We've often wondered what inspires Katy Perry's outrageous sense of style (especially that fruit motif), but the singer has cleared some things up for us on her blog. It turns out Katy was once a pageant girl! "To tell you the truth, my mom entered me in one or two of these things," Katy writes. "The first one I got second place. It wasn't a hard race. Just between a couple of other girls in the grocery store and then I faintly remember doing a real pageant when we lived in Lake Havasu, Arizona." Does Katy see any similarities between her pageant days and now? "Even though I am 24, I still wear those same outfits and still have my hair and makeup done like that. I am them," she writes. "Plus I know exactly what I'd say if any question was picked out of a fish bowl. I mean, I've done probably 5,000 interviews by now, I am ready for any curve ball!" The question is, could take first place these days? "Okay, maybe there's an age restriction," she writes. "That's fine, I'll just become a pageant mom." Good plan!
