I'm SO not hip...

Okay friends, picture this:
A day with Miss Nebraska Princess day. Doing fun/light on-stage questions with the little ladies. I asked this darling little lady who she liked better, Backstreet Boys or N'Sync? Seemed like a fair question. I myself, would have picked NSync (Justin Timberlake), but I wait for her answer. Cue the crickets. ALL 30 little girls look at me like I have 3 heads. They don't know who these legendary boy bands are!!! Cue my gigantic sigh. I'm SO not with it. I try to quickly recover and ask which is their favorite Jonas Brother...she says Nick. I say enough with my failing attempt at teen heart throb trivia and more PRINCESS DAY!

You all know how much I love hanging with Princesses. Seriously, I adore hanging out with little ladies who are full of moxy and sass because they are hilarious and have so much energy! Hence my platform I suppose. I was so excited when the Miss Nebraska Little Sisters Alumnae decided to host "A Day with Miss Nebraska Princess Party". The fundraiser helped to raise money for the Miss Nebraska talent award scholarship. Being a recipient of this award, I recognize the importance of this incredible scholarship for the contestants and I was so grateful to JJ's Bridal and the Quality Inn and Suits for helping to make it possible. 30 little girls showed up and participated in various different activities including painting nails, making sashes and necklaces, modeling gowns and onstage interviews. The best part of the day was probably the Miss America evening gown modeling. In terms of runway music, I learned Selena Gomez is way cooler than Miley Cyrus but Taylor Swift reigns supreme...she's my favorite as well. Love Story was the jam of choice.

The glitz and the glamour of the day is so much fun however it is so rewarding to watch these little ladies between 6-11 years old show off their unique talents and confidence. The day was all about feeling good and confident about who they are, and boy were they ever! I wish we would have had this fundraiser prior to Miss America, they probably could have given me some walking tips for evening gown!
