Blanche Murphy - 2nd Runner-Up

People's Choice Award

1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
The "Holiday Season is the best time of year! It begins with the fun and costumes of Halloween, then my birthday, and Thanksgiving reunion with family, followed by the joy of Christmastime. Then what better conclusion than ending with a fresh start, on a New Year?!

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My Dad said if the Maasai warrior who offered cows to "buy" me had thrown in two goats, that I would be living in Tanzania, Africa! I have herded sheep in New Zealand, and fished crocodile infested waters in Australia; ending up with a shark on my line.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Lush and green with abundant parks, Little Rock is a beautiful city. Our Capitol Building has been used in many movies, as it is a scaled replica of our nation's capitol. The Clinton Presidential Library also attracts visitors worldwide. I have "big city" amenities with "small town" convenience.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Everyday, regardless of season, I must put on my fuzzy socks! My hands and feet are perpetually cold, and it is a daily warming ritual. Fuzzy socks go everywhere I go!

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I have been blessed to have traveled to four continents, but never seem to have quenched my travel thirst. Majoring in Political Sciences, the Middle East has a growing fascination to me. I desire to explore the whole world in my lifetime, and experience its vast cultures.
