Pageant Survival Guide

Monday, 02 May 2011 13:18
Believe it or not, it’s pageant season again. This weekend, the first Miss of the summer will be crowned in New Hampshire. With that in mind, I thought I would put together a survival guide for state pageants – whether you are Miss or OT, these are things you want to have with you for your big pageant moment. Feel free to comment and add your own suggestions, too, please!

*Portable rolling rack to keep your clothes organized and wrinkle free in the theatre or your room.

*More hairspray than you will think you need.

*Clear nail polish – it can fix a number of problems.

*Granola bars and vitamins to keep your energy up

*Extra pillow

*A back-up outfit, because you just never know

*Band-Aids and antibiotic ointment

*Advil or other headache remedies

*Tanning spray or lotion for touch-ups

*Razors

*Lint brush

*Mints/hard candy

*Something to remind you of home

*iPod or other source of music

*Big comfy hoodie or sweater to wear during rehearsals or downtime

What else do you think a titleholder needs to survive the state pageant?
