So did you all watch the 1998 Women's Pro Champs this past week-end? If you missed it here are a few highlights from the competition! Even though Amy Chow won, Nique was still awesome & here are a few cool things I noticed about her!
1.) *Nique's long hair in a bun?* She ALWAYS leaves it down!!
2.) *A 3rd stud in her ear?* It's been there since her Oprah appearance!
3.) *Nique a little taller?* She grew 5 inches in a year! She is now 5'0"
4.) *A new beam mount?* Yep. It's a front somi mount instead of her regular one! She's been using it since 
     the Battle of the Sexes competition!
5.) *The Devil went down to Georgia* It was a different routine but the music still brings back 
     a lot of memories!
6.) *Where's that smile of hers?* Nique all grown up? Nah... doubt it!  

Also did you notice they kept calling her Dominique Mo-SHEE-anu? Hehe!
