If you’ve ever watched Toddlers & Tiaras you’ve heard them refer to stage presence (well the great kind) as sparkling. I’ve had a marathon on in the background for the better part of this afternoon and night 1. I think I’ve been brain washed. Do you think Alexa would SPARKLE?
Peter and I have joked about entering her into a pageant. My father taught her the “Queen Wave” when she was learning to gesture hello and goodbye. He meant the Queen, as in like…Queen Elizabeth…not a beauty queen. One day while my half-sister was visiting 2, she started talking about T&T and said we should put Alexa in a pageant. HA! I then quipped back that she’d need a spray-tan, a flipper, and some hair pieces. Apparently my sis thought I was serious and got all huffy that I “better not”! 3
Fast forward to today, where you’ll find me Googling NJ based competitions for shits and giggles. Low and behold, I found one that’s being held this October. Yes, I’m actually considering entering, because I’m a loser and need a new hobby. Come on, she’s freakin’ adorable 
They have a “Natural” pageant the first day, and a “Glitz” the second. OK OK, I’m not actually crazy, I wouldn’t do Glitz where you have to primp and prod your poor kid. But hey, Natural sounds pretty benign. Right?
I think it would be fun to do once, but do I want to become a scary pageant mom? NOOOOOO! So ummmm, yay or nay?
- Is it weird that I’m starting to see repeats of ones I’ve seen already? Is that more sad? ↩
- Who is super annoying and always has to have the last word. ↩
- She also wasn’t pleased when I joked that I would bf till Alexa was 6, yeah…told me she would “beat me” if I was “one of those moms”. She’s fun! ↩
