I wound up wearing mine to my prom. It was a Gunne Sax. :)

No bathing suit section in Junior Miss. However there is a fitness portion where you are basically wearing a bathing suit (leotard) and doing a cheesy fitness/dance routine.

I was in my high school pageant all 4 years and in Miss Octoberfest once. I got finalist twice in the h.s. pageant. I did a ton of pageants with my baton twirling only you call it modeling. And you just compete in your evening wear with other girls your age. Its not even on a stage but several competitions are going on at once. Just the t-shaped modeling

i couldn't resist...
 

My dog, Peaches, is in our town's Dog Show (pageant) every summer. She is a 5 time (consecutive) winner of the highly esteemed
Ugliest Dog award. We are very proud of her!!!:)
The really sad thing is--alot of people in town know my husband and I as "Peaches Mom and Dad"


-wendi and as for me, no pageants.

It is amazing to see how many people out here have done a pageant. You would think I would have out grown them but no I love doing the beauty pageants and pro-aming on stage! I love the Miss America system also but sometimes it is fun to get a glitzed up and do a nice beauty pageant. Good luck to all those who may have a pageant coming up! :D

My wife is a former Miss Deaf Colorado and Miss Deaf America contestant.

So, as hard as it is for any of you to believe...LXAAlum is married to a beauty queen! :p

What exactly is pro-am? Is it just basically a modeling competition?

I think pro-am is modeling to music. It's like a cross between modelling and dance, cuz each move/pose sort of flows into the next (I saw a documentary on TV about pageants and that's how I learned that term!)

I competed in Mr. Hermitage for HS seinor yer

awww, i did jr miss my sr year....SOO much fun!

my sister was jr miss the year b/4 i was in it....1998 fayette co...she shoulda won state, but that's besides the point... ;)

I live in a small suburb of Cleveland that has the Miss Seven Hills competition each year at Home Days. My best friend's sister was looking for girls to be in the pagent b/c no one had signed up to do it. I felt bad, so i agreed to do it. Well, the day of there were 8 other girls who really wanted to be Miss Seven Hills. I ended up doing it, made a fool of myself, but had a good time. But alas, no crown for me :p

are you serious? damn. make sure you let me hit if you win, i'd like to add miss ohio to my list.

anyways, i was in a pageant for kids when i was like 5. i got sexiest baby or something. i wore a crown and a cape. it was so gay.

my mom made me do it.

maybe it was 'cutest baby'? i think 'sexiest baby' sounds kinda creepy

Last year I was in my town's local pagent. It was so much fun, no crown, but made a ton of friends and had a blast doing it.
