Miss Chicago Photo Shoot

Last Sunday Sheridan had new photos taken for Miss Chicago Outstanding PreTeen.
They were taken by the spectacular photographer Jennifer Heim. She made the shoot fun, had music and a great, new, magnificent, beautiful home studio.

She also takes photos for Miss Galaxy, our good friends Zena M. and Abbie H have shot magnificent photos with her as well. You would be wise to look her up. Her prices are reasonable and she makes it fun.



Here are a few of them of Sheridan. Wow doesnt she look old? She is only 12 so I will be getting a shotgun soon. LOL. I think Sheridan is exceptionally photogenic but of course I am a little bit biased towards my own child.

Concordia Relay for Life April 2009

There was a great Relay for Life Event this year at Concordia University. Our fellow Queen Imani Muse (and her mom Leslie) put the event together for IL Queens Unite.

Sheridan attended with her fellow queen as well as many other queens for other pageant systems, and they walked. They also ate, got their faces painted, and had a blast for a very worthwhile cause.

Cancer is an important program to support as it has affected our family in many ways. My father passed away from cancer 14 years ago,a rare form, slow growing tumor and two years later my mother died of Ovarian cancer. Sheridan was named after both my parents, Sheldon and Sheila. My stepfather passed away a few years later from throat and then brain cancer, he wasnt even a smoker and my mentor and Sheridan's pseudo grandma, Joy passed away from Ovarian cancer about 4 years ago as well.

Anytime you have an opportunity to support this worthy cause you should attend a relay for life. We did a few last year and a few the year before. There is always so much to do and so many ways to fundraise and have fun while doing it.

Miss Chicago Outstanding Preteen

Hi All,
On March 20, 2010 while I was out of town on a business trip, my good friends Sam and Allie took care of my daughter Sheridan and brought her to the Miss Chicago competiton held at Northeastern University.

There were a total of 6 preteens competing, one of which was Sheridan, three teens and 20-22 Miss contestants.

As I was waiting to board a plane i frantically tried to contact any friends that were there to see how interview had went. It was scheduled at 11am but ended up occuring at about 1 or 130. Sheridan wore the cutest outfit, a black sweater dress with a faux black and white collared shirt under it and a red belt and red pumps.
Sheridan interviewed with a panel of 5 judges and it went well. It went so well that one said during her interview what an inspiration she was and how impressed she was, did you see i said DURING the interview, wow.


Sheridan in interview outfit, after a good, positive interview.

I finally was able to connect via Facebook and Sam as well so she posted updates on FB. It seems the theater they were in was a deadzone for wireless so know one could text me.

Sam on FB invited a group of over 50 people to attend as a cheering section for Sheridan since I was not there to support her and I am as loud as 50, LOL.
We had a great group show up, 30 people or so including Sam and Allie, Cassidy and Janine, Jen, Sam and Aliya, Annika, Coleen and Brianna, Tricia, Julie and Meg, Kristen and Robin, Sheryl and Cassie, Zena and her fellow Galaxy queen, Sharon and Kalina, Jim, Alicia and Mia, and of course the outgoing preteen queen who is a friend Ashley. There may be more that I missed but it was a great turn out. Thank you all for being there when I could not be there.

Some of Sheridan's cheering section. thanks for coming.

Sheridan was amazing in talent so I heard and when she walked out in her blue gown really shown through. She had also modeled sportswear and after opening number answered her pop question. I believe it went well.
