PHEW! That was a close one! Adrianna’s top and Sabra’s top were neck and neck, but when I closed the poll this morning, Adrianna was ahead by about 10 votes. Congratulations to Adrianna! Congratulations are in order to all of you from yesterday’s group — that was a most impressive set of tops!

Please tell your friends and family that they’ll only be able to vote for one day (until about 7 AM EST tomorrow morning). You’ll need to vote over on the right sidebar, scroll down past the sponsor buttons.
