We are a pageant family. There. I said it. My daughter competes in the Miss America Organization pageant. I compete in U.S. United and American Beauties Plus. Pageant has not only helped both of us to develop amazing skills in public speaking, outreach and self confidence, it has also brought us closer than anything I can think of. It's been a real blessing to us.
Now, I'm a HUGE sports fan, and you can find me watching football on Sundays and baseball during the summer. I always joke that I want to be a sportscaster when I grow up. Seriously, though, many of our pageant friends, Emily and I bomb our Facebook feed with pageant fun during both the Miss America and Miss USA pageants. Tonight was no exception.
Tonight's Miss America 2016 was no different. Unfortunately our Kensie from Missouri wasn't chosen to move on, but that didn't mean it wasn't a fantastic pageant. We were shocked at the plainness of the gowns, as well as the lack of butt glue during swimsuit competition. The On Stage Questions were wonderful. Everything from, "Which woman belongs on the first $20 bill?" to, "Should Kim Davis, the clerk in Kentucky who spent time in jail for not issuing same sex marriage licenses, quit her job?" All great questions, and many good answers. In the end, Miss Georgia was crowned Miss America. She was fresh and fun, and her talent was phenomenal. She sang opera, and it was beautiful.
So, here are pictures of me and Emily competing. Enjoy!
