(Hooping at my local village fayre)
I've been a bit quiet on the blog front as i've been very poorly and doctors have ordered me rest, although that still didn't stop this pageant girl from keeping up her commitments! First I had a very busy day with 3 appearances! First to celebrate 125 years of the Railway Village, they held a local fayre complete with music and activities and of course I had to hoop didn't i!
(In heaven!!)
Then I was invited as a guest of the Rugby 7s tournament, next door the charity SMASH held a charity day so we visited and had ice-cream then it was on to handing out the awards. Now i LOVE rugby, it was such a honour to hand out the trophies and to have pictures with the winners. I got hugs, kisses and that smile is the biggest it's been in a while!! ;)
(with Rey Mysterio!!!)
Not only did I get to meet rugby players from all over the country, but I also helped out the next day at the 4FW wrestling show which featured WWE legend Rey Mysterio! I actually got to meet one of my childhood heros, as a family we used to stay up late and watch WWE in awe!!
(At the Core with my super smoothie!!)
Not only did I have an amazing weekend, the next weekend I attended a Book swap, my idea of a good time! I have over 200 books at home in my little flat so to bring books that ive read and loved, but don't need to keep, for new books which i haven't yet turned the pages?!! YES! and it was FREE!! Also we enjoyed amazing smoothies and free ginger shots which certainly gave some energy!!
(Charity bargains!)
Next on the pageant agenda was a trip to The Open Door, a charity which helps all ages of disabilities have an area where they can socialise and make friends, as well as do activities! They are holding a charity fashion show on the 20th August, which I have been kindly asked to model for! It's an evening dress catwalk so it fit's perfect!!! I chose this dress which will be adjusted to me, and also found a new hat!!
(pageant besties!)
Then it was a pageant roadtrip to Dudley for the finals of Ms british beauty queen with fellow wiltshire beauty queens jade and Ruth!! I was still feeling very poorly but being back in pageant land made me feel alot better! There were four rounds, red, high street wear, british wear and evening round. I sold alot of my evening gowns so had a reserve and spent ages sewing up my british wear which i made from flags!!
(work that flag girl!)
As you can see I found a use for the hat! This was my fav round as I really got to work the high low, as well as walking tall in my trusty pageant heels!! I came top 5 in the end, as well as Jade in her age group and Ruth took the title of Ms!!! So happy one of us came back with a crown!!
(Evening wear)
It was great to be back on stage but also makes me very excited for Paris next year! I've stepped up the game with my charity game and will be doing THREE events this year. First a fashion catwalk clothes swap shopping event which is at the Rugby Club on the 2nd October, then my very own charity pageant called Miss Rainbow Star on the 7th november with a charity ball straight after! Alll helped by my AMAZING sponsors Emma and Gemma! As well as my fab sister Cassie helping! Already got a few contestants and fingers crossed it will be a big event!! The adver have covered it which is amazing as it's so hard to get pieces in the adver these days!

Well i am now off to see my former Rep friends in Kavos to have a nice earned break, and then it's straight back to pageant land making sure we raise as much for the Rainbow Child Foundation as possible! If you can help in any way by donating time or money, give us a shout!!
Lots of love
