Disgustingly Southern

Could there be anything more Southern than a fair and a beauty pageant? We are in the South and I just couldn't resist this very southern tradition.

Emma participated in her first pageant this past week. In her mother's footsteps, she took the stage at Baby Miss Gwinnett County fashioning a Mammaw original. She was beautiful in her blue dress, but the organizers did not consult her bedtime schedule before deciding the time for the event. She was ready for bed and would not surrender one single smile on stage. But we were very excited when they crowned her Baby Miss Photogenic....Emma says, "Ha....see Will I can strike a pose too!!!" (See our earlier post Strike a Pose).

Nikki and Victoria also got in on this great southern tradition. They worked it in Wee Miss Gwinnett County. Victoria sparkled in pink and Nikki glowed in white. Both Mammaw originals of course. The girls did a wonderful job and Nikki brought home the Wee Miss photogenic crown.

With all the hairspray, make-up, and girly fun, we found the princess doing what she does best! So here's to Ferris wheels, meat on a stick, funnel cake, and everything else that is disgustingly southern!!!!
