Hello again gals...thank all of you for your patience.
Mrs contestants...if you have not gotten them already, I have the scores and comments and will email all the info to you in the next few days. I have had to do my state queens first, to prepare them for nationals, and that has taken about an hour per queen each night this week. I am working hard on working with them on wardrobe ideas, phots and overall preparation. I am also still working full time until April 1st, about 50hrs a week. After that, we will start accepting 2006 contestants and making plans for next year including confirming a date ASAP.
We have decided to stay with the host hotel. Everyone seems to like it. I am going to book 20 rooms instead though at least.
Those of you who have had suggestions, I have read them and will carefully work on ones we can incorporate into next year. The backdrop on the stage was my fault, I didn't realize until that morning the service doors would be behind the reversed layout! Honest mistake. Hubby and I are considering building pipe/drape to use next year to dress up the stage...I know it needs work and we're going to continue to make things bigger and better to showcase our VA girls! Texas has about a 7 year lead on us but we'll catch up. :)
Just a word to everyone, if you have a question to me on what judges said, or what my opinion is, I will give my best effort to help you. But ultimately YOU are the one who must feel confident and believe in your own presentation. Our judges were very good about pointing out room for improvement but my suggestions, or theirs, are NOT the ONLY right way out there!
Don't feel if you don't win that you *must* change everything. Neither I nor they can tell you the magic formula. If I knew it, I'd have won every pageant I ever entered in the past 5 years! No one does that. Sometimes it's not anything you have done---different judges, different result. I lost for years before I started placing, and now winning, and it took that time to sort through the judge's comments and my OWN sense of who I was to come up with the right combination.
I don't play favorites....I want to see ALL my girls win. If not Galaxy, somewhere else down the line in another pageant. I am happy to help you with publicity, concerns or just general pageant questions. My job is to help our girls develop, both local and state queens, and to give a fair opportunity for each woman to win.
In the end, it is the *judges* who choose amongst you which woman that will wear the crown representing the goal you have all strived for. I am very proud of their choices but next year we will have new judges with new outlooks....and you will have a new journey, quite possibly with a better result, to becoming that winner.
Good luck ladies in your pageants....to Jennifer and Ashlee at Fredericksburg USA! See you soon.
