An Update

Today has been busy busy busy! I woke up bright and early to set my hair and get a quick spray tan to look competition-ready for swimsuit. After orientation, where they approved my swimwear and opening number cocktail, we headed over the Synetic Theater for rehearsals. We learned our walking patterns for swim, evening gown and opening number, so we're almost all set!

Now, we have a little down time before the Runway Competition tonight. We received a cute rhinestoned black top for the competition that we wear with our favorite heels and skinny blue jeans. I am super excited to work the runway (think Victoria's Secret fashion show!!). After the runway competition concludes, we have a director's reception. Then, it is off to bed to prepare for a full day of rehearsals and swimsuit prelims!
