Miss Congeniality!!

I was bestowed the honor of Miss Congeniality at the Miss Texas International pageant. This was a huge honor as it was voted on by my peers. I thank everyone that voted for me and I am glad that I was able to bring joy and laughter to the pageant weekend. Together we made it a fabulous weekend. We all shined like sparkling stars!!

Some of my favorite "Miss Congeniality" quotes:

Gracie Hart: I am in a dress, I have gel in my hair, I haven't slept all night, I'm starved, and I'm armed! Don't *mess* with me!

Victor Melling: Smilers wear a crown, losers wear a frown.

Gracie Hart: Oh my gosh, it's the crown!
Victor Melling: Yes! You can taste it now, can't you?
[Gracie is taken to the stage pointing at her head while she stutters about the crown]
Victor Melling: Yes, yes. You *wear* the crown, *be* the crown, you *are* the crown!

Victor Melling: Don't pick your feet up. Why are you picking your feet up?
Gracie Hart: Because I'm preparing to run away!

 Victor Melling: [teaching Gracie how to glide] See? Glide. It's all in the buttocks. Don't I look pretty?
Gracie Hart: It takes a very secure man to walk like that.

 Victor Melling: Your hair should make a statement.
Gracie Hart: As long as it doesn't say 'Thank you very much for the Country Music Award'!

 Stan Fields: What is the one most important thing our society needs?
Gracie Hart: That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan.
[crowd is silent]
Gracie Hart: And world peace!
[crowd cheers ecstatically]
Stan Fields: Thank you, Gracie Lou.
Gracie Hart: And thank *you*, Stan.

Victor Melling: What, no armored car?
Gracie Hart: That would be in my other dress.
