This weekend, I directed my very own pageant for the first time! I did it as a fundraiser for Miss Tennessee USA 2012, to pay for my entry fee and my dress. At first, I was expecting to recruit around 25-30 local girls that were interested in competing in an inexpensive, natural pageant...instead I pulled about 60 [give or take a few] girls, some local, and some girls that compete nationally in high glitz pageants.
The pageant was overall a success...I met my goal and I was personally very happy with it. Unfortunately, we had a late start due to door entries and ended up with some angry parents. Once we got started...it flowed pretty well. The competition was FIERCE! I can't believe I managed to pull so many talented and beautiful little girls!
I now have 7 beautiful queens, a very handsome little king, 2 mini supremes and a wonderful high point supreme. My judges picked wonderful girls but I'm just SO happy it's finally over with! My future as a director is definitely unknown... I had a lot of fun with it and I love being a part of pageants and helping the little girls but....the parents...aren't always your number 1 fan. Which I, of course, realize that there will never be a time when you can make EVERYONE happy but...I guess I always try.
I will post pictures of my winners soon :)
