I attended the Mrs. International Pageant in Chicago. It was an amazing experience! We started the week with a tour of Chicago. We had a wonderful tour guide on our open air double decker bus.
I saw the old Marshal Field building. I think we are somehow related.
We stopped and took pictures along the way. Each of these women were so amazing in their own right. I was glad I was not a judge!
We spent days in rehearsals for the opening number and to learn what to do during the evening gown and aerobic wear portions of the competition.This is my group for the interview portion. The judges were all so kind and asked relevant questions. It was actually fun to speak with these wonderful judges. Who thought that interview could be so much fun!
Friday night was the preliminary competition and Saturday night was the finals. My handsome husband was my escort for the evening gown portion. He has always been such a gentleman.Although I did not make the top 10, I did make some amazing friends. Here I am with Mrs. Alaska International, Gianna Varrati-Simmons and Mrs. Turkey Internationa, Elif Bower. We met on Face Book and finally were able to have coffee together face to face. What a blessing to get to know her.
The new queen is Armaiti Shahidi. She is a very gracious woman and will represent our class of 2009 well. I wish her the best for her year as Mrs. International 2009!
