Luckily for the ladies in my dressing room, my best friend came to help me, then jumped in to do hair and makeup for others. There was a great pooling of resources in our messy dressing room with none of the cattiness portrayed in the media. We loaned hair pins, jewehy and dresses. The beautiful gown I wore for the evening wear section of the pageant was borrowed from another woman who hadn't worn it yet. We may have been competing for the title of but I didn't feel like we were against each other. There were 20 contestants and I didn't get to know everyone that well, but there is still a bond there. The actual pageant was a fest of high energy and nerves. My hastily spray painted shoes betrayed me during the opening number. When I pivoted, my shoe stuck long enough to make me wobble. My aching and blistered feet made hula dancing less than pleasant during my talent performance. I made it through my evening wear walk without incident, and then I was asked my onstage question, "What is the most important quality in a DQueen: attractive, intelligent, funny or relatable?" All I could think to answer was, "I don't see why she can't be all those things."

But that isn't , 1- 4- ... strictly true. -- -- , For one thing, I met some excellent women and made new friends. I challenged myself to try something that terrified me and shared my experiences. My family and friends turned out to cheer for me as I pranced around on stage, which isn't an experience I have had before.
