National American Miss
What an experience we had last weekend at the Missouri National American Miss pageant! Although Emily didn't win or place, she learned so much, and we will definitely be more prepared next year.
This is, by far, the most expensive pageant we've tried. We learned a number of positive things. How to stand. How to walk. How to hold a microphone. How to curl her hair endlessly. How to pack. How to manage our paperwork. How to schedule.
We also learned that she isn't polished enough for talent. That's okay! Dancing is her hobby, not her lifelong dream. We learned that next year, she should continue to do Spokesmodel (but learn her speech better). She is definitely a winner in volunteerism (but we need to organize our paperwork better). We learned that she should try commercial acting. Modeling. Casual Wear Modeling. Photogenic. She learned that she needs to start EARLY for sponsorships. She is naturally an IT girl, as was definitely shown in her amazing personal introduction. And, girl, she looks GOOOoood (especially in her heels).
We learned to take lots of pictures, because the photo CDs and the video are well out of our price range. We learned that her suit was amazing. We learned that personality is a plus and will get her far; not only in the pageant world, but also in life.
We are armed and dangerous now! Next week, we travel to Atlanta for the National US United pageant. She is doing photogenic, talent, casual wear modeling, introduction, community service.
And then, for fun, we are entering the regional America's Beautiful Role Model pageant in Louisville, KY in August.
She was disappointed, because this is the first pageant she hasn't won. But you know what? She needed that, I think. I know it's sad, but next year, she will do better. Hey, Emily...I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!
Well, this is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your picture provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a marvellous job! קבלה לעם
