Have you ever joined a pageant?  What was it like?  Beauty pageants are definitely great avenues for individual growth.  Say for example, the Search for Miss Universe.  The candidates are from different parts of the world and they compete for a title that brings honor and prestige not only to the candidates but to the countries they represent, as well.  Back stage, they may become friends and enjoy each others’ company whilst exploring Las Vegas.  As we often see it, the candidates are those in the front line, wearing the beautiful gowns that the different designers make.  Designers are not always in the limelight but they are actually a big factor in winning a pageant.  Would you agree?  A designer knows how to let the beauty of a particular candidate shine through by making the perfect gown for her.

I, too, had an experience in joining a beauty pageant.  It was not as huge an event as the Miss Universe, though.  I remember I went berserk in looking for the best gown.  And, it was at that time that I realized how good and passionate designers can be.  Are you one of them?  Oh, do you know that I really admire designers?  It is one of my frustrations that I’m not a fashion designer.  Anyway, I had difficulty in choosing a gown since for me, there were a lot of beautiful designs.  I believe it is passion and a love of their craft that makes fashion designers produce outstanding designs.  If only I had some of their creativity, I would join contests related to fashion.  I would see to it that I did my best to win a design prize.  I am not actually saying that it’s the prize that matters the most, but prizes can be a motivation in getting started and trying your hand at something new to you.  Am I right?
