The eight-part series documents the lives of beauty pageant contestants — the stories of young women as they prepare and train for competition — shopping for their sometimes outrageously expensive wardrobes, training their bodies and even hiring special coaches to fine tune their interview and presentation skills.
On this week’s episode, Wettach is making one last desperate run for her dream crown — Miss Iowa — before she ages out of the pageant system. But as the episode shows, winning a pageant just to qualify for the state title is proving to be a lot harder than she ever expected. She must hone her interview skills, deal with body issues and try to handle criticism from her coach and father.
According to MTV, “Tiara Girls” depicts what motivates pageant participants, the often significant role that parents play in guiding their children’s aspirations, how they deal with victory or loss and explore their ultimate goals in living the life of a beauty pageant contestant.
Wettach has won several pageant titles, including Miss Burlington and Miss Iowa National Teenager. She was a runner-up in the 2005 Miss Iowa pageant, won by UI alumna Kay Pauszek.
Wettach, a junior communications major at UI, has turned her pageant experience into a successful business. She started her first company, Premier Prom & Pageantry, as a 17-year-old high school senior. She still operates it from a storefront in downtown Mount Pleasant.
After owning her own apparel business for two years, she discovered an untapped specialty market for pageant suits. She then launched the Megan Amanda Collection, a line of pageant interview suits and prom dresses, which has clientele from across the U.S. The clothing line is exclusively designed for Wettach's Megan Amanda collection by designers as far away as Brazil, Russia, New York and China as well as in Iowa.
