BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Creativity Pageant Question

My daughter is about to be in her 1st pageant at school.

They sent home a list of questions that they will be using for the interview portion.

Most of them made complete sense: "What role could you play in helping the elderly?" "What part of your future do you think education plays?"

And then we get the imaginative question. I thought it was so funny, I wanted to see how everybody here would answer it. (Promise dd won't use anyone's answers.)



I said I would be a diet coke, because I drink so much of it, I figure my blood is 1/2 DC anyway!

Good thing the questions are sent home in advance to give the girls a chance to think about them because I don't know that I would be able to come up with something on the spot while standing on stage, particularly "that" question. But young people have quicker minds (ha ha). In answering the question...

If I were a soda pop, I would be a Vernors because I could settle lots of people's stomachs when they are feeling ill and it's my goal in life to help people in any capacity I can.

Oh geez. It would have been better if they had asked "What animal" or "What tree" in my opinion. "Pop" is just too limited!

I'd refuse to answer if that were me, based on its ridiculousness. (And yeah, I would have probably said that as a youth. LOL!)

Well, they actually did the interview portion in the rehearsal yesterday (the full pageant is next week).

And guess which question Jordan got?!

She answered that she would be a cherry coke, because it is sweet with a little bit of something different to give it extra personality. I was actually kind of proud of her for that one!

Way to go Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK - here's me bragging again!

Jordan didn't place, she got a terrible case of stage fright and kind of tried to hide in her dress when it was her turn to be on stage, lOl. But she was absolutely beautiful. Of course I am a little biased. (Can y'all believe she's only 11?!?)

She is tall for 11 and obviously very beautiful. Brag away Michelle! If I had a daughter this beautiful, I would be bragging too.

In terms of Soda Pop, I think I like to be 7-UP. It's comforting, and usually takes away people's stomach aches. It makes me feel good when I can help.

Michelle, I can't believe Jordan is only 11! She is so tall and statuesque I guess as they say in the pageant world. Her dress makes her look like she's old enough to be going off to a high school prom along with the face of an angel. Mom's probably think, "Non so fast!" - right? Got plenty of time for growing up in the years to come. What a lovely little girl you have. You must be very proud. Thank you for sharing her picture and please tell Jordan she a "Super Star" on the Creativity Forum.

She is gorgeous. I would brag too! What a lovely dress. Is this the same daughter that shaved off her eyebrows?

Yes! We actually went to Ulta to get her eyebrows waxed professionally for this, because she is very sensitive about the uni-brow thing (they get it naturally - I have it, so does my brother and my son). And the woman at the makeup counter remembered her from that time. She goes, "I am so glad to see you are letting US do it this time" LOL!

When we went shopping for her dress, Jordan really wanted a blue one - because that's her favorite color. So the sales woman brought out about 5 different blue dresses for her to try on. They were all lovely. But then she goes, "I know you want blue - but just humor me for a minute. I have a dress I want her to try." Then she brought out the lime green dress, it was very pretty on the hanger, but when Jordan put it on I was like - "OK - we've found it!"

I will definitely go back to that dress shop again - they really know what they are doing. Several girls in the pageant had dresses from them. They made sure that no-one in the pageant had anything that looked alike, and every dress suited each girl perfectly. It is called "Girly-Girl Boutique" in Buford, GA.

And thank you all for saying such sweet things about her. I know I was fishing for compliments, but it is nice to hear that I'm not just being a biased mom.
