Okay so this post, random topics, mostly I'm really mad and just want to write, because I like writing, and I already published a post on my other blog, and I think people would freak out if I published to posts in one day.
If any of you care, which obviously you don't (which may not be true) I do plan on posting more about NAM when open call starts up, or whatever. Plus I am signed up for Natianols so I might actually know more.
Okay, so something I think is really important for first time girls is to have a reason you want to win. Especially the older girls. The judges do not know how much if any community service you have done, except for what's on your resume, but they want someone who at leasts wants to do it.
Darlings, if you really hate community service, don't go out. You would have a really bad year. But I'm assuming you don't hate it. I'm assuming you might be interested in trying it out, or maybe you already do that. Let the judges know about that when you can.
Interveiw is hard to be serious in, because of what they ask you, but try and keep the goal in mind.
Okay so my next tip is on clothes, there were 172 other girls in the Iowa Jr. Teen. You're gonna have a hard time being remembered. THAT DOESN'T MEAN BUY A HUGE DRESS! If you win because of a dress NAM isn't NAM. Sometimes plain dresses win, actually, a lot of the time. Love you're dress, but you don't necessarily want that to be how the judges remember you..
A good way to be remembered by them is to have almost the same hairdo every time they see you, don't switch from a bun to down, curls to straight, have one hair do, it can change a little in interveiw and formal wear, but again keep it as close to the same as possible.
Let's say you've done all 3 required parts, and you're ready for the pageant, you don't know it yet, but you're in the top twenty (five, ten, whatever number the judges replace)., when you walk on that stage you are being re scoured. They are watching you in dance, they are watching you in formal, as you receive your prizes,and they are saying is this girl who we want. So when you are doing you're finale pageant, look your best. So many girls were like, either I won or I didn't, why should I curl my hair. 3 answers, you might be rejudged if you scoured high enough, people are filming, and watching, and if you win, you'll want to look ah-mazing for the crowning.
Okay so now you lost. Keep practicing for next year! So few girls ever go back. They think it dosen't matter. Learn, try, win. I hope to be queen someday, and see one of you go to nationals with me, but neither one of us will if we don't try, if we don't think about it, if we don't care.
Good luck!
Love Shadow.
