Subject: Re: Local Banners Author: Christy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:18:55 10/07/03 Tue Author Host/IP: 207.97.108.1 In reply to: Va Director 's message, "Local Banners" on 06:11:55 10/07/03 Tue Speaking form personal experience, I am really grateful for the banners and I really feel it makes a difference. It makes you feel like the money you are paying to enter is being used for the pageant and it's purposes. One particular pageant I know of charges almost a thousand dollars with ads, tickets and all that and you get NOTHING! Maybe a trophy, that's if you place, but otherwise you really wonder where your money went! So, I think this is a great plus to this pageant system and it's something you will have forever.

[> [> Subject: I have often felt the same way...one cool thing about Galaxy (click in) Author: Va Director [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:25:43 10/07/03 Tue Author Host/IP: 64.83.5.197 is that you get to enjoy being a titleholder rather than being just "at large" going in. I personally prefer that too, because it gave me an opportunity to make appearances and enjoy the boons of being a queen, even if just as Ms. Richmond or whatever. I had a lot more confidence about being worthy of competing by the time I actually got there. I also made friendships going in that have lasted since, so I felt confident when I got to the nationals (and for you guys, the state instead). I am now entering other Mrs. pageants (I can't compete in Galaxy anymore.....wah!!!) and running into a totally different mindset. I respect other directors and what they choose to do but as a contestant myself, I prefer to feel like I had *some* recognition, even if it was just for coming in and having the courage to compete. I just wish they all saw it the same way....but hey, that's what makes us special!
