Miss Big Blue  Sondra Fortunato with personal driver & photographer drove the parade vehicle down to the Super Bowl XXXV. Miss Big Blue made a big hit at the truck stops- cheering her on all the way to Tampa.

The first day of arrival in Tampa was "Miss Big Blue’s First Debut" appearing & hosting the NFL celebrity golf tournament with such greats as Gene Upshaw, Mike Vanderjagt Colts, Shaun King Tampa Bay Buc’s quarterback, as well as other NFL celebrities.

Then it was on to radio interviews at the Tampa Media Headquarters- former Giant Great" Billy Taylor" interviewed Miss Big Blue and commented that she looked as great as when he was playing- she returned the compliment. She pinned a flower on Billy while hostessing the N.F.L.Dinner- Dance last year- luckily she didn’t stick him like she did Michael Strahan-accidentally of course, Strahan happens to be one of her favorites! Other radio interviews for Miss Big Blue ranged from Seattle Washington to Tampa Florida where Miss Big Blue boasted about her Big Blue team!

Thursday night was the Miss Big Blue Party at the Tampa Marriott- hosted by some Giants greats like MVP ‘91 "Super Bowl Giant" OJ Anderson, and Stephen Baker "The Touch Down Maker" ’91 Super Bowl Giants, ESPN directors and crewmembers attended as well as family members and friends of the players. Home Shopping Club star John Cremeans really livened up the party with jokes and songs! The guest list also included Sam Garnes & Joe Montgomery, NY Giants, Sean Landeta, Phil Simms, Chris Berman, John Madden, Harry Carson, Bart Oates, L.T. & Jim Burt who Sondra did a Ford Bronco truck commercial with- the list of the Miss Big Blue Party went on and on. Also on the list where George Martin, Mike Attardi,& Baltimore Ravens family members.

Then came Friday evening where Miss Big Blue hosted the "Celebrity Hoops" with music & TV celebrities like Carmen Electra & Aerosmith. Later that evening it was on to appear at the Gala Masquerade party at the Tampa Museum of Science, hosted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Miss Big Blue was photographed by many news media and appeared again in the NY Daily News and Newsday!

Saturday was the big Gasparilla Parade where Miss Millennium & Miss Big Blue Sondra collected more beads than anyone- even ones that blink and light up! She appeared on two different floats throughout the parade and finished up posing with the Tampa Police on their motorcycles.

Then Sunday-Sunday!!! SUPER BOWL XXXV!!! Where Miss Big Blue Appeared on the big screen!

She received a standing ovation from the crowd and even had a private police escort. Aside from cameramen and photographers worldwide filming Sondra even the Raven fans were snapping her photo! After the big game, Miss Big Blue posed with some Giants and told them that 29 other teams wanted to be here, but the Big Blue team made it! Also the Big Blue Giants are NFC Champions & we will see you next year.

Love,

Miss Big Blue
