Oh, pageants…Sigh. The good, the bad and the ugly of pageants! haha. I think pageants are a great way to get out of ones comfort zone, meet new people, learn about oneself, discover passions, connect with other passionate women, promote what you stand for and it can be a great experience. And I love that you don’t have to be single to compete in one. If you are a married woman and always wanted to do a pageant and just never got the chance check out your local Mrs. Pageants. I’m from Utah so below are the Mrs. Utah Pageant promotional videos.
I did the pageant last year and am definitely glad I did it. My platform was “Revealing Radiance in Women” and is one of the reasons I started this blog and is exactly were the name radiantwomen.wordpress.com came from. I am actually in the videos a couple of times. The only obvious one of me is in my swimsuit! So, look for me. I can’t believe I’m saying “look for me in my swimsuit.” But, I am. I actually think I look good. Hooray! Hooray that I can acknowledge it when I feel that way! The opposite is true too. Hooray that I can be ok with not feeling ok about my body! haha.
The videos really sheds light on what the experience can be like and shows more of the authentic side and the more positive side. This pageant was actually a couple of weeks ago.
The bottom video is a shorter version of the first video.
