Every three days on the Royal Caribbean site videos are being revealed of Michelle competing with swimmer Greg Louganis and we fans have the opportunity to vote for who we believe is the winner! We can vote for the winner and get an opportunity to win a 7 day cruise on the Royal Caribbean. But most importantly, we want Michelle to win don't we? So far, she has beaten Greg in the "Flow Rider" show down and "Rock Climbing".

The latest, Michelle skating on the Royal Caribbean - well, has Greg beat hands down for most obvious reasons - is it even a competition? Continue to come back every three days and make sure you vote for Michelle And oh my, this is the first we've seen her skate in a long time! * Brings tears to my eyes! *

A friend of mine who is an advocate for domestic violence is attending tonight's dinner and just posted these pics on FB from tonight's APAICS Gala which is being held at the Ritz Hotel in Washington DC. Looks like she ran in to Michelle.

I uploaded them so that they can be posted on the forum (enjoy).
