I FELL! (pageant results)
So I am the person that no one wants to be - the one who falls down in a pageant - in swimsuit no less! I did not fall down on my butt - but it was close. I managed to pull off 3rd runner-up and the Community Involvement and Directors' Awards. The Directors' Award is a good one because it means you have potential to win with a little more polish/practice. I was hoping to place higher but there were some girls with a lot of experience and of course I FELL in swimsuit
 . The crowd was great when I fell though - lots of cheering - and several people (besides my family) told me I had the best on-stage interview. If you want to see photos you can go to fleshmanphotography.com. And yes - that is me WITH a tan .So thank you for your positive thoughts and wishes - I definitely have the pageant bug & will try again whenever it works for my family. Thanks!

You know what, Lisa? If I could look like you do in a bathing suit, I'd volunteer to enter pageants where falling was a REQUIREMENT.
Congratulations to you!

Falling in the swimsuit - that would definitely be something I would do too! But, unlike me, you must have totally wow-ed everyone to do so well. Congrats!!
