In reply to: 's message, "GET REAL! The addition is SIMPLE. 50 Teens/50 Miss X $1000 = $100,000. Ad sales are a PHENOMINAL source of income, and I know that companies give cash cntributions to be listed as a sponsor. Even if the expenses were 50% (which they ARE NOT), I'd say $50,000 is one heck of a part time salary. Matter of a fact, where do I apply? hehe" on 14:54:19 08/03/03 Sun

And you are OBVIOUSLY a director who is ashamed to admit it is a BUSINESS. It is OKAY for directors to make money. THEY SHOULD. This is NOT a charity event! It is a tremendous amount of work to produce a QUALITY show. I want them to make alot of money. I just want them to spend some of it on their winners! Can't everyone be happy? -- Anonymous, 09:05:31 08/04/03 Mon
