So the day arrived! 22nd September, early start with fellow contestent Hannah (with some maccy brekkie to fill us up for the day) and we were off!! Trying to find Brighton on the satnav which failed so phone directions! We arrived before anyone else so I just HAD to pratice on the stage, strutting to "Sexy and i know it". Comedy is always a good start to the day! So we rehearsed in our Uk's Dazzling Beauty tops, pink shorts and white shoes! A long day ahead! we had a quick break where me, hannah and verity ran to the nearest beahside shop and armed ourself with goodies!
As you can see from the side of me! hehe
Then it was straight to interviews, where I must of blabbed too much but they saw my portfolio with my blogs so they can see I'm a bit of a chatterbox! Then run up the three flights of stairs to be laced into my pink dress for the pink hollywood round!
I couldnt get out of this dress!! Lucky for pageant girls always help out, esp as others have corsetted backs! hehe Then back on stage in our black dresses again for onstage interviews, lots of talking! My question was if you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? I chose random, smiley and trusting. Odd mix but i'm sure my explanations were understood!
Then United Kingdom round, my fav! This is my fav eco dress, it took me forever to make and my hands were in pain from being stabbed from the needles! (I was never good at sewing)I loved walking on stage, waving the flag proud! Pulling silly faces to my friends (away from the judges, you can't always be serious!).
Talent round next, and i chose to sing. Sooooo i've never sang in front of an audience before, like ever. I don't even sing to my family, although the odd session on singstar at family parties! The fact that I chose what was going to be my wedding song, it seemed well silly! But I sang for closure, and I sang my little heart out! I think people thought I was going to be crap haha. At the end I did get emotional, which made others emotional too! But i did it! And i am so happy i did, facing the fear!
There was amazing dancing and everyone put on a show. But the best bit about the finals, evening dress round!! I see it as a mental shopping trip in my head looking at the other girls's dresses, they are gorgeous! I had a gorge sherri hill dress, lent to me by my amazing sister queen Ruth and I loved it so much! I NEED to open my own dress shop, well order Kylie's entire collection @ Stardust Boutique. After walking what seemed like snailpace, it was award time!!!!
The awards i won was Beauty Queen of the Month September 2012 for my hard work throughout the month which was so nice and unexpected! Then the real suprise was winning Miss Talent UK for my singing, the crying didn't ruin it!! Then the last was to be called 1st Runner Up Uks Dazzling Beauty, to place was amazing but to win runner up, i felt like i had won the big crown! Well done to the winner Louise who had worked really hard for that tile! Also big well done to my sister Hannah for winning England's Dazzling Beauty! I was so proud of her! And massive thank you to my sister wiltshire beauty queens who came all that way to see me, next time it will be you guys!! I love how pageants bring people close together and what Miss Wiltshire galaxy said, "pageant friends are friend for life". So true <3
