More wedding dresses... sigh.....

(One gorgeous Mia Solono Dress, felt like a princess!)

I should just hurry up and get married so I can wear my very own wedding dress as I seem to spend alot of time in wedding dresses! At least when the time is right I shall know which dress actually suits me. But then, they are all gorgeous!! So why was I randomly taking photo of myself in wedding dresses? Well let me tell you!

(With Jenny from Prettymaids)
It was Mia Solono's Designer Day at Rachel's Wedding's and as a international finalist for Face of the Globe I was asked to model for the day to potential brides. Rachel's Wedding's are also my dress sponsor for the finals so I was honoured to help! I had my hair done at V.I.P's in a lovely updo with one of the tiaras on sale, and slipped into, well more like strapped into, a wonderful Mia Solono gown! There was a butler in the bare greeting brides and it was lovely to see mothers and daughters trying on dresses and finding "the one". If you ever need a wedding dress, check out the amazing mia solono dresses which I have modeled before and loved, and go to Rachel's Wedding's in Faringdon!! www.rachelsweddings.org

(Snapshots of the day)
It seems now my weekends are free slightly whilst I plan for my fundrasier event, still thinking of ideas!! I also still need sponsorship if anyone is willing to donate! I've been very busy with my persona training course at T2 Fitness which has been amazing! Something I love doing more than pageants! But of course, pageants will have a strong influence in my training! I can not wait! Thank you for reading! I'll leave you with a snapshot from instagram (yes i have joined! follow me @hannahbarbieg if you like!!)

The colours of the rainbow! Pride!

(Swindon Pride- Reunion of the Wiltshire Beauty Queens)

When you see a 50ft rainbow flag marching through Old Town in Swindon, you know it is time for Swindon Pride! One of THEE best events held in Swindon, it promotes gay, bi, tran rights, where diversity is celebrated and you can dress as extravagant as you want! If you think walking in a crown and sash sometimes you feel overdressed, we were underdressed! There were so many floats and drag queens, some with better legs than me, envy! And the sparkles! Pageant girls dream! 

(Holding the 50ft flag)
I nearly didnt make it to the parade, my dress got caught in my bike and ripped, needing some last minute changes (that's where the bow came from!) and as i arrived they had left! But i found them, tottering in my rainbow heels whilst people are giving me strange looks! 
(Dancing at Pride)
We finished the walk and had our feet photographed :s Then went in to enjoy the day! It was myself, Georgia (Miss Charity Heart) and Ela (Miss Swindon 2012). It's my third year at Pride, and the second in the parade. It's also a very special event as it was the first event all us wiltshire beauty queens met together and marched together! It's great to come back a year later and see all the changes! Georgia has a national title now, and another baby on the way plus Ela made the finals of Miss England this year and rocked her finals dress! Myself, I am now an international finalist and get to compete in the Face of the Globe finals in DISNEYLAND! We have achieved so much over the past year, been on so many adventures and made such a difference to each other's lives! I will always count them as my best friends, and this is why pageants are such a great activity to particapte in. 
(Bucking Broncho WKD Style)
There was live music all day, which Georgia's mum was singing on the community stage so we had a boogie! Then we got papped and people taking their pictures with us, it was so funny! We had these amazing milkshakes and then the free sexual health tests. It's important to keep yourself safe and check, plus we got free sunglasses! There was so much to do for the whole family, we loved this bucking broncho in the form of a WKD bottle! I managed to stay on for a while, quite proud! The sun was shining, music was playing, perfect saturday!!

(Swindon Pride, Old Town Gardens)
I am still looking for sponsorship for face of the globe to compete in the international finals, if anyone would like to help please message my fb page which the details will be below. Next on the beauty pageant agenda will be modelling at Rachel's Wedding's in Faringdon for the Sample Designer day for Mia Solono. A fab dress company which i have modelled dresses before. I will be showing potential buyers how the dress looks, and modelling with the new Miss Swindon 13 Jade. Detials can be found on www.rachelsweddings.org

You may kiss the bride.....

(Wearing one of Rachel's Wedding's Dresses)

When I was a little girl I used to wear my mum's wedding dresses (yes there was more than one), even using one in a play where I played a princess in a Chinese legend. I love swanning around in the beautiful dresses and for being a pageant queen, I get to do it too much! When I actually get married people are going to yawn at the pictures as me in a wedding dress is old news! This time it was part of a photoshoot with the beautiful Miss Swindon 2013 Jade, and we were actually modeling for The Menzies Hotel Wedding Brochure, with our male models! Actually having to get married!! We had our make up done and styled, dresses supplied by Rachel's Wedding's (www.rachelsweddings.org) and suits by Jensons.

(Me and the dashing Alex in traditional Scottish Wedding wear)
It was such great fun modelling with a partner! I modeled with this hot model Alex, who is the least bit Scottish and straight up Queens's English posh. We had to do traditional poses, as well as cutting the cake, the first dance and the top table! Of course we got some great funny shots with pulling some great facial expressions as well as use of the props! The photographer said we acted like an old married couple! It was great to shot with Alex, especially as he leaves for America this Friday. So it was nice to have a wedding at last! Even if this one isnt real! We also had pictures in the lift, as well as downstairs. Then Alex cheated on me with Jade getting married in the bar whilst I was the bridesmaid. Such a great day! 

(Always room for a out take! Lift style!)
Always a great day shooting, I will also be modeling wedding dresses at Rachel's Wedding's sample day on the 17th August with Jade. Already seen the stunning dress which shall be mine! Alex, want to marry me for real?!! ;) Also it's pride this Saturday! Another chance to wear my rainbow outfit, and catch up with my fav pageant queen Georgia as well as Jade. Swindon and Wiltshire Pride will be happening in the Old Town Gardens, Swindon so make sure if you are around to check it out!! Last year it was the first time Wiltshire Beauty Queens all met, like our anniversary!!
