| Beauty Pageant |
| 02.08.04 (10:20 am) [edit] |
People often ask me how I end up doing the things I do. Frankly, I'm not quite sure. My latest venture: I'm the Executive Producer of a beauty pageant.
Yes, yes, I know this sounds like a typical 21 year old's fabrication to allow countless 17-24 year old women parade around in bikinis, but nay, good reader. I was legitimately asked to do this.
Perhaps I should explain...Through some local political connections, I got somewhat involved with the planning of a multi-county old country fair. I was mostly asked to be involved because of my connections with the alt-country/new folk music set, and my recent work in local government planning. Then the fair director, Liz, had an epiphany. Instead of just crowning a fair princess and having that be the end of it, perhaps this should be a Miss Tennessee pageant Preliminary! In other words, whoever we crown on pageant night will become a candidate for the Miss Tennessee pageant. If she wins there, she competes for Miss America.
Hmmm...Naturally, being a red-blooded American male, this grabbed my attention. I said I would help out. The work load increased, and my role kept changing as others were unable to perform their duties. Eventually, sometime last Friday morning, I became in charge of the pageant.
Last night I attended the Miss Knoxville pageant as a special guest in order to get a handle on how exactly a pageant works. This was their 51st time through it, so they have had a chance to work out some bugs. It was a very nice pageant, full of stunning women and decent entertainment. I got to learn some of what will be expected of me by doing this, including traveling with the winner to the Miss Tennessee competition. I'm going to also get certified as a pageant judge for Tennessee and a few surrounding states. Sounds time consuming, but fun.
Three things stood out in my mind when I entered this unfamiliar world of beauty pageants: 1.) There are a lot of gay men here. 2.) This pageant thing is its own little subculture. 3.) Gosh, these women are gorgeous.
So there you have it...My latest venture. Troubletown has been asked to sponsor the event's entertainment, and I need to see how that will work out. I am but once voice among four. Stay tuned for updates...
