Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Hey, I’m thinking of pulling together a betting pool for the pageant. You think you could get me some inside intel when the time comes?” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “Just because maybe these women have stayed here in Clover City or have become stay-at-home moms or cashiers doesn’t mean you can deem their entire lives outside of the pageant a waste.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “I know. I went shopping for the pageant with Mrs. Walton.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Will your family be okay if we get you some makeup for the pageant? It’s just to help you glow more onstage.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “You’re welcome. I like to be helpful. It’s sort of a Nebraska thing. My pageant sponsor says I’ve got a real good chance at Miss Congeniality this year.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z No matter how much I despise this pageant, it’s not something I can just say no to. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “She told me that your sneaky behind is in that pageant. So since you want to keep secrets, since you think you running thangs ’round here, you ain’t doing that pageant tomorrow. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The last few days of school mark the start of pageant prep season, which means my mom is on a diet. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z That mantra had seen her through countless pageants. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “So you think you could be in a pageant?” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z Once Millie is sure her parents are asleep, we head to the TV room and watch a few videos of former pageants that I stole from my mom’s stash. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z When we finished rehearsal that night, I could almost imagine myself leaping out into the airy elements and dropping the insubstantial pageant of life behind me. The Wednesday Wars 2007-05-21T00:00:00Z Now, under the clear night sky, she wondered if it might be the time to break it all down like some elaborate pageant set the day after the show. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “Now I want you to repeat these words after me: I, Vanessa Martin, am about to compete in my very first pageant. Miss King Middle School, here I come!” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Oh, not long,” she said, giving Jilly a wide pageant smile. It All Comes Down to This 2017-07-11T00:00:00Z “This was the best thing to come out of the pageant deal,” she said. Burning Blue 2012-10-25T00:00:00Z I told Mitch to pick me up at five because my mom had a pageant board meeting until six and I didn’t really feel like getting the how-to-be-a-lady/what-boys-want-in-a-girl talk from her. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z All the years I’ve watched this pageant and not once did I see a black girl win. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Only Taylor remained vigilant in her pageant work, getting up every morning, rain or shine, to go through the paces of her routine, from first entrance to talent to final interview. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z Games and feasting followed the pageant, and at sunset Mr. Westing put on his Uncle Sam costume and set off fireworks from his front lawn. The Westing Game 1979-01-01T00:00:00Z My mother has fit in her old pageant dress every year since she was crowned. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “Miss Colorado, how do you feel about being the only African-American girl in the pageant?” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z Curly guessed it was her very first Hollywood role after retiring from beauty pageants. Hoot 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z “My parents want me to do the Miss USA pageant after I’m too old for this one,” she said. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z So when the men with their bloodstained spears came jingling down the aisle of our church pageant on Easter Sunday it represented progress, I’m sure, but it wasn’t what Father really hoped for. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z “I’m not going to approve it for the pageant. It’s not about you being my daughter. I would do the same with anyone else. It’s inappropriate.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Normally I’d just blow off this kind of thing as dumb pageant fluff, but it’s actually kinda cool. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “How many fathers?” he asks again and again in this recorded pageant, and his recorded audience responds, “One!” The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z Christmas Eve, along with the rest of the de la Torre children, I was taken to the National Cathedral for the nativity pageant where the new creche was to be unveiled. How the García Girls Lost Their Accents 1991-01-04T00:00:00Z I remember that night, two years ago, as we sat at the kitchen table and I pretended that I hadn’t heard my mom tell her to enter the pageant. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z She’s been caught up in pageant stuff, and I’ve been too wrapped up in myself, so Lucy’s room has sort of been sitting here. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “I think you need to be getting ready, Nessy. We got a pageant to win tonight,” Pop Pop says. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “And if he does, that’s taking away a spot that could go to you or me. It’s not like the pageant just loves women of color, you know.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z A fly outfit will put me in the birthday and pageant spirit. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z But tonight my mother is dead set on me watching television with her while she crafts props for the pageant’s opening dance number. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Three days after the interview, rather than integrate its annual Miss Durham pageant, as demanded by UOCI, the Durham Junior Chamber of Commerce voted to cancel the event altogether. The Best of Enemies 1996-04-01T00:00:00Z Our great event for counterfeit Easter Sunday was a pageant, organized by Father and whoever else could drum up the enthusiasm. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z “Callie’s actually doing that pageant boot camp we saw after school last week.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Her smile is whiter, even, than in her teen pageant pictures. The Help 2009-02-10T00:00:00Z For a moment I consider telling her about Daddy and his reaction to me doing the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z This is going to be about the pageant, and how I’m not taking it seriously enough. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z But for the pageant, she doesn’t want to hear me speak any street talk, or, as she calls it, colloquialisms. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The King Middle girls are excited about Mrs. Walton’s pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z So Father saw this pageant as a splectacular mark of things being on the upswing. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z Why did Daddy make it seem like pageants were such a bad thing, especially if Mama did them? Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Standing in my very own living room, I feel like I’ve just won the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I’d completely forgotten about my talent—or even the pageant—for a few days. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The whole pageant seemed like such a lost cause that it didn’t even occur to me to be concerned by the fact that I didn’t have an escort. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Just like in the days of my pageant training, Mrs. Walton always reminds me to speak from my heart. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Daddy is okay with me doing the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Years ago she was on the fast track: modeling for Jet magazine, appearing in local television commercials, and competing in beauty pageants. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “I heard you talking last night to Ellen. About the pageant.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z TJ is putting the finishing touches on it at school and bringing it home on my birthday, the day before the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z In less than a minute he too was lying on the ground, trussed so that he could not move, and before Lancelot woke the whole pageant had disappeared. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z It embarrasses me to know that I told El she couldn’t enter the pageant. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “I'll be waiting for autographed picture of you in your pageant tiara. I make lot of copies and hang around the store, yes?” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Darkness came early, as it always does in December, but the pageant of arriving revelers continued. The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place: Book I: The Mysterious Howling 2011-01-25T00:00:00Z “This whole pageant thing is about me, El. I am making this about me.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Lots of things happen around pageant season, but Mom altering dresses in the middle of our living room is not one of them. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z When I used to imagine myself on the pageant stage, the girl I saw was the spitting image of Vanessa Williams or the spitting image of Mama. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z All the pageant season diets my mom and I have done flip through my head like index cards. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The girls on television at the Miss America pageant make this look so easy. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “She only wants what’s best for me. She knows I love the pageants.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z How can I even think about doing a pageant after everything that happened? Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Grace wondered if she could give up her sister duties or if someone would just come take them from her, like when beauty pageant winners got caught in a sexting scandal. Far from the Tree 2017-10-03T00:00:00Z It’s a small thing, but it’s enough to remind me that my mom is more than the pageant. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Angrily, she wiped the tears away and talked through her affirmations: “Never count a pageant girl out.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z But still, she did ask me to be in the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Now this might seem like no big deal, but the cubic zirconia pageant crowns are guarded more safely than the bank across the street. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Shanti had been telling her story at pageant after pageant: How her parents came to this country — the land of dreams and opportunity — from India. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z No wonder Daddy doesn’t want me to do the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z It starts when my mom gets home from church and decides to try her pageant dress on. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Nicole asked, using the pageant terminology for the skills that gave a Miss Teen Dream an edge. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z I pause, painfully reminded of what little family I have coming to see me in the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Why not do one of those drag pageants, win money that way?” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z In the Miss America pageant, the contestants have to prance around the stage in swimsuits. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I’ve always known that the pageant was this huge part of my mom’s life, but it’s never been more than background noise for me. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “For the pageant. Well, I haven’t asked him. But he’s going to be. I think.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z But first, Ladybird, you’ve come under fire recently for your promotion of a pageant that some see as antiquated. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “You can’t talk about the pageant in front of my parents.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “In the pageant of life, a girl fixes the sequins. Fixes. Fixes. So much to fix.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z A little later than his usual start, but I guess this pageant stuff has kept him so busy lately, there isn’t enough time to drink all day. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The salesladies and Mrs. Walton decide I should wear the green, pink, and blue striped silk blouse with pearl buttons and matching blue silk skirt for the interview portion of the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z After dinner TJ and I take a power walk around the neighborhood because according to him, “pageant boot camp has begun.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Learned that move for my first Miss Purdy Boots pageant. It’s got a real nice follow-up that goes something like this!” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z If she let go, her pageant dreams and her secret, more important dream would wash away with it. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “By the way, despite what you and your friends might think, this pageant isn’t some feel-good after-school project where you get an A for effort.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z I finally say, “I probably won’t try out for the pageant anyway. I’m ’a be busy with school, so...” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z And just as Pop Pop predicts, this is the year black women make history at the Miss America pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z To Lefty again, the night of the pageant, taking the streetcar to Cadillac Square and walking into Gold’s Clothes. Middlesex: A Novel 2002-06-05T00:00:00Z Daddy, I want to be in the school pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z When I think back to the night of the pageant, it seems like it was a lifetime ago. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I told Beatriz about keeping the pageant a secret from Daddy. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Plus, she’s been sewing banners, interviewing new judges, and finding sponsors for the pageant, which means she’s checked out of parenthood completely for a few months. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “Don’t she know she too fat to be in a beauty pageant?” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Mrs. Hawkins, sliding onto the piano bench, struck up the chords on the old piano and ended the pageant with, “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” Stella by Starlight 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z “Good morning, Miss Charles. My name is Vanessa Martin. I saw you on television in the Miss America pageant. Congratulations on placing as first runner-up. You did New Jersey proud!” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Hopefully, if I win the pageant, I can use some of that money to buy her something nice. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I sit at my desk, thinking about watching the pageant, anger boiling up inside me worse than a pot of collard greens on a Sunday afternoon. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “Remember the other day when I told you I have a friend sponsoring the school pageant?” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Everyone was there like in some pageant for a dying monarch. Bodega Dreams 2000-03-14T00:00:00Z “Let’s just not take any chances. Is that clear? Now, for something far more jolly, how about we start the day by practicing for the Christmas pageant!” Stella by Starlight 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z But my hopes are shot when TJ replies, “He’s not here today, but he stayed with me last night, and we talked about everything. From Junito to the pageant. No more lies or secrets.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I shuffle back to my room with the old pageant registration form and the ornament. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Unlike the others, she’d entered this cheesy pageant as a revolutionary act. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z She was doing her pageant smile; she was every infomercial I’d ever seen, with me as the studio audience. The Miseducation of Cameron Post 2012-02-07T00:00:00Z She is the opposite of what you might expect from a person who sells pageant crowns. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z I didn’t much care for looking at those men in the pageant. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z After that beauty pageant win and then the acid attack, her face had been all over the news. Burning Blue 2012-10-25T00:00:00Z I wonder if that’s why the pageant has bothered me more this year than in the past. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z She would be a beauty pageant Che Guevara. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “Nessy would like to try out for the school pageant, and I say she oughta,” Pop Pop proudly announces, squaring his shoulders. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z And so we come to the weeks leading up to the graduation pageant. Middlesex: A Novel 2002-06-05T00:00:00Z One for being happy that I made it into the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The community theater downtown was designed with the pageant in mind, which means the women’s dressing room is four times the size of the men’s. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “She done told me about that pageant, Nessy,” Pop Pop says, limping to the door. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Plus, these men in the pageant were just carrying it to the hilt. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z All my life, the pageant has invaded every facet of my world, except for this room. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “I mean, this isn’t the Miss America pageant.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “I’m so sorry, Daddy. But the pageant is tomorrow. I’ve worked so hard.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I stand on the sidelines, watching the rest of the pageant. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z She deserves it more than any other girl in the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “All those pageants — local, city, state. The car rides with my hair in rollers,” Shanti echoed. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “You can’t do the pageant. That wasn’t part of the plan.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The Miss New Jersey pageant is sponsoring a trip for the contestants in our pageant to visit Convention Hall, complete with a pool party at a hotel and dinner at a fancy restaurant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The endless interviews with steel-eyed judges asking if she’d ever sent naked pictures of herself to a boyfriend or anything else that could cast a shadow of scandal over the pageant. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “Let’s just say that at one point in my life, I too wanted to be in the Miss America pageant. Only I didn’t have an opportunity like this.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z We went to the mall and sat on Santa’s lap, and I wore my angel costume again in a holiday pageant at church. Three Little Words: A Memoir 2007-12-27T00:00:00Z But the one thing that puts our little town on the map is that we’re home of the oldest beauty pageant in Texas.

Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “I thought you said the pageant wasn’t racist.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z We take the check and get everything I need for the pageant, plus a little more. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z In the crowd I hear a lady say, “You know they recently crowned a black girl for the first time at the Miss America pageant.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “You know. The shopping, this fancy lunch, accepting me into the pageant even though I fell flat on my behind. I don’t get it. Why me?” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Both of them are glowing just talking about it, and I start to wonder if the pageant has more to do with them than it does with me. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Then I flash back to when I watched the pageant. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z Pop Pop warns him that we can only work on the pageant when Daddy’s not home, which is easy enough since he’s been doing a lot of overtime lately.

Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The employees clapped and cheered as the girls came through, and it was almost like walking up the aisles of the hotel ballrooms where most of the girls had performed in various pageants. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z During pageant rehearsals I stay to myself, trying hard to ignore the staring, the whispers, the she don't stand a chance giggles. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z But slowly, our paths wind closer and closer until Saturday morning when she says, “I’ve got an all-day pageant planning meeting today. We’re gearing up for open registration. There’s tuna salad in the fridge.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “You don’t think the pageant’s a little racist? I mean, in the whole history of the pageant, an African-American girl has only won once — Sherry Sparks.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z She wasn’t a victim or a snob, a pageant queen or an athlete, a scholar or a saint or any of the other things I’d labeled her over the past few months. Burning Blue 2012-10-25T00:00:00Z “I thought she was the beauty pageant lady.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “The dresses, too. And you need new dresses for each pageant.” Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “Wait a minute — you and Ladybird Hope? She’s behind the arms deal? But then . Ladybird Hope knew we were here.

Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z In fact, if Beatriz hadn’t been so busy being hateful and getting disqualified from the pageant, she probably would have won that award hands down. Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “I heard about TJ and the fight and your pageant dress being ruined. All on your birthday too. I’m so, so sorry, Vanessa.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z The girls paraded in their evening gowns as if this night were like any other pageant they’d smiled through. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “I didn’t want to go through with the pageant today, TJ, I swear.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z “But what are you going to do? The pageant is next weekend. I mean, you’re going to be in the paper. And then everyone will know.” Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z I tell you one thing: doing that pageant would be like second nature to you.” Like Vanessa 2018-03-13T00:00:00Z I want to wake her parents up and tell them that their daughter is competing in a beauty pageant, and that she’s going to win. Dumplin' 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z They welcomed the old routine, the surge of adrenaline associated with pageant nights. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z “Don’t you do this.
