Backstage pass to a Pageant...
It's Valentines Day. I never thought I'd spend my Saturday running around backstage at a local pageant. But when i signed up to help my friend direct a pageant, I knew it was going to be a lot of fun!
This photo is great. it's our view from backstage during Evening Wear. My friend Brett played live music during the walk, and jenna katelyn and I got to watch from the back . The flowers were amazing. Chez Bloom at Excelsior at Grand (or something like that) did a great job putting together the bouquets. you can also sort of see the crown next to the flowers.
It's amazing what these girls do. They fit into tight dresses, run through talent numbers multiple times, walk in heels all day, and manage to smile during all of it. It's crazy backstage! helping girls get into dresses, out of dresses, onstage at the right time, and making sure that they eat something so they don't pass out from stress, excitement, and nerves! I'd never realized what they go through in order to make it to the next step towards Miss America.
it was a fun night. but i realized that i am not a pageant person... I can't handle a lot of pressure when it comes to looks and presentation :) I'm all about being realistic and honest about the fact that everyone is a little awkward ;)
