Let’s start with a little background.
I am a fan of the pageant hair. I should have grown up in Texas, because I would have for sure fit in. I am a fan of pageant hair probably because I idolized Miss America and wanted to be her. Here are some pics from the Miss National Peanut Festival Pageant circa 1998. I was 18. Don’t laugh. And I don't so much want to be Miss America anymore, just so you know.
I was also the tallest girl in the pageant. So, I was in lots of pageants, and let's just be honest, I lost most of them. But along the way I learned the glorious art of teasing. I can make anyone’s hair look 10 times thicker and fuller. I am better than Vidal Sassoon. And Ken Paves.
Just ask Sarah Katherine.
She is my 16-year-old friend who participated in the Dogwood Trail Maid program last weekend, which I have come to learn shares the same hype as the good old NPF. It is a big deal in Baldwin County. And here is what she looked like after leaving Em's Glorious House O' Hair on her way to the pageant.
I did her makeup too.Looks good, huh?
And she won.
I’m pretty sure it had something to do with her hair.
And here is Carolyn, who won last year. Oh yes, I helped her too.
I am 2 for 2, people.
And she won.

Though you performed your magic, dare I say it, eight years later, you can claim former Mobile Azalea Trail Queen Jill Puckett Aldridge (1998-99), on her wedding day. I'm happy to donate pictures to your House O' Hair brochure. You did a fine job.

ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the brown furry suit you wore in the PF pageant. I tried it on for homecoming court my junior year, but I think the sleeves were too short. I remember thinking it was soooo pretty!
