Backdrop and wood patterns come from Brady Poirier's teacher files at ABC Adult School; Amanda Barefoot's face replaces that of one of the participants in the Beauties of America pageant (the one in the middle); I brushed out the sash and replaced it with a new inscription written with Trajan Pro. The caption was written with Edwardian Script, then rasterized and given a white stroke for contrast.

(Top) Backdrop is that of the ballroom of the Loews Coronado Bay Resort, near San Diego. Inset is a video capture from the BBC series Strictly Come Dancing, which spawned the current U.S. series Dancing with the Stars. (It more resembles a foxtrot than the Viennese waltz I thought it was, based on my original Google search.) The people pictured are: Rebecca Peacock (Robin Moore Barefoot, in the red gown cited earlier), Blake Barefoot (Connor Boyd, killed in September 2013 in Ottawa when a public bus and a commuter train crashed, wearing the DiCaprio suit), Laurie Barefoot (Brittany Barefoot's mother, original clothes), Brandy Barefoot (Amanda Barefoot, in this blue gown), Daniel Barefoot (Brittany Barefoot's father, original clothes), Bunky Barefoot (Brandon Davidson, in white T-shirt with Nevada horse embroidery, recolored black via alt-delete fill layer)

(Top) Original photo is a one-man band set which I thought came from about.com but has apparently been taken down; drumsticks from video capture of a performance by Brett Brookshire on YouTube; uniform top comes from MLB's online store (White Sox are Bunky's favorite sports team, while 15 is his reset age); pants and legs from usual sources
