In June 1994, when she was three and a half yrs old, JonBenét wore pink chiffon when she attended the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Miss West Virginia Pageant to watch former Miss West Virginia sisters, her own mother and Aunt Pam, as they performed Gershwin. Patsy drifted through that past year with tough cancer scans and treatments and, consequently, had lost weight. Svelte-figured Patsy, after the reconstructive augmentation and chin implant, hid her body's scars from "stem to stern" by purchasing a lovely, fitting, red gown for a stunning live on-stage performance.

JonBenét hung her 1st place medal for talent around her daddy's neck when he arrived too late to watch her performance. It was a sentimental item Aunt Pam snagged during her seemingly unconditional raid of the Ramsey home. Once again, it was presented to John forever.
* Miss Colorado Sunburst, October 1996, was a large national competition with over 200 little girls competing for such prizes as gift certificates, savings bonds, stereos, bikes, dolls, toys, etc.
* "JonBenét's mother, Patsy Ramsey, was in the market for some custom made costumes at a local pageant called Dream Star held in Rome, GA, over Thanksgiving weekend 1996. After striking up a conversation with Faye in a restaurant, Patsy asked about the outfits she was selling. Patsy ended up buying Rayanna's fancy white pageant dress, made of silk organza. One month later, JonBenet was buried in it."

Good Housekeeping Magazine, Feb., 1999
In 1995, JonBene't participated in two (2) professional photo shoots. From April 1996 - December 1996, JonBenet attended five professional photo shoots or seven (7) in two (2) years.
The Randy Simon session cost over two thousand dollars not including the tremendous wardrobe. It has been estimated that Patsy spent a hundred grand on JonBenét's brief career in pageant competitions.
Trophies:
JonBenét won 27 trophies most of which were displayed in the children's playroom. Schiller got it wrong. There is photographic evidence of the 23 trophies being stacked in the play area plus two (2) tall trophies. Also, there were two (2)very tall trophies standing on either side of JonBenét's bedroom closet door. One tall trophy is knocked over.
1999 February 18 - Lawrence Schillers book, "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town
Page 83:
"The third-floor master bedroom had a cathedral ceiling and a view of the Flatirons. A framed print of red flowers hung over the fireplace. The king-size bed had a 4-foot-high hand-carved headboard. A rider workout machine sat beside an exercise bicycle. A corner desk held a computer. Displayed on the floor and shelves were
twenty-three of JonBenet's pageant trophies. In a children's play area stood a 5-foot-tall pageant trophy next to one that measured 8-feet-1."
Page 82:
"JonBenet's closet was stuffed with clothes. A small TV set with a built-in VCR sat on a shelf inside her closet. Other shelves had dozens of cartoon and Shirley Temple videos. To the right of the closet stood a pageant
trophy as tall as the light switch.
Another trophy was even taller. There was a floor-to-ceiling Christmas tree in the room, too. In her bathroom hung an original pastel, called 'Tea for Two' by a Boulder artist."
Thomas Haney and Patsy Ramsey June 1998 Interview:
CSPhoto #010
0261-03) TRIP DeMUTH: You can see the
trophy laying down?
PATSY RAMSEY: Right, yeah.
THOMAS HANEY: Does that look
unusual now that you have had a better look at it?
PATSY RAMSEY: It just seems like I took all of them, but that big one, to the playroom and put them up on the shelf because there was so many of them, and she had them all stacked around here.
CSP #015
0264-09) TRIP DeMUTH: What about
these crowns on the floor there, is that
unusual? Is that what that is?
PATSY RAMSEY:
Yeah, that's
a little crown. Well, see, she kept them up here. You know, bumped it or something, they might fall off. Played with them, you know.
CSP #018
(0265-22) THOMAS HANEY: Number 18?
TRIP DeMUTH: How about the red item in the upper right-hand corner?
PATSY RAMSEY: I think it's a little turtleneck, a little cotton turtleneck, and I had wanted her to wear it to the Whites and she didn't want to wear it.
TRIP DeMUTH: How did it end up there?
PATSY RAMSEY: Don't remember.
A crown. Oh, God.
....
Why can't Patsy admit it looked
unusual for the
trophy to be knocked over as shown in CSP#010?
Yet, it was
not unusual for the BP
crowns to be on the floor #015? Why did seeing picture #018 with a
crown on JonBenét's bathroom floor or countertop seem to upset Patsy compared to when seeing the
crowns on the floor in her daughter's bedroom when she responded easily?
OMO This is the best data that I established regarding JBRs pageant participation. Feel free to embellish or ---> out corrections or ignore it.
