That picture was when Lonnie and Kevin were in a special photo booth at the Key Club, when they were singing away (I hope the video comes out). Did you guys know that both LT and Kevin are good singers!
Well, Ray Arde did win Lonnie's first contest back when it was called the California Collegiates. Sherilyn was with O'Hearn at the show last year, but am not sure of their relationship currently. Oh, and Arde isn't the only person who has competed in Lonnie's contest to turn pro. Figure competitors Masae Parker and Mary Jo Cooke got their pro cards a couple of years back.
Last year's contest was the best yet, with the largest numbers of contestants and fans ever. I think it will grow even more this year, too. There will be good publicty from this contest, and Lonnie will feature the show in his column via Ironman Magazine. The winners also will be featured as Graphic Muscle Stars in the magazine as well. I will be there having fun, takings pics, etc. And yes, the best part of the contest is that it's only a mile or two away from the Pasadena Cheesecake Factory in old town, where we all go after the show, and stick LT with the bill! See you there!
P.S. Shawn, I didnt know LT sells houses! Teaching, real estate, 18 emcee contests a year, promoter, cheesecake eater - the man does it all...
