A number of beauty queens recently brought a day of beauty and make-believe to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Miss Mississippi USA 2003 Allison Bloodworth, Miss Memphis 2005 Amy Lindberg, Miss Teen Collierville 2005 Samantha Pappas, Miss Collierville 2005 Amy Robbins and Miss Tennessee USA 2004 Catherine Werne treated patients to an "It’s Only Make Believe Day" of make-up and dress-up. Patients then had the opportunity to walk the runway with the titleholders while posing for photos. The event is a prelude to the upcoming St. Jude Beauty Queen Classic on August 20, at the Memphis Hilton.
