NYWoman, that is great. I recall watching those pageants with my mom, siblings and anyone else who was with us that night. We actually used pens and papers and tried to see who could pick Miss America each year. Fun memories.

My problem as a kid was that I wanted to be so many different things. If we went to the ice show, I wanted to be a professional ice skater - a parade, I left wanting to be a majorette - a sporting event, a player or the coach. Boy was I easily convinced

I just strolled down the Micky Mouse website and my goodness what a wonderful trip. I was shocked about some of the direction lives took and sad about others...my favorite, Darlene, ended up in prison...good grief...and poor Karen ended up in a wheel chair...who would have thought. I'll go back and read more but thanks for the connection again. Ahhhhh....those were the good old days when kids were kids and not made to look like sex symbols at 12.

Oh, I loved the beauty pageants as a kid. For years from age 6 or so and on, My three little neighborhood girlfriends and me would plan our pageant for days in the summer. The big day would come (in my basement...fresh flowers from the garden and all) where we'd all dress up and hold the gala event. A few neighborhood boys were the audience and udually bored to tears that we somehow made them sit there and put up with it. My dad still has a few photos of this in the family album and I'm going to retrieve one to post on here!

hahahaha....I'm not sure adorable is the word! Oh and if I can fight with Dad and run from the house with more pics I'll bring a couple of me as a mascot majorette....the later pictures of that are too scary.

LJ, I recall putting on shows in our driveway. That's when my oldest sister organized them and had all the little neighborhood kids involved. What a hoot.

I only remember one time when we put on a show - I was about 8, and was staying overnight at a school friend's house. We organized this parade, there were about 15 of us, we all had "instruments" and marched around the entire neighborhood singing (at the top of our lungs) "76 Trombones". I love that memory, it was such glorious fun.

Dotsie, I was a lot like you...I wanted to do figure skating, tap dancing, baton twirling, be a majorette and play a gazillion different instruments...anything and everything!
