And the winner is...

Not Jessica but hey, pretty dang close! The kid
got third runner-up, so she will move on to the next level - which is Miss Texas Teen (I think).


That's her, second from the right - she has my abs, don't you think?

And here are the top five - the pink girl in the middle won.



Is this not a Bob Barker moment or what? The final evening gown walk-arama. After it was all over, the poor kid's face hurt from smiling so much. Love the big Texas hair.

Who knew that having hair extensions was like having another pet!
This is "Wayne," the little sh*t who ate one set of extensions when Jessica hung them up outside to dry. After the fact, Bruce says, "I knew it was a bad idea to hang them there..." Well, gee, I really enjoyed my special time with Jessica, half a bottle of detangler and a toothpick salvaging that hair piece, lemme tell you.
So you know, these are THE WRONG ROLLER CLIPS momma. They LEAVE DENTS in your hair! [note to self: new eBay business - roller clips - Sally's Beauty Supply in Houston (I talked to the regional manager, mind you) hasn't received a shipment of the RIGHT ROLLER CLIPS since November 2008. Rarer than the new Lincoln penny!] I'm surprised she could even place with the roller clip snafu. You probably have 75 of the right kind of roller clips in a drawer at home * sigh * Who says pageants aren't real life! How many times will the kid have to deal with the real-life-equivalent of WRONG ROLLER CLIPS? This is all just chock full of LIFE LESSONS dearie.


Bruce #2 and Bruce #3 (Bruce #1 would have l-o-v-e-d to see this!)


Celebrating with family - daughter #2 and bestest daughter-in-law #1

Me and peanut. (She looks a little too shake-n-bake, but that's the stage makeup, ya'll.)
Adam wouldn't come, the little shi*t. I can see why, as he was BUSY. He was on his longboard with Johnny, being dragged through the neighborhood by a dog named Garth (and hair-eating-dog Wayne's best buddy) with a cape and a Mexican Lucha Libre mask (wtf?????!!!!). Sorry, no, don't have a picture.
