way-back wednesday

gone are my days as a pageant contestant, 

but in honor of way-back wednesday, 

i thought i might add a laugh to your day!

summer 1991

i truly loved the pageant circuit -- getting to meet new people, travel, 

attend luncheons, give speeches, the clothes... 

i really had a great time, learned a lot and enjoyed the competition.

the contestants summer 1991
don't you just love all the big hair?
clearly i was inspired by the Pretty Woman polka-dot dress!

but the pageant is a flavor of the south that many of my northern friends just don't get...and i cannot even begin to convince mr prep 

that muffy should enter.

it's fun to re-live the memories, i promise to post more photos from my pageant days, but these were the photos i had handy today!
