Susie Castillo of Massachusetts, Miss USA 2003, reacts to winning the title. She was crowned Monday at Municipal Auditorium. Edward A. Ornelas/Express-News

The event was telecast live on NBC.

Castillo, 23, from Lawrence, Mass., said San Antonio left an indelible impression on her.

"The people here is what I really will remember," she said after winning the title. "It has given me a new definition of Southern hospitality."

:clap:Castillo was the first Hispanic Miss Massachusetts USA. :clap:

"Hopefully I can eliminate (negative) stereotypes that there are about Latin American people," she told reporters after being crowned.

Miss USA will receive, among her many prizes, a yearlong salary as Miss USA, a riverside apartment in New York City for her reign (complete with housekeeper, laundry service and ground transportation), a pearl and diamond tiara from Mikimoto valued at $17,500, a $20,000 wardrobe allowance, a two-year scholarship ($45,000) to the School for Film and Television, and yearlong dermatology and dental services.

Wow!

YAY MISS MASS! :D

The one night I didn't watch it...I was watching Fear Factor with them all on it, but I didn't watch it afterwards... oh well.

Congrats to Miss Mass! :D

I watched some of it, and gave amy the 411

Yep I was Miss Illinois. I got cheated.

LOL Chris...

I didn't watch it but Chris gave me a play-by-play of what was happening.

Congratulations to Miss USA.
Massachusetts is proud of you! :clap:

:p My AA, the beauty queen.

Miss Mass was really pretty. I still was rooting for Miss Michigan and although she didn't win the title, at least she placed in the top 3. Way to go Miss Michigan!

Ok I have a question. Do they still hold the Miss Michigan pagent in Muskegon MI?

I couldnt really tell if she was hispanic or black. Im happy for her. She was the first hispanic? I wonder what type of hispanic...my grandma is Pueto Rican....

anyway, Go her!! :)

I RECORDED THE MISS USA THIS WEEK!!!

My mom and I just found out that Miss Michigan and I both went to WELS Lutheran elementary schools. Since we are both around the same age, we probably competed at the same track meets. Small world huh.

Now, I've been wondering...is there a difference between Miss USA and Miss America? Are they the same thing? :)

Miss USA is more like a beauty contest, because there is no talent portion of the show like there is in Miss America.

Ah! Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)

Guess what? ?The reason that I knew Elisa and her parents is that her father was principal at the WELS Lutheran school that my kids attended! Her mother was the pre- school teacher. I babysat for Elisa and her siblings once in a while. But this was so long ago that she most likely wouldn't remember. My sister was Elisa's Sunday school teacher. Small world, yes.;)
