Dress Rehearsal!
I just got back from Dress Rehearsal. The stage is beautiful, and the girls are fantastic! This will be a great show!
But enough about that, I know you want to read about BRENNA! Sorry, no pictures, but she looks SO GOOD! Her presentation in SS and EG was great, even though they had not had a chance to practice their patterns on the stage until dress rehearsal. She will really shine for the judges! And the judges have already seen all 51 contestants, in a quick "preview" this morning where each contestant walked into the room with the prelim judges and posed in both EG and SS. Tonight is when they are scored.
There were several ladies who changed their gowns from the official photos. DC went to a light green flowy gown, FL is wearing a gold silk gown, NY is now wearing a green gown with black lace overlay, OK's gown is similar on top but looks to be grey on the bottom with green as the inside layer (think Shandi's skirt), and SC is wearing a fully beaded white halter. You may have seen the gowns (if not, go to www.pageantgossip.com to see them all together), and some look better on stage, while others do not look as good on stage. Brenna's is perfect for her, she really moves well in it, and it really pops on stage.
The Preliminary competition is in just a few hours. The ladies stayed at the arena for dinner and to get ready. Please pray for a sense of calm and focus for Brenna as she prepares. There are camera crews all over the arena filming the experience for a "behind the scenes" show, crew members putting finishing touches on the stage and 50 other ladies preparing for this big event, so any quite time/space is rare.
Brenna asked that I thank everyone for their comments on the blog; she does get a chance to read them and they truly lift her spirits.
I will post after the Preliminary show tonight. There will be no announcements, but I'll let you all know how Brenna did. Of course, we all know she'll be superb!

Oh right Lady. Your doing great! You look FANTASTIC in your gown! Whoa Mama!!!! I am so bummed that I am not out there now. I can't wait to get there on Thursday. I am so excited for you. I can't wait to see you get your crown! I hope that you are able to get some decent rest in between all the activities and excitement. I know you must be loving most every minute of it all.
I wanted to let you know that Channel 3 had you on the TV again tonight. It was footage from your Becca bathing suit modeling in Rebecca's store. I got to see you in a few different suits. You looked beautiful!
Have fun. Sleep well. Most importantly, nourish that body, woman. Love, Andrea
Oh Brenna, you go girl! Knock the judges' socks off. You got this! This is your time! This is what all the hours of training, fittings, and rehearsals has been for. Own that stage...it's yours!!! Breathe, smile, breathe, laugh, enjoy, soak in the experience, breathe, smile, and laugh some more! Did I mention to breathe?! What about smile?! Why yes, I did.
Seriously though take a minute to enjoy the stage, the spotlight, really look into the audience. I'm sure it will be a memorable night for you, so cherish it.
Don't forget the work isn't over after prelims. So by all means take a rest, but then get ready for the rush to the crown!
GO GIRL! WORK IT! OWN IT! YOU GOT IT!
Way to go, Brenna! I know you'll knock their socks off!
My thoughts and prayers are with you! You've got quite a following here in AZ.
Blessings,
Anna
