Natural Pageants do's and don'ts
So it drives me nuts when I see basic mistakes in natural pageants,
Don't wear a dress that is too short, shows your ankles, or is a cocktail dress for formal wear.
Do wear one that nicely touches/brushes the floor.
Don't wear a dress that you can trip on.
Don't wear heels that you can't walk in.
Do learn how to walk smoothly and gracefully in heels.
Do practice walking in your clothing, outfits.
Do wear age appropriate clothing
Don't dress too old.
Don't act overly sexy, pageants are glamorous not slutty.
Don't put your hand on your hips when modeling gown.
Don't hold your dress
Don't lift you dress (if too long wear higher heals or get shortened)

miss chicago 2012
last night was the miss chicago 2012 pageant and it was bittersweet, sheridan gave up her title as Miss chicago outstanding preteen. It was a long day. we were at Concordia university, arriving at 730am and the pageant began at 4 and ended by 8.
we had 25 miss 10 teen and 3 preteen, 5 princesses. it was a long day and night. interviews started at 8am and ran until about 2pm, in between the ladies did talent tech on stage, learned their walks for the pageant and learned the intro number.
Cara the director was so organzized. she had a great team helping her, her mom and dad, her cousin who was in charge of the production on stage. she had Jennifer Heim as photographer and Mathew Jacobsen videoing. they are both such professionals and do a great job.
Cara provided lunch for the whole gang of 40 contestants plus the outgoing queens and their families as well.
The outgoing Miss chicago Erika Uhlig and Miss IL Hannah Smith (former Miss Windy City) were the emcees. Sheridan the outgoing Miss Chicago OPT and Rebekah Williams the outgoing Miss Chicago Teen asked the questions to the princesses/preteens and the teens respectively. Mia our outgoing Miss Chicago Princess led active wear for the princesses.
Interviews for miss were 10 minutes, Teens interview was 8 minutes and preteen 6. the miss go 9min30 sec and have a 30 sec wrap up if they choose.
The princess, teen and preteen model active wear in a sporting outfit, the miss in a bathing suit. they all do a talent, preteen and Miss have 90 seconds and teen has two minutes. Then they model gown.
what was nice is after intro where they all say their names, they have their on stage pop question, usually about their platform.
All ran smoothly.
Sheridan sang On My Own from Les Miserable and was dressed as beautiful as she sang (and yes I am biased but it was true). Sam H. did her hair and makeup and she looked amazing as always. Rebekah performed her talent as a lyrical dance and Erika sang the national anthem at the beginning of the pageant and played her violen as her farewell performance.
It was a great day!!
