With less than 2 weeks to go until the Europe PERFECT final's and it's finally sinking in that pageant season has truly begun! First of all some exciting news with my fellow beauty queens is that this image (shot by Cal-Tristan Photographic) will be on the front of Kiss Gyms very soon! Right next to the door! Amazing to see what we will look like and exciting every time someone drives past they will see Team Wiltshire! This was just a mess around shot which produced great results! I also had another photo shoot with Cal-Tristan Photographic which I have to say the images are just too good! Funny as well as serious. I love that I can have fun on a shoot and still get some creditable shots to use.
Me and Miss Swindon Ela Good also helped raise funds for Tots4Cots at the Swindon Fightclub, where we also got to go in the ring to help draw the raffle and see some amazing fights! Shows that Swindon has diverse talent and can exceed in everything! We enjoyed the V.I.P treatment and even the cool magician who i am still confludded by!
Pageant season offically started for Team Wiltshire with Miss Charity Heart which was helping raise fund for the British Heart Foundation. Myself, Georgia (Miss Wiltshire Galaxy), Ruth (Miss Wiltshire), Ela (Miss Swindon) and Steph (Miss Wiltshire finalist) all travelled up north to compete and help raise some funds! It was an eventful trip up and I love pageant days as you meet long lost friends you haven't seen in months and get to dress up in sparkles! There was three rounds, the first being the "This is me" round which represented you. I made a skirt out of BHF Charity bags, teamed with sequins, sequins, sequins! I chose this because I am quite eco, and always try and reuse everything, epically when it comes to clothes! I am not shy to shop from a charity shop and was brought up in hand me downs (although i was the second oldest so not that bad and sisters usually steal clothes from one another). I also love Swishing (clothes swapping). The second was the red round which I wore a lispy red dress with a detachable low train from Stardust boutique, to change a normal dress into pageant dress! I also had a chance to wear my new pageant shoes which are super high and for once don't have an ankle strap! No falling over though so saved the comedy for another day. The final round which every pageant must have is the evening dress round. I wore my trusty yellow Stardust boutique in which i won Miss Swindon and I think people are tired of seeing that yellow dress!! But since I know have short hair, it deserved another outing! I loved being on the stage and so happy to compete with my fellow friends!
Although I did not place, Georgia won the whole thing at her first pageant and Ruth came second! So Wiltshire took the whole Miss! I recieved some good feedback from the scores and will know what to imporve on for PERFECT! Couldn;t resist getting what is going to be our trademark "W" sign for Wiltshire! I know its cheesy but these girls really are my best freinds, and amazing that we all met through pageants. We've been through our ups and downs, helping our personal lifes, holidaying together and raising awareness of charities and the psotive side of pageants!
On the subject of friendship, Georgia competed in Miss Galaxy England representing Wiltshire last weekend, and of course us sister queens travelled the 400 odd miles there and back, getting 3 hours sleep for work the next day but all worth it to support our best friend! And she did amazing!! Won Publicity Queen which we knew she would, after attending so many appearances together and taking the title into her own. Now everyone knows who Miss Wiltshire Galaxy is! She also placed top 15 out of 60 girls, I am so proud of her and everything she has achieved! She should of won! ;) I competed in Galaxy two years ago representing Swindon and it's amazing to see the pageant grow and the crowns are amazing! Watching the finals made me realise how much I love pageants and can't believe I was ever going to give them up for someone! Me and Ruth were naming familiar girls, what pageant make their dress was and picking our top 5! makes me more determined to place at Europe's Perfect and try and bring it back for Wiltshire! All my outfits are ready, I am being trained by the amazing Nick Tuckett and Adam York of Kiss Gyms, looking after my diet and being helped with advice from all my pageant friends! Ready to ROCK that PERFECT stage. Wish me luck!!!
