Pageant update

I got the final copies of music done for the pageant. I had trusted a good friend with cutting in some clips from the Cinderella movie. He then took two songs from Linda Eder and put them together on the same track.  He was having some issues with the clarity of the sound. He tried some old school tricks and bam… at 11 pm last night, it all came together.  My MUSIC is Done!
Also I worked on applying rhinestones to my gown. It looks amazing!  I threw every stone I had on that gown.  The fit is great.  The shoes match perfect. Overall evening gown category is complete. My wig/hair pieces are prepared. I am borrowing jewelry from a good friend.  My GOWN is Done! 
I will continue to work on talent costumes today. Things are really starting to come together.
I also wanted to share with you an email I got from a bar patron in Gun Barrel City. Gun Barrel City is located on Cedar Creek Lake about 1 hour south east of Dallas. They have two small gay bars and a supportive gay community. I was booked at Garlow’s in Gun Barrel City last weekend. The bar staff made sure every thing I needed was taken care of.  Every one was friendly and full of energy.  This email really made my day:
Mattie,  We came with friends to see you at Garlow’s last Saturday night. You are just fantastic! You have so much talent, such elegance, and poise. We look forward to seeing you again, Dixie Smith.
I am so glad that the crowd enjoys what I do. I had a great night at Garlow’s.  I hope to come back again soon.
