What a weekend! This weekend the new Miss America, Betty Cantrell, was crowned and on that same day I found out that I will be competing in the Miss America system! I applied a couple of months ago to the Miss East King County pageant when I found out that this year would be last to compete in this system. I've heard more good and a little bad about the America system but I'm overwhelmed by their dedication to their community and service that coerced me into applying for another competition. If you remember, my friend Tawny competed in this pageant last year. It was her experience that influenced me to go for it!
On Sunday I not only met Miss East King County-Ashley Cranston this weekend but our director, another contestant, and got all the details of the system and our pageant while we watched Miss America 2015. This system is quite different than USA and even Earth but I love that they are wanting to modernize and I love all the events that will help be get more involved with all aspects of my community!
I am incredibly nervous about this system, purely because of talent. I have an idea (which won't be spoken of until AFTER I have competed) but I think it'll be good because it's quirky, interesting, and funny if I pull it off properly. Unfortunately, my interview gown was destroyed in the washing (a white dress with a big black stain on it that looks like a burn) and I don't have an on stage bikini... Wardrobe problems aside, I think I will grow even more from this experience. With the opportunity for scholarship money, something my other pageants hadn't offered, I think this is a great once in a lifetime chance (literally only this year).
So please support me in this and I will keep you updated on all things pageantry as I get ready to compete! The competition is only a month away so big things are going to happen!
