SOW: How did you get involved with Crowned?
SM: The producers of the show called me, Carson was already attached and I just thought how campy and fun!
SOW:What do you think of the mothers and daughters on the show?
SM: I think some are crazy! And I can't believe how some of them talk to others….but I also met some great woman who really have a great love for one another and they made my experience really fun!
SOW: Did their interactions between each other and the others shock you?
SM: I wasn't able 2 see what went on in the house, I only saw what they did on stage! So yes I'm shocked watching the shows now and seeing some of the woman's behavior! Inspire you? There were 3 teams that truly inspired me, they way they worked together, the love and respect they had for one another….and their personal stories.
SOW: Has this experience changed the way you interact with your daughters?
SM: Lol, no..I try to teach my children to have a love for life, to be confident, to treat others as they would like to be treated. And that won't ever change.
SOW: Would you do a pageant with them?
SM: Oh gosh! I don't think so…my pageant days are over, but I do love them! I would support my kids 100% if they wanted to do one.
SOW: Do you think the teams that have pageant experience had an advantage or all the teams were equal?
SM: I think the teams had a little advantage but not to much, we didn't stick to a strict pageant format, we really wanted to do challenges everyone could do and to find a "real" mother/daughter team that everyone could relate to.
SOW: What do we have to look forward to in the upcoming episodes?
SM: Well I tell everyone, this show isn't rocket science, we aren't trying to cure cancer, its a reality show, its suppose to be fun and silly yet have crazy drama and shocking moments and this show does! We do have a huge pageant finale show and it’s really cool for the finale!
SOW: What advice do you have for mothers who want to get their daughters into the pageants?
SM: The most beautiful woman to me, are the ones who are truly comfortable in their own skin, I've judged many pageants and not the most beautiful always wins, I find its the woman who radiates confidence. So I tell woman to be themselves and stand by their morals and values.
SOW: How was it being the Judge and not being judged?
SM: I LOVED it, it’s something I know a lot about and I could just relax and have fun! U see me serious a lot but the judges and I had a blast and laughed the entire time…
SOW: What do your daughters think of the show?
SM: Only my oldest has seen it and she thinks it’s silly and fun, she giggles and at the same time thinks its fun to see the teams choices….
SOW: Did you ask any of the Dancing with the Star Judges for advice on how to be on for this show?
SM: Lol! NO! I love those guys but they were really tough on me! I am a little tough but I still really want the teams to have a good time! I know how nervous they are….
SOW: Has Carson Kressley given you any fashion advice?
SM: Ugh! I wish! Next time I see him I should have him help me! We never had to much time to get into advice but god I love him, he's so fun and witty…it was a blast working with him and Cynthia!
