Roanoke, Virginia
After her year of service, several corporations and associations, including the Manmade Fiber Producer�s Association, Clairol, The Palm Aire Spa and the Made in the USA Council, chose Kylene to be their spokesperson. Drawing from her experience as a writer, producer and editor of her own segments on the Today Show, Kylene has produced fashion shows for the American Yarn Spinners Association, the America Textile Manufacturers Association, and companies associated with the Crafted with Pride Council.
Her television appearances have included frequent reports for NBC�s Today Show, CNN�s Crossfire (for a debate on issues surrounding the Miss America Competition), and Live with Regis and Kathy Lee. Articles about Kylene have appeared in publications such as Newsweek, People, Time, USA Today, The New York Times, WWD and the cover of Travel and Leisure magazine.
Winning the Miss America title as an acrobatic dancer, Kylene believes that fitness and beauty go hand in hand with fashion. Her keen observations as Miss America plus her experience from her Palm Beach boutique were the fuel to write Southern Beauty, A Total Fitness and Beauty Program for That All American Winning Look. She has also released her own exercise album, �Stamina With Style.�
In 1992, Kylene moved from Palm Beach to Toronto, Canada and married Ralph Hibbard, a Canadian businessman best known for owning several department stores. Together, they owned Great American Sportswear in downtown Toronto until June 2000.
Kylene resides between Toronto and Naples, FL with her husband and her standard poodle, Harold.
