Pageant night...it's my favorite. I want my wedding to have a similar feel...everyone running around getting ready together. Busy, busy, busy!
After sitting through five pageants, it was refreshing to get to participate in the behind-the-scenes action. A tea, practices, and the actual event--it was wonderful.
Last night, starting at 5:30 PM, I ran around, curled hair, pinned bandanas, hustled girls on and off stage, and had an absolute ball assisting with a pageant I won seven years ago. Amanda, who I crowned in 2007, was also there, running around and enjoying it just as much!
I was proud of the seriousness with which the girls took the pageant. They made an effort to perfect their dance, walk, and speech. It was beautiful. They were beautiful.
While at the tea a couple of weeks ago, I was standing there with at
least three other Jr. Miss Bath County's. The feeling of sisterhood
struck me. I'd never thought of it before. I only knew Amanda but none
of the other Jr. Miss queens who came after me. Now I know them. Now,
Jordan has joined the line. I don't know if any of the other girls
know what I'm talking about...but maybe when several years have passed,
they'll feel it, too.
The contestants are beautiful girls who I am privileged to have gotten
to know and work with. They made the pageant fun and a huge success!
Enjoy a few photos from the night!
