So, I was a brat in high school.
Seriously.
So much so that I feel like I need to apologize to people that I run into who only “kind of” knew me in high school now that I’m an adult.
Anyway. I went to West Florence High School. And at West Florence, there’s a pageant. Miss West Florence. I convinced the golf team to sponsor me because I really wanted to be in it.
No… not just be in it. I wanted the crown, baby.
So my mom and I did some major shopping and came up with my theme for the pageant… RED.
I told you I was a brat.
I had a red suit for the interview with the judges before the pageant. I had a red skirt and crisp white top for casual wear with red accent jewelry, and a red ball gown for the evening wear.
This is the dress. But I wore it to prom, and that is when this photo was taken. The year? 2003.
But let’s get back to that interview. During during the interview, one of the school administrators/judges asked me to describe myself in one word.
Do you know what I said?
Without skipping a beat, I said, “Classic.”
CLASSIC? …seriously?
I hope you can laugh with me, and not at me.
Well, I can understand if you want to laugh at me for a minute.
Good. I feel like we’ve peeled a layer of this onion called Whitney back tonight. I’m glad we’re friends.
That’s awesome! Classic : ) I love that you had a “theme.”
I only laugh because it reminds me of what a brat I was in high school, so you aren’t alone
SO FUNNY…you want to know what I wore for the interview? A robin-egg blue suit with clear heels…… BA HA HA HA HA. …and don’t feel bad about being a brat, so was I. I needed a spanking!
HAHAHA I remember those heels and that suit!! What were we thinking?
