I was “Miss Topeka” & “Miss Center City” and a “Miss Kansas Finalist” in the Miss America system. Belinda my daughter was “Miss Topeka”, “Miss Sunflower”, “Miss Kansas Teen Finalist”, “Miss Leavenworth County”, “Miss Maple Leaf”, “Miss Hay Capital” and the “Miss America Scholarship Winner in Community Service” in the Miss America system three times. She won “ 1^st RUNNER UP MISS KANSAS 2010” and is one of the few contestants in Miss Kansas’ 55 yr. history who has been a preliminary winner in TALENT, SWIMSUIT, and EVENING GOWN. She was a Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleader 2010-2011. I was fortunate to be “University of Kansas Feature Twirler” and Belinda graduated in just three years with a Dance Degree. Additionally, she was “Kansas State University Twirler.” Belinda did not enter a “pageant” until she was “Top Five” in the Miss Kansas Teen Scholarship Program. I was “1^st Runner-Up Kansas Junior Miss”, but again, really did not enter children pageants. I have won 670 trophies & 128 medals in national, regional, & state dance & baton competitions; Belinda has won 661 trophies & 549 medals in national, regional, & state dance, baton, & cheer competitions. We want OUR PAGEANT to be something VERY different!!!!! WE ARE PROVIDING A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH!!!!!!! There are many people who get bad vibes with the word “pageant.” And it should not be this way. Students can learn grace, poise, correct carriage, proper seating techniques, proper etiquette, walking, interview techniques, and modeling!!!! AND THEY WILL BE SO PROUD OF HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY LOOK!!!!! Frequently, though there are children & parents who would like to “try” a pageant but they do not want to spend $400 or $!!!! So Belinda & I will be directing a pageant where EVERY CONTESTANT WILL COMPETE IN EVENING DRESS/PARTY DRESS, INTERVIEW & CASUAL WEAR . EVERY CONTESTANT WILL COMPETE IN DIFFERENT LANES IN FRONT OF DIFFERENT JUDGES. THEY WILL RECEIVE CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS & REALLY DISCOVER THEIR STRENGTHS & ALSO THINGS TO WORK ON. EVERY CONTESTANT WHO COMPETES WILL WIN A BEAUTIFUL, LARGE, LARGE 2’ TROPHY FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS. THIS WILL NOT BE A PAPERWEIGHT!!! I HAVE JUST ORDERED MANY BEAUTIFUL PAGEANT GOWNS, CASUAL WEAR SETS, 1^ST COMMUNION DRESSES & FLOWER GIRL DRESSES FROM MY MARKET IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA!!!!! We have many beautiful dresses that are $20-$30 & many more beautiful pageant dresses that are $53-$69!!!!!!! I ALSO HAVE BEAUTIFUL PAGEANT DRESSES & BEAUTIFUL DETAILED BEADED DRESSES WITH KEYHOLE BACKS, BEAUTIFUL APPLIQUES, TRAINS, & MORE!!!! However, you do not have to have a beautifuldress to enter this. A Sunday church dress is fine. EVERY CONTESTANT WILL WIN THE SAME LARGE, BEAUTIFUL TROPHY!!!! But if you ever might enter another pageant, see me to help you select a special dress from our store as then you will have it for both!!!!!! Each contestant needs to come dressed in CASUAL WEAR. They will change into EVENING GOWN OR PARTY DRESS. In this they will do INTERVIEW followed by modeling in party dress/evening gown. So they will only change once & will not need any type of interview suit!!!!! AWARDS & TROPHIES WILL BE PRESENTED BY BELINDA, “1^ST RUNNER UP MISS KANSAS 2010” AND KANSAS CITY CHIEFS CHEERLEADER 2010-2011. She is also a former “Miss Sunflower, “ “Miss Topeka”, “Miss Leavenworth County,” and “Miss Kansas Talent, Swimsuit, and Evening Gown Prelim Winner”, having won Talent TWICE & Swimsuit TWICE, a three-time Miss America Community Scholarship Winner, & “Miss American Coed Kansas Teen Winner 2007.” Belinda & I won the National Championship for Family Talent as we performed a twirling/dance duet! You perform your “talents” all the time in our studio and throughout the year….in front of thousands on TV, at the Mexican Fiesta, at the Shawnee County Fair, in the Mexican Fiesta & St. Patrick’s Day Parades, at West Ridge Mall, for the Air Combat Museum, on TV for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon…This is a time to do what we usually do not do: model evening gowns or party dresses, model casual wear, & demonstrate great oratory skills in interview. We wanted to have a pageant where girls did not “compete” against each other because grace and beauty are so subjective; as long as each student does each phase of competition they will ALL be honored & given awards & presented BEAUTIFUL, LARGE, LARGE 2’ TROPHIES!!!!!

I WILL HELP YOU ON WHAT TO WEAR!!!!!
