Mr. Braveman 2009

My nephew Andrew 'competed' on Friday night in the Bountiful High School Mr. Braveman 2009 Competition. He needed a little princess escort for the event, and McKinley was more than thrilled that he chose her! ;) In case you don't know about the Mr. Braveman (it IS a well-know pageant ;), it is a male beauty pageant of sorts consisting of Bountiful High School seniors representing their group (Mr. Football, Mr. Choir, Mr. Lacrosse, etc.). They performed an awesome opening number to none other than Brittney Spears' Womanizer, then they each competed in the talent portion with talents such as lip syncing, limbo (Andrew's talent, unfortunately the sight of him in a coconut bra and grass skirt had me laughing so hard I forgot to take pictures ;), sock-puppet duets, and a Zoolander-style modeling 'walk-off' (complete with the signature underwear move). Finally, they were each escorted by a little princess (Andrew's was the cutest, and I am NOT biased at all ;), and asked an important random question which they were to answer on-stage. There was of course, the 'like such as the Iraq and like such as...' answer, and a mix of serious and fun responses. Andrew's question was "What bothers you most about the world today," to which he replied "when people stop while exiting the freeway, even when there is a designated exit lane and a sign that says 'do not stop'." That is a very good point, and after the judges voted, it must have been the icing on the cake, because Andrew won and is now the reigning Mr. Braveman!
Andrew is in the red shirt front and center, you gotta admit, the kid has got moves ;)My camera ran out of memory, so I only got about a 15-second video clip of their dance, but it was hilarious!

...more Womanizer moves...Mr. Braveman 2009 with his lovely little escort McKinley, Miss Davis County, and my cute nephew JoshAndrew totally made her week! She loved every minute of it, and to top it off he gave her his flowers, which she made me put in a vase on the kitchen table the minute we got home.

What a fun night!
