The Mr. West pageant was tonight. We started with our choreographed dance; they screwed up the music, so for like 5 seconds, we were all standing there like what's going on? So we ended up not doing like 1/5 of the dance. But, anyways, I think that it went pretty smoothly overall. The crowd went crazy when I did my tornado kick into splits, (even though I did it rather poorly,) haha. I asked Mike (my kung fu classmate), who saw it, and he said it was pretty bad, hahaha- oh well, to the untrained eye, it's still like the coolest thing ever, hahaha!
After that, we had the spirit wear competition. Since I was representing the science fair club (LASER), I went out in shorts with just a lab coat and no shirt (if you missed it, you'll probably never get another chance to see me dressed so skimpily). I wore goggles and latex gloves too, and I had some dry ice and a graduated cylinder full of water. I put the water and dry ice together to make movie smoke as I was walking, but it reacted a lot slower than I anticipated, so it didn't look as cool as it shoulda. =/ Then there was the evening wear competition- nothing special.
I was pretty amazed when I made it into the top 12 (out of like 25-ish guys). That means I'm gonna be in the calendar! =) While we were waiting to perform our talents, some of my friends (who weren't competing) did this dance to "Lady Marmalade"- it was hilarious cuz they (all guys) were dressed like the singers in the music video! They mimicked the video pretty well, I'd say- dance moves and all, hahaha. I thought that was like the funniest thing all evening.
My fan dance was alright I guess... I panicked and went too fast, so after I finished all the moves, I started making stuff up. It was hardly noticeable though, haha. I had real make-up this time, too! (Took an eternity to wash off, haha.) Man, I got so nervous that I forgot all the fancy footwork though, I just like walked through the whole thing. Oh, and I forgot to giggle or smile, too, d'oh!
I actually made it into the top 5! They did the interview questions then. Man, I got seriously shafted: like half the guys got "Why do you want to be Mr. West?" as their question, but mine was "Which one of the contestants would you date?" Man, that's like so unfair... I only talked for about 5, maybe 10 seconds. Needless to say, I sucked it up, haha. So out of the top 5, I was #5.
After it was over, the LASER people gave me a bouquet of flowers. Pretty spiff- thanks guys. =)
