Beauty Pageant

The beauty pageant is the center of the storyline in iWas a Pageant Girl. It is a competition that involves girls competing with their appearances, self-introductions, responses to questions about current situations, and talent performances.

Sam used to compete in the pageants, competing with LeAnn Carter who won the pageant 99 times consecutively. When Sam hears about this from her classmate Tara, she forces Carly to compete against her since Sam had been banned from competing for seven years because people believed she pushed LeAnn down the stairs, which was not true. At the pageant, Sam finds out that her seven years has passed and she can compete again, so she does, finally defeating LeAnn.
