(SINGING) Pageant day, pageant day!
All right, my favorite day!
Pageant day, say, whoop, whoop!
ALL: Whoop, whoop!
All right, y'all, listen.
This is it.
This is pageant day.
This is what we've been working the whole time for.
Addison, we getting ready to hook you up!
Y'all, give it for Addison for being her first--
OK.
[cheering]
I see girls in makeup, and I'm dreading it.
I was like, oh, gosh, this is about to be me in five minutes.
I mean, we don't have long, girls.
Let's rock this thing, OK?
All right. chop, chop.
Pageant day is probably the most stressful day.
You never bring everything you're supposed to bring.
Your hair never looks right.
Your teeth are not white enough.
It's just a lot of nerves.
How do you feel?
Good.
- Feel good about the tap dance? - Mm-hmm.
This was a semi-glitz pageant, and there's different
kinds of pageants.
So we had to doll this little girl up.
You see how this contour right here--
Mm-hmm.
--gives you that shadow?
And look how it makes your neck look longer.
I know, I look like Drea.
KIM: That's what you want to look like.
We really gave her the once over.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Tell me what you think.
I look way different.
Do you like it?
Mm-hmm.
I do you too.
When I turned around in the mirror, I thought I--
who is this person trapped in my body, looking like this?
How do you feel?
Good.
I think it looks good.
I feel good.
It's different, right?
Mm-hmm.
Different good or different bad?
Different good.
I love it.
When she was done, I could not believe it.
You are my masterpiece.
Actually, Addison was beautiful
after she was all dolled up.
I really saw Maura and Ainsley looking worried.
All the moms and I were like, wow, this girl's competition.
Addison, Addison, Addison, when you get out there, listen.
I want you doing this.
[scatting to jazz beat]
WOMAN: Exactly.
But do it, do it, do it!
I was very nervous.
I had no idea how this thing was going to roll.
I didn't know if she was going to be able to handle it,
to handle the pressure, and to perform.
[ragtime music]
Addison's facial expressions, her opening her mouth,
like Kim was teaching her how to do it--
I mean, I really saw another side of her,
and I am so proud of her.
Nice job, Addy!
Nice job!
First timer.
Good job.
I messed up so bad!
No, you didn't.
You didn't know?
I forgot it.
I just-- it just went blank, so I just did something.
We got gold, people.
If you can get on stage, forget what you're doing,
and make it up as you go, you're a winner.
HOST: We will move on to our on-stage question.
Let's welcome back contestant number six, Addison.
[applause]
Girl, for her first time, I'm dying.
I swear, that kid.
I feel like I'm on stage for the first time.
I feel like I've just given birth.
Without an epidural.
HOST: Addison, tell us what you have done in your life
that has made you the happiest.
Going to a dance competition in 2009 in New York City
has always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl.
And I love to dance.
I just love everything about it.
It was a blast.
I had a great time with all my family and friends.
[applause]
When I looked at the judges, and I saw they were seeing
what I was seeing, I knew this kid could
possibly win this pageant.
[cheering]
I'm so nervous.
You have no idea.
I mean, seriously, sick to my stomach.
I could up a little bit in my mouth.
In fact, I did.
HOST: Our first runner-up is contestant number 13, Ainsley.
WOMAN: Good job, Ainsley.
Good job.
That was a shocker, Ainsley getting first runner-up.
You know, she wins everything she's in.
So that had to be a Debbie Downer for her, for sure.
HOST: And our queen is contestant
number 6, Addison Quinn.
[screaming and cheering]
When one of my girls wins, it feels like I'm winning.
I'm right up there with them, heart and soul.
It felt the bomb to win.
I was so shocked.
I was like, what the crap?
Yes!
I could not believe that was her on stage.
And I actually saw a lady, and I actually
saw a huge transformation.
Kim performed a miracle.
Oh my god!
You did it!
You did it, you did it!
Let's [inaudible].
[vocalizing]
Oh my gosh!
Addison, you look gorgeous.
