The 2004 Miss USA competition kicked off with an elegant preliminary event hosted by Los Angeles news personality Sam Rubin, Miss Universe choreographer and producer Scott Grossman and Miss USA 2003, Susie Castillo in a "resplendent red" gown, worthy of the Oscar hosting Kodak Theatre, where she received the audience's appreciation for a job well done, as she raised $28 million dollars for breast and overian cancer charities throughout the year. She also lamented the two and a half hours of daily gym training she used to help shape-up for the previous years competition.

Red was the order of the night as the delegates hit the stage in bright red brief bikinis, some wearing "belly chains!" Height proved valuable as many contestants topped 5-foot-10 inches. Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma and North Carolina were the early standouts, while Arizona, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, and Virginia looked confident and ready to challenge.

Gowns ranged from South Carolina in white ostrich feathers to Miss Rhode Island's orange number with flowings wings. For me, Missouri and Florida again! Watch for them. But Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Tennesee, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Virgina were also stunners in a spectactular evening gown parade.

Actually, without the benefit of interview info, the top 15 seems like anyone's game. In addition to those already mentioned Hawaii, California, and Texas exhibited an overall appeal that could serve them well. Only the judges and accountants know for sure!
