Your Letter

Hello NAM, and future NAM girls, 
  How are you all doing? I am fine thank you. And no, I have not posted for a year, but that was because my pageant was over, and I love National American Miss, but I have a life besides them, so I spent time focusing on that.
  
  And I know everyone was just like, oh my gosh, I don't know you I don't follow you, I've never read your posts before. 
 And I'm like I don't care.

  Anyway, NAM letters should soon be arriving in the mail boxes of little girls all throughout the United States. You may have already had an open call, or are preparing for one, I've already written a post on that, and I may do another one. 
  
  So to the Letter, what is it? Basically NAM got a hold of you, I don't know how they do, but they get a lot of people, and asked you to join their pageant. I love NAM, and I can promise it is not a fraud, I really hope you go to the open call.  Here is all the basic info you need to know to decide if you want to do it or not.
  
 The total required money is $520. That's $480 for entrance, and $40 for the required production outfit. Other "optional" costs will include hotel stays, optional contests, food, and pageant entry for your family. Altogether my pageant probably cost almost $1,000, but I paid for at least $680 with sponsors. (Sorry I changed font, my computer is mean.).

Okay, I'm back.
 
  So you want to know about NAM, and now (if you haven't read the post below this, you should. It's part one of the synopsis of NAM) I'm going to do a quick overveiw of how it works.
 
  They have three must competitions, formal wear, an escort, you onstage, lights around a lovely gown; interview, one-in-one judges and you talking, and introduction, my favorite! You on a smaller stage, giving a 30 sec. intro to tell everyone who you are.

  National American Miss main focus is to give confidence to girls. You will do well if you aren't afraid of public speaking, and like being on a stage, or in an interview setting. At the same time, even if you aren't the most comfortable with being onstage, I would still encourage you to try it. Just read the magazines (after open call) and practice, then when pageant weekend comes, have fun.
