First of Many

I promised my friends that I would do a better job at updating this blog than my tumblr so here goes a post about my first event as Miss Michigan Amazing!

Getting Ready for the Parade

I had the honor of representing Michigan Amazing Pageant in the Royal Oak Holiday Magic Parade. Growing up, I went to parades annually with my parents. I was always impressed by the talented high school bands, the variety of vehicles from unicycles to antique cars , and of course, the beautifully creative floats. However, as a young girl, my favorite part was always waving to the strangers that passed by, especially the beauty queens. I would turn to my mom and say, "She waved at me! Did you see?!" And today, I wasn't the young girl standing beside her mom, I was the girl with a crown on my head in my very own convertible.

What a beautiful car!

It was about 19 degrees but with my hand warmers and beautiful fur scarf, I was ready to rock the parade! As soon as our Chevy Camaro hit Lincoln street, I waved like an excited child at the families before me. I was thoroughly enjoying myself, laughing and smiling as we went down the parade! I loved hearing "Look, it's Miss Michigan Amazing!" and "It's Karen Tang!" as our car drove by. I was continuously waving to everyone because I remember loving the waves I received from the parade participants. I hope I made their day just like they made mine. The smiles and waves from the residents of Royal Oak made the cold a little bit warmer and I couldn't be happier to have been a part of this experience!

Happy to be a part of the MAG Pageant family! <3

So excited to meet Paws! Go Tigers!
