The Big Pageant Weekend!! Miss Wiltshire bootcamp and finals

(The bootcamp contestants in their Kiss Gym tops!)

So the weekend had finally arrived, all those months of planning, getting excited and finding new dresses had come to this. A new breed of pageant girls awaited to challenge themselves in the Miss Wiltshire finals where we would find two new girls to join the Wiltshire Beauty Queens and take the title to new heights! First of all, it was bootcamp day. I had a few tricks up my sleeves for the girls, who all looked calm and excited for all the exercise! Ha! They regretted that! I got the jogging, squatting, planking, press ups and all the goodies that a typical boot camp would entail! It was all worth it though as one of the girls would be crowned Miss Sportswoman Wiltshire 2014 and represent my brand of Beauty and the Beast Personal Training. It was all about team work, determination and not giving up!!

(working hard!!)

The rain luckily held off for them and they remained a bit mud free. They all had a good day and also was the perfect ice breaking for all the contestants to meet each other. We also did some last min pageant training and questions so they could feel confident on stage and look forward to the big day!!

So the day had finally arrived!! I had to teach Spin beforehand but came to rehearsals as they were practicing their walk. We had a few run throughs and was very strange to be holding the mike rather than practicing my walk! This year I would be hosting the event, talking to all the audience and introducing the girls! Daunting as it was the first time I had ever ran the show but I loved it! It was great to get the girls going, make them smile if they were nervous but give them tips where they were going wrong. We wanted a perfect final and give them as much knowledge as possible!!

(Hosting and Presenting!!)

I had my Face of the Globe England sash on and conflicting Miss England Crown since I was also runner up Miss Wiltshire last year and since the last Miss Wiltshire never stepped foot in Wiltshire again after the final, I took her place! It was a great night, the girls did amazing!!! I wish I was back there, but I have October to look forward to! It was tense, the girls were so nervous backstage but they all seemed like they had made good friends and had made it this far!! Even if they didn't win, they would have these memories and hopefully try again next year or other pageants! I came runner up at my first ever pageant, came back the next year and won Miss Swindon. Same as Jaiy and Ruth, and now we are the best of friends through our titles!

So the results....... the new Miss Wiltshire 2014 is Nicole Cox!!! And joining us Miss Swindon sisters is Catissa! I would not of wanted to be the judges that night, but I am happy of who is joining the long line of sister queens and cant wait to help them in their appearances, training and everything else that comes of being a beauty queen! Even if it's a good night out!!

(My Sportswoman Wiltshire 2014- Pippa!! Very happy)

I also got to judge at least one of the side awards and I picked Pippa, because she showed sportsmanship, determination and never gave up, also winner of roman squats! We all love a squat!! Finally it was a chance to unwind and start planning next years, which will be even bigger and better! Can't wait for all the plans! Also to meet with the newly crowned girls to give them all our knowledge and contacts, you will be seeing their faces EVERYWHERE!!!

(Hoopathon challenge)

Hola fans! So been a very busy bee with all these Spin Classes and training so here I am giving you an update on everything pageant in my life! Starting with the 25 hour Hoopathon!!! Sadly couldn't manage 25 hours, as the weighted hoop literally burned my hips and bruised them!! But myself and Heather collectively did 25 hours in total and raised over £200!!! If you would like to donate we have the page here:

http://www.justgiving.com/25hoopathon

We will try again on the challenge to break that record, perhaps with a non weighted hoop and plenty of rest beforehand!! (I had done 5 spins, covered 5 classes as well as a weighted leg session and no sleep, never good!! You need to listen to your body!).

(Flashback to last year's Miss Wiltshire finals)

The Miss Wiltshire 2014 finals have begun!! The countdown is on to the final, where I will be hosting!! So excited to be part of the finals again, and will be wearing my England sash with pride when I host. I think of the first time I entered compared to where I am now! It's exciting seeing all the girls, may it be their first pageant or not, talking about their excitement, what they are planning for charity and all their plans for my fav round, eco wear!!Lucky me I have two outfit changes planned, short and then elegant dress from Dragonflies. Also a Wiltshire Beauty Queen reunion!! Especially since the second Miss Wiltshire has become engaged, so many proposals!! You can vote for the next Miss Wiltshire by liking their pics, check out the contestants here!

Also I can now show you the great photos from the Hair Trophy awards, sadly we didnt make it to the next round but these are some fab images! It was great to be a hair model and do something a bit different! Most pageant girls have long flowing curls yet I've always been a tad different and gone short! Well after this, JJ's cut my hair again and made it even shorter!! Some say it looks like Frankie's from The Saturdays, others really like it. It's strange to not feel any hair on my shoulders, shortest I've ever gone but you need to just take the fear and use it!! 

(Even shorter!! Love being a hair model!)

As you can see it's totally different to all my styles, excuse the casual clothing, it was my morning off!! haha! Check them out on facebook:

(My cinderella skills)

Since the Miss Wiltshire finalists are all talking about their eco wear, I decided to get creative for the Face of the Globe finals (did i mention that im an international finalist?!! ;). I have my old evening wedding dress (I'm not married, thats another story which most know already haha) and since no on wanted to buy this amazing dress (which was already from a charity shop) so i used it for my opening dress! I hunted round charity shops to find kids tops and duvets with disney print and made this dress!! It's only half way finished but i'm so proud of my effort so far! Now need to sew the other side and add an high waisted belt. And of course lots of sparkles!! I am still hunting for sponsorship so let me know if you want in on some amazing advertisement in both London and Paris, for low prices!!
