So here's how Distinguished Young Women goes down...
1: You have an interview with judges the night before. See picture of me in blue dress.
2: On stage you preform in the following categories...
Fitness, Talent, Self Expression
3: Fitness entails doing choreographed pushups, jumping jacks and the like, on stage and looking cute while you're at it. Actually just displaying endurance, muscle tone etc...
4: Talent entails doing a talent. Some girls did piano, harp, monologues, and dancing. I was a dancer. I danced to Judy Garland's The Trolley Song.
5: Self Expression entails wearing a fancy cocktail dress, walking in heels, and then pulling a question while backstage and proceeding to go on stage to answer said question. I had to talk about being studious.
6: Then you sit backstage while judges deliberate on those categories as well as your interview and a scholastic score. See photo of girls sitting on floor in fancy dresses.
7: Then you go out and stand on stage while awards are given in each category. The categories I won are Fitness, Interview, and Self Expression.
8: Then there are three overall winners and I was one and it was good times all around!
9: Winning entails getting to be in the town parade, and then also going on to compete at the state level in January. Woohoo!
and that is how its done.
XO ROSIE

Oh, how fun! Congratulations on being the best!
P.S. Your long hair is gorgeous.
Way to go Rosie!
You are the only girl I know who can look stunning while dancing with a top hat, answering nerve wracking questions, and doing mens push-ups...on stage...in front of an audience! A true feat my Rosie one! A true feat! I am so proud of your amazing display of poise and courage while under duress! You have greatness in you and it's a true joy to watch it grow. I love you.
Ps, you forgot to mention that you won scholarship money as well! You may not realize it now, but that's a big deal!
Congratulations gorgeous girl! I stopped by Dear Lizzie last night and was telling your mom how charming you and your blog are. I didn't know I could see more photos, but glad she told me. Love your dresses!!! That dance dress is amazing!
p.s. Tell your Mom that I loved talking with her and all my loot! Nothing like Dear Lizzie loot. I forgot a few things I need to come back for. It is all so pretty.
CONGRATS!!
