Hello ladies! More and more are arriving as the deadline nears. I am hoping to have 20 this year...let's keep our fingers crossed!
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
1.) Should I wear a 1pc or a 2pc?
ANSWER: I will be 100% honest here. If you have the body to get away with a 2pc, then you probably should wear one if you feel confident in it. The judges are not instructed to score higher either way, but experience at nationals has shown, esp with Miss and Teen, 2pc swimsuit often score higher. For Mrs I do not think this is as important. However, that being said, if you have great legs and a less than tight midsection, you may look more competitive in a 1pc and actually score higher. It all depends on your fitness level, comfort level, and division. Judges are honestly more likely to look for a 1pc on a Mrs at 34 with 2 kids than with a Teen who is 16 without that offset.
2.) What qualifies me to compete in VA?
ANSWER: As listed on the Requirements page, owning property, residing, attending school or working in VA OR DC will qualify you. I have been honest up front about this. You must qualify, however once you do, you do. Appearances will be expected of whoever wins, on behalf of a Virginia title.
3.) What kind of Fashion should I wear?
ANSWER: Think RAVE, CACHE, H&M, BODY CENTRAL....cute and trendy, flowing and feminine. Short is ok, we know it's not summertime but it's an indoor pageant. We will not have the judges take off for what might otherwise be considered sexy, even on teens HOWEVER do not pick something provacative. One is pretty and flirty and the other is inappropriate. Fit and figure will be considered, meaning if you are a little larger don't wear a miniskirt with boots and a belly shirt. But no matter how good your figure is, use good taste! If you do not know the difference or are questioning an outfits appropriateness, please email me and I will explain to prevent you losing points!
4.) Can I wear hose with the swimsuit?
ANSWER: You can. Some judges however do not like hose. I leave this up to their individual taste because you will find at nationals it is the same way. Most do not wear hose however. Sally Hensen makes a spray on leg tan that hides everything under the sun. Just remove before gown time.
5.) What kind of shoes do you recommend with gown?
ANSWER: Clear ones are always good. French pedicures on the toes do really well when your toes are sticking out from the acrylic shoes. You can do one at home.
If you have other questions, please post here! I'll try to answer all I can within reason, about every 2nd day or so. Good luck!
