Cailtyn's Pageant Diaries: American Co-Ed

August 5, 2011

Dear Diary,

Well, here we are at the Marriott Hotel in Whippany, NJ for the American Co-Ed Pageant. I just finished my registration and now I'm dipping my feet in the pool.

This is my first State Pageant and I am so excited!! There are a few girls here already and they seem to be really nice. After registration, there is Orientation, workshops and then lunch (My favorite).
In the evening, we had Production Rehearsals and dinner.

On Saturday, we had the Interview with the Judges. That was a little scary. We had to wear an interview suite just like if you were going on a real job interview. Your clothes, shoes and hair had to be appropriate for an interview. If not the judges would take points off. Pants were not allowed!

Once we entered the Interview Room, we had to introduce ourselves and meet one-on-one with all the judges. The judges were really friendly as asked questions like; What was your favorite color, subject and who is your hero? There were five judges in all.

Here I am after the interview was over.

Now it was time to relax, have dinner with the family and go to the pink party!!

At the pink party, they had the awards for the Optional contest. I only entered in the photogenic contest. After the awards, they had music and the girls dance the night away.

Here are some pictures with my family.
