Today was a great morning with our "Getting to Know You" Breakfast and workshop.
We had some yummy Einstein Bagels, Strudels, grapes and Chocolate Milk & Orange Juice.
We went around the table and had everyone introduce themselves and tell 3 interesting facts about themselves. It was nice getting to know all of these incredible young women.
We have 7 girls that are participating in the pageant this year and they are all so talented.
We were able to go over each category and give the girls ideas of what to where and to start thinking about what they want to do for each category.
Some of the HIGHLIGHTS:
INTERVIEW: You want to sell yourself to the judges. You want more of a professional look - You can wear flats if they are more comfortable for you. Confidence, eye contact, clear answers.
WALKING - Walking in the high school is a lot different than walking on stage and in a pageant. Be confident, remember POSTURE and don't wear heals that are too tall and uncomfortable for you.
MODESTY - It's a Princess Pageant NOT Miss America. Remember NO spaghetti straps or strapless dresses. A pageant dress is a full length formal dress to the floor. There are so many options about a dress, you can Buy, Borrow, Rent - just make sure you LOVE it and feel confident in the dress and it makes your feel BEAUTIFUL!!
HAIR & MAKE-UP - Plan ahead, try different ways to wear your hair before the night of the pageant. Make sure that it's exactly what you want and that you LOVE. You want to feel confident.
Make sure that the colors you wear compliment your skin tone not only in make-up but clothing.
ACTIVE WEAR - Its fun and helps show the judges your personality and hobbies. You can use props and make it as fun as you want. It doesn't necessarily have to be sports related. Some ideas from the past:
Playing in the Rain, Catching butterflies, Shopping, Hunting, Swimming in the summer, etc.
We then went over walking the pattern. PRACTICE walking the pattern and the stand.
Remember beautiful lines. POSTURE
