A Weekend of Pageants
Jan 20 2006

Seeing as my Treo calendar tells me that I’m supposed to be on Day #4 of London today… I pretty much can do whatever I want. [For those not in the know, see this post]

That said… what the heck do I do now?

Well, it looks like it could be a weekend of pageants. Yes, pageants.

Those who know me best can tell you that when it comes to pageants, I can hold my own… a little too well, actually. Yes, I’m dang good when it comes to pageants. A quick glance and an introductory speech and I’ll give you the top 10, top 5, and your winner, with a 90% success rate. (Considering the off-stage interview counts for half the final score… I’d say 90% is pretty good.)

Mom is judging the Miss UAB pageant on Friday night. Not to mention the fact that it is being put on by WHS alum Bailey Brigham [facebook]. So, that looks to possibly fill the slot for Friday.

As for Saturday, it’s the Miss America pageant, live from Las Vegas on CMT. All 52 (not 50) strutting their stuiff form the middle of the desert.

Don’t look for Miss Alabama Alexa Jones to pull it off. Why? Deidre Downs won last year… she was Miss Alabama as well. You can’t win back-to-back states unless you’re deaf mute or something.

The long-shots?
Nikki Grandpre, Miss South Dakota.
Allison Bourne-Vanneck, Miss Virgin Islands.

Who do I like to make Top 5 (in no particular order)?
Miss Utah
Miss Arkansas
Miss Mississippi
Miss Rhode Island
Miss Oklahoma

We’ll wait and see. If nothing else comes up this weekend, I’ll take Saturday night to do some marketing research while watching the pageant. if this happends, I’ll post my predictions on the blog in real-time.

Wow. That’s sad.
