The morning started with a practice at about 830-9 and then changing for the first of three performing optionals. The first optionals was Star Modeling, to be followed by Sportswear Modeling and lastly by Talent. Before these optionals began the judges also judged the girls on the optionals they could turn in, being essay, photogenic; and community service poster.
For Star Modeling Sheridan wore a zebra blouse with white capri pants, zebra sparkly flats, zebra earrings and a black hat. For Sportswear she wore a blue tennis skort, a white sleeveless top, a white visor, blue hanging heart earrings, white socks and gym shoes and of course nicely decorated tennis racket. For her talent, playing piano, she wore a beautiful coral gown and she played the Sea Chanty (What can you do with a drunken sailor).
After optionals it was lunch, mmm yummy healthy McDonalds, then back to redo the hair. I forgot to mention we put Sheridan's hair in hot rollers this morning, did the poof or bump and then a flip of the hair. We reroled it after lunch to get the curl back, her hair is very light, thin and drops, doesnt hold a curl very well or very long.
Next was a speech to be given. Sheridan wore her new suit and gave a speech on The person she most admires, and it was ME, so nice. She did a great performance. Then the girls changed into their gowns for the modeling of the gowns and answering the two questions, one from their information sheet and one from a basket of pop questions.
Sheridan's first question from her fact sheet was about her participating in a program at school called Walk Chicago and she explained what it was, how they go out on a track and walk and then earn rewards at the end of the year for the laps they counted throughout the year.
Her second question was about looks and do you have to look good all the time - her answer was no because I think inner beauty is what is important not the physical looks. Her replies were amazing.
Unfortunately these process took a long time and so did the tabulating and handing out the prizes and crowning. They started after lunch about 30 minutes late and that put the afternoon behind. This was bad for us because Sheridan had a play to be in at 630 and Sheridan earned a crown but we waited until 6pm. We were really pushing it.
Today was a hard day of competion. Only 15 girls/women competed overall in the pageant. Sheridan's division had 5 girls, like last year, and they were all very, very good, stiff competition, also like last year.
Sheridan's friend Marissa earned the princess ambassador, that is what Sheridan was last year. Kara was the Jr. winner, and she also hold a high title in Dream Girls. I failed to mention before the actual crowning awards were given for optionals. Sheridan won many medals including one for poster and essay and for both modeling optionals and she won the trophies and prizes for both the modeling, and some cool nisp bags with them as well. Sheridan also won the award for the highest overall points in the pageant portion alone, without the optional points. With that and with the two girls crowned in Jr. division we know that she had the chance of winning the two higher crowns she was competing for as well, including Elite and Jr. Supreme Star.
Sheridan won Jr. Supreme Star and the crown is sooo big. The trophy is over half her size. She also got a cool septor, a photo box, an address book, a mini calculator key chain, a gorgeous rhinestone necklace and earrings and a crown pin and tshirt, and I forgot the cool black and white sash too. She was very excited, overwhelmed and so was I. We were very proud.
You Rock Sheridan.
