❤️Happy Tuesday!! I want to introduce you to my friend, Ryanne Saucier, who after losing 63 lbs (and keeping it off for over a year!) and creating health has started helping others to set health goals and reach them! I’ve known Ryanne a long time, and seeing her find peace in this area of her life is truly a joy.

🎄What better gift to give yourself, friends and family than investing in becoming the healthiest version of yourself?

✔️Reach out to her if you or anyone you love would love the gift of health for Christmas! I’m tagging her in the comments below!

🤫I’ve been quietly holding in a secret that I can now share with you ALL! It’s an incredible gift 🎁for all of us after two long years of an incredibly rough world. 🎄The Klamath Falls Singing Christmas Tree will return this holiday season! 📆Tomorrow I’m making the trip down to add my holiday magic to this show which is already bustling and underway with creative elves from all over Oregon. I’ll be choreographing the entire production and making a return to the stage along with some other absolutely phenomenal talent. Make plans to bring your family now! It’s Christmas!!

Hi friends-

It is with bittersweet emotion that we share with all of you that our incredible journey with West Coast Pageant Productions has come to a close. Throughout the last five years we have found so much in joy in our small part in growing the organization and have relished in seeing each of you grow and succeed as part of our contributions to the entire experience.

The amount of love, support, and talent we have shared and poured into everyone involved has been so rewarding but, as we all know, in order to fill everyone’s else’s cup you must make time to pour into your own. Someone reminded us recently that you should always choose family first. We have listened and agreed and come to the right conclusion that we need to focus on our family and take care of each other in order to achieve all the things we hope to accomplish. For five years, we have worked tirelessly to make other people’s dreams come true. And now it is time for us to give ourselves the same opportunity. Because the organization is growing so fast, taking part has become a full time job. That on top of our own non-pageant jobs has left us with little time to invest in each other - especially the future we have in mind, but keep putting on hold for the sake of others.

What does this mean for WCPP? Nothing but good things! We are certain that the group is in great hands and will continue to grow and thrive at a level consistent with the talents and commitment of the people who remain.

What does this mean for you all? We have always and continue to pledge our unending support for all of you in your pageant and personal journeys. We are in constant awe of the incredible people you have been and have become and will continue to be your biggest cheerleaders - only now from a different point of view. And from here, the view is amazing and the future looks bright.

A few takeaway lessons to share with you as we transition into a new pace and focus on life:

1. Gratitude is the key to success. Your appreciation and love have been the fuel that kept us going through years of exhausting and heartfelt work in growing the organization and all of you. Please never lose sight of that. Appreciation can make or break a human spirit. Never forget to thank those who have poured into you. Do it often. Do it regularly.
2. The spirit you all have within you, the energy and excitement of competition, and that personal sparkle never came from us. We were just the lights that showed you where you were always holding onto it yourself. Never forget that. And keep on shining! Push yourself as we have always pushed each and everyone of you.
3. Continue to bring out the best and wish the best for everyone around. Do not lose sight of your “why” when doing anything. You will certainly be lost without it. Life is so much better with a passion and purpose. Create an environment where everyone feels appreciated and valued.

People will ask what we need right now. We have each other and we have a laundry list of things we’re already working on for our future. We see you, we know you have been appreciative, and right now we just need space to grow. The women who are completing their years and the contestants need your full support and attention. The remaining team at WCPP needs your full support. That’s all we ask. Let’s focus on the mission at hand and the women who need all of our support.

This is not goodbye. This is “see you from the audience”! Thank you for an incredible journey.

Our best work is not yet done. In fact, we have some big (and very small) productions already in the works in our lives. *Hopefully* our greatest projects to date. It is time for our dreams to come to true.

With so much love and glitter,

Christopher and Mark ❤️

The reviews are in! I am confident in saying that the women at Oregon and Washington are a 10 Out Of 10! Thank you to the many women who have reached and been so gracious, kind, and shared words of appreciation. It makes the stress and hard work of the weekend wash away into joy. Gratitude can change peoples’ entire lives and mindset and fuel a heart and soul. I have seen so many posts and received so many private messages. You all are the reason I do what I do. This has been a year to remember. I thank you all for making an impact on me and know you all will continue to touch others. I’ll be watching and cheering you on from near and afar! 💋❤️👑🙏🏼

I have some new, exciting things lined up to share soon! Including one with with a well-known Queen (of course). Stay tuned. 📺

Here’s a sample of the queens’ true hearts-

Day 13: Transformation Tuesday

I’ve always felt like I see the same person in the mirror. The biggest change has come from within.

Here’s a look at me over the years. No, I did not get a perm. My hair is naturally curly . . . 😭😂🤣

Day Ten: Wardrobe Sneak Peek

We wear all black backstage so it’s not a huge surprise. BUT our team is typically super extra. So here’s a look at some of our wardrobe looks from the past.
