Miss Russet



(I look like crap in this picture, but it is the only one!)
I was able to be a host for Miss Russet this year. Although I was a little hesitant it was all with it and fun in the end. I didn't get very many pictures because seriously it was the CRAZIEST night! My girl was Marci Haney and she has thick, VERY LONG, dark hair, it took two hours before the pageant to curl it! For her opening number we put it all curly in a side pony, then for physical fitness we put it up in a high pony, then for her talent (singing) she had it all down and then all up for the end. It was so crazy because there was not very much time in between performances to get everything done, but we somehow made it. Oh, to top it all off I had to do her makeup!! AHHH I have no idea how to do makeup let alone stage makeup! Anyway, in the end Marci did great, she got 3rd runner up and Miss Congeniality! WOO HOO! Way to go Marci!

Here is all of Marci's hair up for the end, we did this in like 15 minutes! It was crazy, so glad it all worked out. Funny thing, all of the contestants had makeup artists, beauticians and then their hostess helping them with everything else. Well, it was just me and Marci! In the end the beautician that was doing the girls hair next to us said "so do you have a salon out of your house?" I almost died! (why? my friends out there that know I love the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous will understand why her asking me that was so funny) hahahahah! I started laughing, but it made me feel better because the whole night I had no idea what I was doing, but no one else knew that!! HA!

oh my gosh! i laughed SO hard!!! I'm also SO SO glad that I ended up NOT doing Miss Russet! Sounds stressful and hectic. I love what you did to her hair-and in 15 min? That's pretty good! So, when are you opening your salon in your house? Ha Ha! :)

Wow, how fun!! You did a great job on her hair and makeup!!! She's way cute! This reminds me of when I judged for a Junior Miss Pageant a couple of years ago. It was really hard because all the girls were so cute and talented, I didn't want to have to pick a favorite!!

You are awesome! Maybe you should have a salon in your house. I don't really think it is fair that you have EVERY talent though!! For real girl, you are making the rest of us look bad!

I hope you are feeling better today!! Let me know if I can help out!

haha, I love your story! I kind of want to be hostess now, except that, well, I would have no idea what to do. Let's be honest, I am not really a pageant kind of girl...
