Beauty Pageant Walk

I have been told I have a BEAUTY PAGEANT WALK. Okay, if truth be told, I generally do this promenade around the yard just before I . . . you know . . . I . . . uh . . . do my bidness. In any case, I have a few tips for all of you to help you perfect this way of presenting yourself AS I DO.

Correct Posture
It is important to show off your good lines and toned muscles. Good posture makes you look elegant and healthy. I think it makes me look a little TALLER as well - something we pint size pugs can improve on. Besides, good posture just makes me look DIVINE!

A Relaxed Gait

Nothing projects confidence more than an easy, relaxed walk. It shows that you practiced and that your walk is more like second nature than a stilted, forced walk. I think it also gives me the essential California Girl free and easy attitude that all the world recognizes. With my blonde highlights, I am ready for the amusement park or the surfside snack shack.

Face the Judges and SMILE

What better way to say I DESERVE THIS ATTENTION than to look the audience and "judges" right in the eye and SMILE? Any of my regular readers out there knows that I am particularly adept at smiling. It is MY THING, for sure. And the end of the runway, as in this picture, I also like to add a little bow, just to add a little humbleness to the portrait I am painting of myself.

That about covers the BEAUTY PAGEANT WALK. I know with enough practice and patience that you too will become as comfortable with it as I am. I am branching out and adding it to my walks and not just when I do my . . . uh . . . bidness.

After all we really are all beauty queens, aren't we. At least that is what MY MOMMY always call me.
