Last weekend was the Sparkling Beauties Luau Pageant.
the Director is Melissa, she is great, i think very fair
this pageant consisted of beauty and outfit of choice OOC and then an optional of talent and two photogenic optionals, once glitz and one natural. Pictures are submitted a certain date before the pageant to be judged.
there were 19 girls competing. The higher titles to win are Grand Supreme; Mini Supreme; Talent Supreme; Most Beautiful; Best photo natural and Best photo glitz and then each division has a division queen and if you win none of that you are a princess. everyone leaves with a crown, only queens and higher titles get sashes as well. If you participate in optionals you can be double or multiple crowned, or at least multiple sashes and trophies.
there are also mini optionals at the door, best eyes, best smile, personality, and two others.
Sparkling Beauty pageants are semi glitz,so you can wear make up, not sure if you can wear flippers and hair pieces, but her rules tell you. She has a pageant every month or two.
This one was held at the DoubleTree hotel in Mundelein, a hop, skip, and jump from where I live.
On pageant day last weekend Sam rolled Sheridan's hair at home and I went and checked in and then i went to pick up our friends whose daughter was crowning, from the Libertyville Train station.
We got to spend time with our friend Alison who is 9 and was competing (she is in NISP with Sheridan) and her mom Jodi, and then our friend Mia was crowning and so was our friend Kassie P.
Sheridan was amazing. But it was a tough competition. Her division was originally 11-14 but because there were 8 girls in this division they split it to 11-12 and 13-14. Our friend Francine was competing, she is 13 and amazing. She can dance ballet, pointe so amazingly and i dont even like ballet, but when she dances it, you cant help to enjoy. Her mom makes her costumes and does a fabulous job.
Last time Sheridan and Francine competed was a Sparkling Beauties Snow Pageant and Sheridan won Talent in that one and won Mini Supreme and Frances won Supreme.

In this pageant, Frances again won Grand Supreme and Sheridan won Mini Supreme, but sheridan also won Talent, (she and Frances were tied and they broke the tie with the facial beauty score and sheridan won). Sheridan also won best Natural photo and then in her division one personality and smile.

Very Exciting and fun day.
