Fair Dates...so far!

These are what I have so far. These are only what she has so far, like Angela and I have told you before...just plan on there 24/7 for the week of the fair. That way you won't miss anything. Even if there isn't something specifically set, if you are in the royalty you are contracted to be to the fair looking cute...it really is fun! (Unless specified, the whole royalty is to be there) They usually have you either judge or run many of the events. They will either send me a list of instructions for whatever event, or she'll have the instructions along with everything already set up there. All you ever have to worry about is showing.)

Reminders...

I will be leaving out of town Monday, July 27th at 1 pm. If you would like to come and get your dress BEFORE the fun run on Saturday, you need to call me before I leave. I would recommend this in case it needs adjusting.

DON'T forget the fun run on saturday morning, 8:30 am. This is not negotiable. You cannot participate in the pageant if you have not raised $100. If you are not there, I will assume that you are bringing me $100 to the 1st pageant week rehearsal (thursday, August 13th) that your mom, dad, or Aunty Em "donated". And just to remind you that whoever raises the most money gets $100 straight cash. Your money is DUE on that thursday. No exceptions.

The production number HAS to be LEARNED, MEMORIZED, and READY TO PERFORM on thursday. This year has the potential of being amazing production wise and you will stand out in a not good way if you are not memorized. Does that mean you need to be the best dancer, no. But there is a big difference between not being a good dancer and OBVIOUSLY not knowing the routine.

Please make sure if you are needing anything...ANYTHING that you let Angela or I know. We are here to help. We are here to run modeling, the production number, interviews, your talents, make up ideas, hair ideas, whatever it is you are stressing about, let us know and help you. BUT you need to make sure we are aware of it BEFORE the week of the pageant so that we are able to help adequately.

I want you girls to know that I am so proud of you. I can't speak for Angela, but I can tell you for myself that you girls light up my life and give me an outlet that allows me to enjoy my own. I appreciate your willingness to step outside your box and comfort zone so that others can watch you shine. I wish you all could see what I see in you and I hope that this is a good enough experience so that whatever the outcome you come back next year and play with me again! I was a little unsure of doing this a few years ago. Not sure if I was in a position to do something like this, but I am so thankful I did....I'm so thankful I have the blessing of getting to know girls like you every year and enjoy every minute of it! Thanks to Erika and Angela who make it easy to enjoy it! I love all of you!

GOOD JOB IN THE PARADE!

I'm sure you're thinking, "how hard is it to wave and look pretty, right?" But I was glad all of you were on time and thank you to Aimee, Jacey, and Bri for helping me in the morning...much appreciated. If your family took any cute pictures, send them to me and I'll post them here.

I HAVE YOUR DRESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION NUMBER AT MY HOUSE....call me, and let me know when you want to come get them. I am leaving out of town on monday and will be till friday night. I would highly recommend calling me BEFORE I leave so that if alterations are necessary we will know way ahead of time. So call.

Thanks again girls, much appreciated. Don't forget the FUN RUN on Saturday at 8:30 am...You have to be there and have your sponsors done. Please make sure you have it taken care of. We will see you saturday!

I'm excited to announce girls that Emily Clarke who created Winkfotos has let us know that she will be the official sponsor for Miss Iron County...meaning whoever wins she will be donating your session and the picture that will be in the Miss Utah magazine and more than likely all over town. If you are not familiar with Emily, here are some examples of her work...obviously most of them are of my family since I only have those on my computer. But they are so good







PS...

You can ask questions in the comment box, I check it every day. That way you don't have to email me and maybe someo fthe other girls have the same question.

Parade--Line up at 9:30 am

I will have your shirts anytime after 12 noon tomarrow...if you want to wear some sort of cami or tank top under your shirt you can change at the parade if you don't get a chance to get it from me before hand.

-Line up is 400 East and Main, theres a church right there that will give you the information of where you're lining up. Or you can call my cell and I can give you the exact spot of where we're lining up.

-9:30 PROMPT. They always tell you to be there at like an hour before, I won't make you do that, I won't be there that early because you COOK in the sun...BUT the only way we can get away with showing up late is if everyone is on time...so please be there right at 9:30.

-My father in law is running for mayor and has asked all of his kids and grandkids to be in there parade with him...that means you girls will be on your own. Please listen to Erika if she asks you to do something or be somewhere. I will meet you at the end of the parade. I'll be there to line up, but then I'll need to go with my husband and kids.

-if you have any questions you are welcome to call me, again you are welcome to come get your shirts, otherwise I'll see you on Friday at 9:30 am

FYI about Bronzing for you girls...

HOW TO USE BRONZER
BY LAURA HIGBEE

· If you have a light complexion, use sheer bronzers with pinkish or peach shimmer. Avoid bronzers that are too brown, as they can make your skin seem muddy or dirty.
· If you have a medium skin tone, you are very lucky and can probably use any bronzer. The best shades for you, however, would be gold or brown with a tiny bit of orange.
· As for dark-skinned ladies, brownish-red bronzers look the most flattering on you.
Apply bronzer where the sun naturally hits, such as the tops of your arms, shoulders, chest, and on the face- temples of the forehead, bridge of the nose, chin and cheekbones.
Cleavage- Sweep a line of bronzer between breasts to create a shadow (the shadow that naturally occurs when you have cleavage). Be sure to blend bronzer.

Abs- Take some bronzer and go along your natural oblique curves on the sides, not too dark though, just like shadowing on a picture, then follow the natural center ab cut with an even lighter bronzer stroke or shade, then lightly go across if you want the full pack but it will look less fake if you just do the sides.

Sculpt your leg muscles by putting bronzer right where the calf muscle starts.


TIPS

· A wide and fluffy powder brush will work best.
· Ideally you should never choose a bronzer that is more than 2 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
· Always make sure you blend the bronzer in well.
· If you have really dark skin, you can try creating cleavage by using a shimmery highlighter that is two shades lighter than your complexion.
· Don’t over do it.
· Bronzer should enhance your natural beauty, not dominate your complexion.


BRONZER VS BLUSH

Blush is reserved for the apples of the cheeks. To find the apples of your cheeks look in a mirror and smile. Use gentle, sweeping motions starting at the center of your apple, and move up and outwards towards the corner of your eye and up to the temple. Blush is ideal for brightening up pale/fair skin. Bronzer creates a sun kissed complexion and unlike blush, it isn’t restricted to just the cheeks.

CMN

This was in the email that the state sent me a coup[le of years ago when they started the whole CMN thing....

This really is a simple process. When a contestant registers, she can immediately send e-mails to all of her contacts explaining what she is doing for the Children's Miracle Network. If only 20 people give $5, she is done. It really is a very obtainable goal and we, as a State, are very excited about this partnership. Click on this site and follow the instructions from there. http://www.missamerica4kids.org/

Thanks Hailey for asking, I'm sending this to all the girls in case they are confused as well....

Here's the video girls...

-Please make sure that it is LEARNED before next workshop so that we can clean it up. If you are struggling or need help please let Angela or I know, I'm sure you could get together with one or more of the other girls. For those of you "non-dancers" (like me) it might make it LOTS easier to learn if you speak it while you do it. You'll feel like an idiot but it'll help you learn it better and faster.
-Please don't forget to email me your bios...thank you Kristin!!! Thank you for doing it right away.
