Pack It In!

I'm working on packing my show bag (or should I say luggage?!?!) for Saturday....I usually pack more than I need but I believe it's better to have more than you need versus less!

I think what you take with you backstage really comes down to a matter of preference but here are some places you can go to view lists of what you need or see what other competitors bring with them.

• Siouxcountry's thread entitled "Packing List for Figure Competition" - what I love about this thread is that it's not a set list. The list has expanded over time as members of the board add to it!

• The Fabulous Becca over at A Blog?! Srsly?! is competing this weekend so she wrote her "Over-Packers Anonymous" post about what she takes with her backstage.

• One of my fave ladies Donloree of Bikini or Bust compiled her own list of must-haves in her "A Touch of OCD Never Hurt!" post

It looks like I'm going on a trip!

Here's some of what you will find in my backstage bag......

• Wig
• Extra set of yoga pants & jacket
• Dixie cups (to pee in!)
• Jewelry
• First aid kit (you never know when someone might need a band-aid or alcohol wipe!)
• Tampons
• Bobby pins
• Bikini Bite
• Jan Tana Hi Def glaze & hand towel 
• Safety pins
• ipod & headphones
• books & magazines
• E600 glue & baggie of extra stones
• Listerine 

I also take a yoga mat, pillow, and blanket so I can lay down and rest...it's nice to have a comfy place to rest while you're waiting for your turn on stage!!

With that said, I need to stop blogging & start packing! :)
