    Default Miss Nude Oregon 2008

    So, after trying to get up the nerve to do this for about two years, I am going to run for Miss Nude Oregon this year. I don't expect to win really, but my goal is to place in the top 3.

    If anyone in Portland wants to come out and support me, prelims are May 1st at Dolphin 2, Semifinals are May 15th at Dolphin 1, and Finals are June 19th at Dolphin 2.

    I also may need girls to be in the theme sets I'm thinking up. I haven't got my ideas fully formed yet, but if anyone would be interested let me know!

    ...I'm so nervous!

    dude I'll be in your theme set if you want me to

    I thought about running too, but it's a popularity/seniority contest from what I've perceived... and I have neither of those being a minor dancer and only having worked at the dolphin clubs for 9 months. It will be fun nonetheless though!! and generate a lot of customers in the clubs.

    It is kind of a seniority contest...but I am really unsure as to how the winner is decided. I've heard they pick customers to judge and I've heard that the owners/managers decide. There are never judges made known to the audience.

    I sent a message to Carl at pdxblackbook about writing a blog for the site about my experience doing the contest. I think it would be fun to document it, I haven't heard back yet.

    I will let you know when I get my theme sets figured out! The one I would need "helpers" for would be the prelims at D1 on the 15th. I think its going to involve whipped cream but I have to get permission to make a mess...

    Don't do anything too elaborate for the prelims. They are totally a formality. I will most definitely come be in your cheering section when I am in town!

    Hmmm...I'm not going super elaborate, but the fun for me in doing this is getting a chance to put on some of the wacky theme sets I've thought up over the years. I actually already have the outfits for the first two in my stripper outfit arsenal, and I have my final set worked out.

    It would be great to see you there! When you get back let me know...I know I've been flaky on getting together with the PDX girls but now that I have successfully seperated from my (now) ex, I have a lot more time on my hands to go do girly things. I'm also no longer working any non-stripping jobs as of very recently. This open schedule is heavenly.

    Hey, have fun, that is great -- all I'm saying is you'll be the only one doing a theme at the prelims/semis if previous contests are an indicator.

    I am in town now but as always that changes weekly

    Yay, I'll be there! We'll have a nifty little SW cheering section for you!

    Popularity is definitely a big part of it... but hey, also, think about the commitment you give to the title if you win. It's kind of like being a feature in that you have to stretch that title for as much as you can if you do win, really become public, etc. Entering for the fun and pageantry is the best part.

    And one day we definitely need to hang out! I'm super busy right now with work and travel, but I'd love to do something with you one day.

    Honestly, I would LOVE to win it, but I do know who I am competing against and I doubt it would happen. Also the fact that I have no idea how its judged or if its pre-determined. I'm glad you girls are going to come see it though, that will give me a lot more confidence!

    I am going to get pictures taken for pdxblackbook soon though and I'm going to start trying to promote myself. Cause hey, you never know...

    Yes, let me know when you are less busy. Now that I'm happily "divorced" I have a lot more free time!

    I'm pretty sure anastasia79 (anastacia?) competed last year... I think you know her IRL, maybe you could talk to her?

    Talk to Natalia, last year's winner. She seems like a pretty cool gal to me.

    Hehe, I actually am friends with Natalia, if you look at the pdxblackbook forums we've been talking already about it. I love that girl, she is the ultimate superstripper and completely genuine at the same time.

    I think I've got a few ideas worked out now. I'm going to keep the first two rounds simple with costumes I already have and nothing too fancy. The finals though, I'm busting it out. How would one affix a few hundred diamond sequins to oneself? Somewhere in between superglue and elmers I would think...

    oh dur. Haven't looked at BB in a while.

    Liquid latex, eyelash adhesive, spirit gum. Actually, with spirit gum, it's strong enough to where you could totally stick a ton of actual rhinestones to yourself. If I am here I absolutely volunteer to help with that duty. I know someone a couple of years ago used superglue and sequins, but I wouldn't like flaking and picking off all the superglue. ick. At least for the other options you have removers to use.

    Sweet. "Hey Susan, could you come over here and rhinestone my ass please?"

    I got this idea from a Playboy that came out probably 4 months ago. This one will be for the finals.

    There actually is something to bringing your "A" game to the prelims, the customers will remember at the finals and a huge part of the judging is audience reaction.

    I do agree to not spend a fortune on new theme costumes or tons of props for the prelims. Think porn-star-feature-dancer when doing the prelims. Do something fun to interact with the customers, make it memorable for them (have custies pour hot wax on you, or baby oil or whipped topping or whatever) but don't blow a bunch of money in developing the themes for those first two shows.

    Pull out all the stops for the finals. It will make a huge difference. Dolphin picks who is going to win ahead of time. That's how it has been for years and years. They own the pageant therefore, they also make sure a reliable house dancer is going to hold the title. I was able to take first-runner-up in 2004, and I was a Star's girl. So, after the title itself, it is totally possible to place in the contest.

    The best advice I can offer is to bring your theme out in every aspect of the contest. For instance, if you are doing a vampire theme, answer the questions with vampires in mind, wear an evening gown that has a vampire look, make sure your hair and makeup exude vampireness, hand out something to the audience members that is vampireish (like those cheap plastic teeth or something) so that they remember you.

    If you stay consistent, it makes you more memorable when it is time to take the stage for your show. I also recommend trying to get on stage last or close to last (if you can swing it at all). Many girls want to get their stage sets done and over with and are more than happy to give up their late stage spot for an early time. Since you have extra time until you perform, get out there and hustle, hustle, HUSTLE! Try to personally greet every single person in the club before you get on stage. They will feel a personal connection to you and are more likely to cheer for you when it is time for the judging. If you must go first (or close to first) you better be pretty damn fantastic and have something extremely memorable in your show. Because after 25+ girls even the most sober customer won't be able to remember the girl that went first and did a school girl or Cop theme, no matter how talented her actual dance performance was.

    Having campaign supporters in the audience couldn't hurt, either. If other girls are helping with the show itself, have them work the room, too. Make sure they are in theme, as well (going back to the vampire example, they could have on long black wigs and fake teeth etc.). Having your helpers hold up signs in support of you is good too. This will cement in the minds of the customers your name (sometimes it is hard to hear the DJ) and they will see that you have so much support already they will be expecting the show to be fabulous. Male minds are optimistic that way, you tell them how great something is and they try to convince themselves that it is, indeed great.

    Good luck! I'll try to make it to the finals. I love those kind of shows. It is nice to see the girls really working their own creativity to the max like that.

    Hmm...though I can see it being rigged, as far as I know this year, there isn't a favorite picked out. The past few years it was pretty obvious who was going to win. However, they might totally have someone I don't know about. Last year only six girls from the Dolphin competed. It might even be smaller this year. So far only three girls have announced they are competing, though its still very early.

    I've started mentioning it to every customer I sit with. I'm just going to try to have a major cheering section. I also will probably start handing out fliers with my name and picture and the dates of the contest.

    If you have the resources, I'd also recommend printing up shwag with your promo info on it . I remember a couple of years ago for Burlesque entertainer of the year (I think that was the title? I think Miss Germany won...) girls did things like print up business cards that were designed like presidential campaign info. You can get 1000+ of those printed up for a minimal investment. I think hearts has a post about her cards on SW somewhere?

    i think if we can fit a couple in, we can video tape them for you to take home and practice (do you have a pole? i forget?) or at the very least you come during our open pole play (my other instructor will be there) to practice.
