10 Times You Need Your Pageant Friends........

Ok, so by now all of you know that I LOVE my pageant peeps!!!  I also love my other friends as well (I'm not leaving ya'll out!).  However, I find that sometimes you just need your pageant friends around! 

I cannot take credit for coming up with the title of this post, as I stole it from yet another page in a Glamour magazine.  (their title was "10 times you still need your mom")  I just made it my own!  :)  So here we go!

10 Times You Need Your Pageant Friends:

1.  When you are watching Miss America/Miss USA with non-pageant friends and as you say things like "Oh no, she did not just pony kick" or "Gosh, she's such a patty" they look at you as if you have lost your ever loving mind.

2.  When the question "Rhinestones or no rhinestones?" arises.

3.  When you walk into an event/party/get together and you are waaaaaaaay overdressed.  (you know they'd be just as overdressed as you)

4.  When you want to go shop at Cache

5.  If you need to confirm that you don't have on too much makeup or hairspray..........Is there such a thing?!?!

6.  When you need anything taped, tucked or glued.

7.  When you are contemplating which business head shot to use for work.

8.  When you feel the need to bust out all of you different "walks."  You know they know the difference between your swimsuit walk and evening gown walk.....duh.

9.  When someone ask you what Miss USA does for talent.  Please sit down, we must teach you the difference!!

10.  When someone calls you a "has been."  They can totally feel your pain...........

What is wrong with these people?!?!?!

I have two words for all of you................The Bachelorette.  If you are one of the unfortunate people who are not tuning in to watch this fiasco of a show, then turn on your tv PRONTO!!!!! 

Let me first start off by saying that I actually do not regularly tune in to The Bachelor/Bachelorette, but the fact that there is a dentist from Greenville and a Clemson grad caught my attention.  Gotta root for the hometown boys!!!  Whoop Whoop!!! 

Then it all started last Monday night.............

Dear. Heavens. Above.  What is wrong with these guys???  Or more importantly, what is wrong with this girl, Ashley?  She is pretty, young, smart (in dental school), but for some reason she is not dating/engaged/married.  To me, this leaves one explanation...........Girl is crazy.   Which was confirmed in episode two, which I will get to later.  :)

So the arrivals begin.  Ashley is in a bea-utiful gown standing in front of the Bachelorette Mansion (as I like to call it) and here comes the limos with the boys men.  Now, if I am standing there and a limo full of grown men pull up and are yelling and hooting and me, I am going to politely tell the driver to keep going.  This is a huge pet peeve of mine.  Do not, I repeat, do not "cat call" at me!!!!  When guys do this, I want to walk over to their window and ask "how many times have you ACTUALLY picked up a girl by doing that?"  Yeah, their answer would be nada. 

So onto the introductions. 

Ames:  This guy feels his importance.  He will not let us forget that he went to Ivy League schools and is better than 99.9% of us.  There is something I just don't like about him and I will figure it out with time.

Anthony:  A butcher with a thick Jersey accent......eeennnnkkkkkk!  (that's the sound of a buzzer)

Ben:  He hasn't made me not like him yet, which is a good sign.

Ben F:  Wine maker, Josh Groban wanna-be......eeeeeennnnnnnnkkkkkkkkk!

Bentley:  Admitted from the beginning that he was expecting a different girl and is not at all into Ashley.  She knows this, yet begs for him to stay.  Seeing the "Girl is crazy" part in that??  Now he just wants to get her to say he beat all the other guys.  Double eeeeeennnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkk!

Blake:  Greenville Dentist.  Does this guy ever say a word?!?!?!?  I think not, and this is why I don't dislike him......yet.

Chris D:  do not remember.  whoops!

Chris M:  do not remember.  Maybe I have an issue with Chris'.

Constantine:  blah

Frank:  Oh dear.

J.P.:  Cutie-Pa-Tootie!!!  I really liking me some J.P.  I cannot wait until they get to go on their first date. 

Jeff:  (a.k.a. Batman)  What is this guy thinking?  I would have kicked him off on the first show.  Creepy does not even begin to describe him.  Lurking around in a mask ALL of the time!!  See ya, bye!

Jon:  Another that I do not remember

Lucas:  Seems like a nice guy.  Hasn't done anything to offend me yet.

Matt:  Cute, but quiet.

Michael:  Who??

Mickey:  Tom Hanks look alike.  Maybe Ashley can be his Jenny.

Nick:  His hair annoys me.....really bad.  It seemed that he was trying too hard to impress with his line dance skills.

Rob:  No memory

Ryan M:  Now, this fool got out of the limo with his digital camera in hand.  Proceeded to ask for a pic with Ashley, then looks at her and says "think I can get one with Chris Hansen (the host) inside?"  I would have said "No, you cannot, because you are getting back in that limo and going back to where you came from."

Ryan P:  Handsome....we will keep him around for a while ;)

Stephen:  Hairdresser from CA.  He needs to give himself a haircut. 

Tim:  ehhh

West:  CLEMSON TIGER!!!!!!!!!!!  Need I say more.  As they say "A Clemson Man Needs No Introduction."   But, he has won me over (not just because he is a Tiger).  He is a sweet, southern man, who has been through the loss of a wife early in life.  Bless his heart. 

William:  Now, I loved him at first and may change my mind again.  But he is really starting to annoy me.  You know there is always the guy that wins her heart early on and then he becomes the "arrogant-creepy-let me make lovey eyes at her at all times" guy.  He really thinks that this thing is his.  In the bag, all you other guys head home, put a fork in me I'm done.  I personally just think he is getting his creep on and his time may be limited. 

Ahhhhhhhh, now that I have given my thoughts on the guys, you can all sleep well tonight.  haha!!!  On a side note, let's talk about some of the introductions these guys gave.  They picked her up (literally), gave their best cheesy pick up lines, etc.  I just couldn't do it!!  I would have laughed at half of these guys. 

Anyways, it's been real blogg-ahs!!!!
