Just feel ‘pretty’ silly today sooooo…..

Here are a few things pageant life taught me (and yes I do have a past pageant life…eek!)

• White isn’t only for brides

• Not a good time to have grandma make your dress

• Lots of people don’t know that Iowa is the Corn state not the Potato State

• Lots more people don’t know Iowa is a state

• Crowns can be painful if worn for long periods of time

• Hairspray can help keep your swimsuit in place

• Vaseline makes your lips slide over your teeth even when you have absolutely no saliva

• Preparation H …. Yes they really do use it under eyes

• You can have lots of friends one minute and none the next minute

• If you put “bless her heart” in front of it, you can say anything you want about anyone

• You can slap your mom back stage (live to tell about it) and win a pageant

• Some contestants may scream…”but she doesn’t know Jeeeesus” after the queen is crowned

• Some contestants will have “coaches” and “color consultants”

• A girl from Iowa, the corn state, with a dress her grandma made, doesn’t stand a chance
