My anaconda dont....

(bright faced, ready for the day ahead!)

Too early in the morning after a sleepless night of drifiting in and out to fix my phone (its fixed now yey!!) and Nicole was outside my house ready to take us on our adventure!!! After a good old pageant catch up/gossip/advice we were at our venue to the double header charity event, Mr and Miss Gliltz Glam charity fundraising pageant of sorts!! Two pageants in one, twice the amount to win! What a deal breaker!! \We arrived, and it was straight into it! 

(Crowns!!!!)

The show was hosted by Sara, bubbly and full of energy!! The first round was beauty round, the sparkles on these dresses!!!Some of the girls, and boys, really enjoyed it up there and you couldn't help but smile when they blew you kisses!! The age range went from 6 months to well a late age and yes even the pageant mums, and grandmas joined in! This will be what i'm like when im older, still strutting my stuff!!No matter how old, shape or size, they worked that stage!

 (Judges table!)

There was a quick 5 mins break (and someone sent to maccy ds) and then outfit of choice was the next round, and this is where the props came out to play!!! My fav of all time was the little girl dressed as pikachu with a pokeball dancing to the theme song!!! I HAD to get a picture with that ball!! Also Harry potter and legally blonde, love it!! The teens high low dresses as well, swishing everywhere, it was an upbeat show to truely show off their personality!!

(Look at the pokeball!!)

After OOC there was the talent section, where we were treated to a talent section where there was singing, dancing, hula hooping (ofcourse my fav!) and even CPR|! Then a quick break, time for some photos and shots and then onto crowning!! I met some more contestants for FOTG representing England and Wales who are just as excited as me to be going to the finals \NEXT week!!! 

(With fellow England FO|TG, and judges)

By then 5 months of not wearing heels had taken their toll on my poor feet, we were all on stage crowning all the winners!! The heels did slip off ;) but I wasnt the only one hehe. The crowns were huge! \Seeing how happy they all were was so sweet! By the end the crowning had been complete, an hour later with lots of happy girls and the ulitmate winner a worthy one! She was adorable on stage! Bet there was lots of sparkling cars on the way back!!! We came away with more details about other charity pageants and making all those little girls and boys dreams come true!! Now as I'm lying here in bed, comfy clothes on and ready for a good sleep,I now need to prepare, to pack and to represent Wiltshire Beauty Queens and England, bring home that crown from Disneyland (and get a selfie with Mickey).
See you on the other side!

Countdown til pageant lift off!!

(amazing nails done by Knightly nails)

As i sit here, trying to type in these nails, Im thinking ahead to the face of the globe finals which start NEXT weekend!! All this waiting since I was awarded a place last year has lead to this moment!! This is where the pageant prep begins! First of course the nails, and I went for a different look from my usual frenchies (which I only get nails for comps, cant imagine wearing these all year round!). i went to Knightly Nails, amazing girlo who spent the time to do both my nails and toes (if they ever get seen in this cold weather!) But now I feel so girlie with minnie mouse nails :)

(Jovani again <3 )

Next the wardrobe!! \Lots of disney prints and legging being packed away, with cosy jumpers and the all important Disney Dress :) Of course my ballgown is being sponsored by Rachel's Weddings and is an gorge blue, great neckline and princess style! Not a fan of ballgowns but the evening round is set for princess, and we are on the Disney stage so might as well show up those princesses!! Ive got an amazing Jovani gown for the gala night, where we get our crowns! So excited to finally have a tiara from Face of the Globe, been waiting for so long lol T|his amazing gown is backless, and will be worn again and again dont you worry!! I'm sure some of the Wiltshire beauty queens will borrow it as well ;)

(Start of Zante to start of back to the UK)

Finally hair, it is important to have that long, swishy hair. For most pageants il have short hair, I like to be different! But I thought, this is my first international final, let's go all out! So I got a weave from Shara at Beaute Salon. She was patience, esp when im balling like a little baby and 3 hours later we have the end result! Long, red hair, made to stand out!! \Such a change from before! Most people will know im not the normal pageant girl, it took me up until a year ago to be able to put on fake eyelashes myself!! Ive never worn fake tan (lucky 5 months in zante has given me a glow!) and ive never had extensions of any kind! I want those pictures to come back and think wow, ive made it! Im after that world title, glitter and all!!

Last few things to tick off like packing, printing and sorting out my publicity folder, one last appearance to squeeze in judging a pageant with |Miss Wiltshire. Very excited to be on the other side! See you guys soon, remember there is a LIKE vote on the Face of the Globe facebook profile, like the page, find my photo HANNAH G and press the like button :) simples!

Just another normal day in the pageant office

(All our fans haha)

It's been 5 long months since I've met up with one of my best friends and fellow beauty queen Georgia and it had to be something special! What other way than Georgia winning a VIP treatment to see Peter Andre and grab some freebies, and take me along with her because she loves me ;) Ive got a nice new hair do curtsy of Beaute Hairdressers (the amazing Shara Vine who put up with my squeals and tears) and my lush new Face of the Globe tops, complete with micky mouse spots and red bow heels, it was off to meet Mr Andre!

(meeting the man himself)

It seemed everyone in Swindon had gone crazy, woman pushing to get to the front, one pregnant lady queued since half 7 in the MORNING!!! We were lucky that we got to wait outside in no queues or crowds, got called in first, given our perfumes (Thank you FLIC Wiltshire and The Perfume Shop) and then met Mr Andre. Cue lots of photos by various press and when Peter said oh this must be daunting for you we were both like na we're used to it aha!

(Selfie Time!)

And when it was time to take the selfie, standard, Peter then changed the filter and snap snap snap, obv used to it! Here's a top pout for ya, face of the globe do you think he could be in the mr category! hehe we also got interviewed and then on our merry way, going past the massive queues that went all the way to the Big Screen in Swindon (a long way), they must of been FEREEZING!

(Wiltshire beauty queen reunion, or half of them!)

It was also great to end the day with catching up with some of the other beauty queens, seeing Nicole who has done so much with her title already and will defo be seen in a disney related pageant if i get my way ;) Also Ela travelling from Bristol to see our faces, catch up on some gossip and fall off her chair in Ed's Diner ;) Also got some wardrobe additions for my Paris trip, can not wait for the Wild West show, also sporting a nice fluffy Disney Jumper! Half my wardrobe is Disney or Harry Potter! With some colour chucked in! Not long now til the finals, more prep and charity ideas, if anyone has any ideas of what I can do let me know! Cheers lovelys!

Yassou!

 (Paint party every Friday!)

So this picture pretty much summarises my summer! I have just spent nearly 5 months working abroad for Club 18-30 and Escapades in Zante for one of the hardest yet amazing summer ever! Working all hours, getting covered in paint, water, sun, amazing people from all over the UK! but now im back in cloudy England, ready for my next adventure which of course is the INTERNATIONAL FINALS for face of the globe. Anyone in Zante knows this was one of the things I used to ALWAYS talk about, and now its only 3 odd weeks away!! 

(Mini me Scarlett)

Before I left for Zante, I had an amazing shoot with my fab photographer sister Cassie of CMG Photographer and had this little beauty to assist me as well :) We used the princess theme and some of the images was just as I imagined, also the unrevealing of the Disney Dress!! We went with Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and of course all things Disney! 

(sleeping beauty)

I love studio and outside shoots, feel a bit out of sync with it now but im sure once I'm back on that stage, it will be like riding a bike again! 

(THAT Disney dress)

It's great to see all your hard work pay off as well, this dress took my ages, all the pin pricks and sore hands! Every photo shoot with Cassie is something different and fun, and Scarlett had her moments too!! Before I left I also did a photoshoot with the Swindon Advertiser, about the bikini body. Since I am a personal trainer (do not feel like one atm), they asked me for some top exercises and got pictures of the exercises, and it would be my last interview with my fav reporter Emma Dunn as I just found out she has now left the Adver! Good luck Emma! Below is the piece in the paper, always referred to as "former miss Swindon" ....

(Swindon Advertiser June 2014)

AS well as being busy with my new job, I still promoted my soical media page, twitter and instagram! Of course I took my sash with me so it feels well travelled! Even sent a cheeky tweet in it from my apartment, the weather was beautiful! 

(Smiles on a Big Reunion day!)

Of course I also kept the Disney theme when it came to our dress up themes out here, we had a bloodbath paint party, think Halloween in July! So of course I was Snow White! Which, of course, got covered in red paint!! As well as the closing party for Cherry Bay, where I became Tinkerbell! 

(Disney themed)

But now I am back, here where there is no clear sky, no abusing the air con and walking around in shorts, saying yassou to everyone on the strip or walking to the beach on a day off. The first thing I did when I got home was sleep!! Of course I got to check out my package which I had ordered from Face of the Globe which contained all my goodies for Paris!! I got myself an onsie, hoodie and of course the tshirts which all have my name on the back :) personalize at it's finest! I got to see my roxy foxy again and her new 6 puppies who have now given me no sleep, what are the odds hey! 

(onsie, dominoes and a wild roxy foxy appears)

After the first night back on English soil, it was back to appearances, back to organising Paris and sort out everything now I'm back! First thing on the agenda was to attend a charity quiz in aid of one of my fav charities to help, local and personal to my heart, Breaking Free- a charity which helps sexual abuse victims. I brought along my friends Sarah and Jess, a great catch up for one but i don't think they knew what we had let ourselves in for! It was a WI quiz, the theme was Inspirational Woman and we were sat at the back thinking, last place here we come!!!! And we did! Wooden Spoons as our prize,and I didn't win anything at the raffle again, shock! So bad with raffles! 

(Ready to play!)

Overall an enjoyable way to get back into the pageant life, have lots planned before Paris, lots of things to order and plan. Submitted my talent so fingers crossed will here whether I get to perform in Paris or not! but for now I shall leave you with my Disney Shoes which the maker has said will be sent out next week, exciting!!!! 

(Fit for a Disney Princess)

Thank you for reading and it's good to be back!!
