[insert your own quote here]
Well. The truth is. You are right. I am crazy. I did say I was done. But I am addicted, so I had to do another. As for your other comments, let me know… and I will respond accordingly. I feel really good about this one, and I know I have a lot of support from people around me (inside and outside of the pageant bubble). Here is my pageant to do list:
- Shorten talent. ( How do they expect people to perform a whole climatic talent in 90 seconds?)
- Pick a platform.
- Get skinny and toned. (riiiiiight….. this one is always a work in progress)
- Decide which dress and swimsuit.
- Figure out how to do pageant hair since I chopped it.
For those of you who don’t know my pageant history, let me give you a brief overview:
July 2007- Miss Magic Valley. Platform: Teaching Respect to Youth. Talent: Song/Dance. Everything went really well. I got lots of compliments, but I found out double talents are not the best choice (judges don’t love them.)
July 2008- Miss Magic Valley. Platform: Young Voter Awareness. Talent: Tap Dance. In the preliminaries I won talent and interview. I scored lower in swimsuit, which is my weakest point. I was the 1st runner up to Miss Jessica Starley.
October 2008- Miss Tri Counties. Platform: Young Voter Awareness. Talent: Tap Dance. Really, not so into it. I was a little disconnected. I scored high in talent and interview. But they only announced the top three, needless to say. I was not one.
Pray for me.
