back to reality.



What an incredible weekend!
We started Sunday off with oatmeal and orange juice at the hotel, they also had Texas shaped waffles, then again, everything is shaped like the state of TX, in Texas.
We met up in our talent wear, I was wearing cute short shorts, knee highs, pink converse, and a pink tank top, and you may ask what was my talent? Hula Hooping!
I must admit I have gotten pretty good at it in the short time I have had to practice, but of course I let my nerves get the best of me, and I completely froze, and couldn't do it for very long on stage. It was still fun though, and I smiled and laughed it off. Hah!



As the result of all my hula hooping through the weekend. I swear, I was hula hopping on the bed, on the balcony, on the floor, and well, of course on stage, and it shows!


Sarah had cake decorating as her talent, and she had pre-baked the cutest little cookies, which she decorated with a yellow rose of Texas, a white border, and "miss tattoo" in pink frosting. It was so cute!!


After talent we had to get ready for the pin up portion of the pageant, and the theme was cow girl. So many cute outfits! We got up on stage, posed, smiled and posed again for photos, and done.





Sarah and I walked around for a few hours, got some fresh air, some food, and made new friends. The crowning was at 7, everyone was so nervous. Jennifer did her speech, and it was super emotional.
Emily walked away as 2nd runner up, Mizuz Inkaholic got 1st runner up, and Sarah, of course got crowned Miss Tattoo Dallas. There were also two wild cards, that were given to Keisha and Gina. I am of course bummed I didn't place, but also so Incredible proud, and happy that Sarah won! <3
It was one of the best weekends i have ever had, and I met some amazing people, and made new friends. So fun!





After the crowning we posed for more photos, said goodbye to all the girls, and packed up our stuff. I had an appointment to get tattooed by a new friend, Adrian Evans, so we headed over to his booth. We didn't get started till around 11pm, and by the time we were finished with the shading, we decided to head out with them, and other people from the convention. Fun! 




Adrian and I instantly hit it off when we realized we know the same people, and I am super happy to have made a new friend and found a new tattoo artist that I love! We'll be finishing my arm, and I think I'm gonna have him do my knee also, in a few months! Fun! :) 

It's gonna take a few weeks for the photographer to edit all the photos, but I will share them once they arrive <3




Thanks again for all the support, you guys are incredible <3
I am about to head to work, I have some really fun tattoos scheduled for this week! I'm all smiles :)

Have a lovely day!
xoxo.

For en opplevelse for livet! :D Kjipt at du ikke fikk plassering, ut i fra det jeg kan se av bildene synes jeg du burde definitivt vært i teten i det minste! Men - uansett - tøft gjort! :D

Wow! That looks like it was so fun! I have a few friends who were at Musink last weekend (I live in Houston). The new tat is great, and I hope you enjoyed your trip to the great state of Texas... (I thought it was really funny you said everything is shaped like Texas here lol, it's true)
