Ms I 1999
By Jabber
Intro

It's finally here.  I've had a hard time figuring out what I want to include
and what I don't, as the weekend was rich with text, but, as usual, I've
taken minimal notes.  Other than the top 6 (which I personally witnessed
their placings) I will be using GeneX's commentary as to the other placings,
as so far, that's the only place I've seen the non-top 6 placings.  I wasn't
privy to official scorecards and such.  

A little history, I'd first attended the Ms. I in '95, back when I was
living in Charlotte, NC.  I drove to Columbus, and had seen the Fitness
finals, and Ms. International prejudging then (the fitness and bodybuilding
women were two separate events then), but due to a royal screw-up, did not
get a chance to see the finals, and had no intention upon paying a scalper
double for a ticket to the finals.  Each subsequent year, until now, I'd had
some weird things, most BS, one quite wonderful (that I won't burden you
with) happen that prevented me from attending the Ms. I again.  Until 1999.
While again, there was a major unforeseen turn of events, it turned out to
be a great event and great weekend, just the same.
