3. Are you prepared for vigorous beauty treatments?
It has been 89 grueling, yet fabulous, days of preparing
for the show. Now it is time for the first coat of war
paint, better known as a spray tan. But first you must
rid your entire body of hair. Your entire body! You will
be waxed, exfoliated and have taken your last shower
for the next 48 hours. Wait, what?! 48 hours with no
shower? And you cannot wear deodorant because it
will make your spray tan turn green.
Finally, it is bed time. Remember to put towels on your
bed so you do not rub spray tan onto your sheets. You
cannot risk any moisture making your new tan bleed,
so you do not dare sit on the toilet to pee.
The next day, you will have to go back for a last coat of
spray tan. And by the way, during all this spraying you
will be completely naked.
Now, it is time to show off all of your hard work. Before
walking out on stage, you need a thick layer of stage
makeup to be applied, including eyelashes, bright
lipstick, dark foundation (your face has to match your
body) and of course, sparkly eye-shadow. Big, heavysprayed hair will complete your look. You will slightly
resemble a female impersonator once you are prepared
to walk on stage, but one with a really good body.
Last but not least, you will need to find a trusted, fellow
competitor to glue you into your itty-bitty bikini. Be
careful so you are glued in securely and that you don’t
get some of that spray glue between your cheeks.
Once on you are on stage, none of the gruesome
prep work will matter! You will look awesome because
all of the hard work you put in over the last 90 days.
Everything will pay off once you hit your first pose.
