Miss Louisiana Pageant Pictures


I just wanted to post a few pictures from the pageant. I wanted you all to see what we were up to the past 3 days. We were knee deep in "wardrobe changes", makeup, hair, glitter and racing from one place to the next. My Mom made a joke that we have to eat while we are on the potty, because there is only time to do one or the other..it was an absolute accurate statement. One morning, we had breakfast at 9 AM and we didn't get to eat again until 5:30 PM.
The picture above was taken at the "Pretty Pretty Princess" Party, where the girls were sworn into the Miss America pageant system. They had to agree to do community service, respect their position during their year of service as a Fleur Des Lis Princess, and they had to promise to be good girls for their Mommies and Daddy's. The girls contestants gave them a makeover, surprised them with gifts and each Princess got to go around the room and get all of the contestants autographs. It was such a cute party.

This is the routine that the Fleur Des Lis Princesses performed with the reigning Queen, Miss Louisiana Most Outstanding Teen.






Victoria made it to the TOP 5! Not an easy task for a National pageant, running against very experienced competitors and this being her 2nd pageant, EVER. She did a truly amazing job. I am especially proud of Victoria because she was being both silly, elegant and completely HERSELF on stage....a wonderful role model for younger girls.

We are so proud of her and although we are exhausted, we had an amazing time!
