News About POP MAGAZINE -- Caryl, 10/25/05 12:07:46am

Hi everyone... With a saddened heart I'm announcing that I have Sold - Pride of Pageantry...(aka POP Magazine) ...

As some of you know, I have had a small health concern lately, nothing very serious mind you, just something that keeps getting worse and worse with stress. As owner of POP, I wore many "hats". Going from Receptionist to being Layout and Design, I did it all..... It was getting harder and harder on me with each issue....

I spent many sleepless nights, trying to fix the problem, trying to come up with something that would lessen the stress and help me keep the magazine....but I wasn't very successful at coming up with ideas.... I even had quite a few friends offer to help lighten the load of the magazine by taking on different jobs so I wouldnt have to do them, but being like I am I still had to have "my hands" in everything as usual anyway.

I have Sold the magazine to a wonderful lady named Carla Creekmore, she lives in AZ and has been in the Pageantry business for over 10 years, either as a judge, a contestant's mother or as the Director of her own pageant.

I have known Carla for about 6 years, and I know she will be a great "mommy" to my "baby".... I believe she will love it as I have... she's a hard worker, a very creative person, and loves kids... I remember her pageant as being "always for the kids"..... I always felt like she had put 110% into it..... and I am sure she will do the same with POP

She has some great ideas in mind ... I know her first change is to add a new prize for Cover... $200 CASH... and it starts with ALL entries for the Winter issue, not just with the Nov 15th deadline...... Another thing she is adding is a Kid's Korner section to the magazine.... Articles & Interviews that kids will love to read and will interest them too, not just their moms.....

And with that said, I would like to ask you all to support her as you have supported and promoted me.... enter her contests, take ads out, write articles and subscribe to her wonderful magazine.... Look for new & exciting things to be added to POP

I have met a lot of great people though pageants, some of you have become close friends...... so I am sad and happy in the same breath about POP.... I have told people "its like giving up my child" when asked how I feel about selling it.... I started POP as a newsletter for the West Coast, it's "grown up" a lot in the 5 years that its been published.

I will continue to do the PAGEANT COVERAGES for awhile, until Carla has gotten the first couple of issues printed, and then she will take over this also....

When I accepted Carla's offer for the magazine, I will be honest, I cried and cried, not knowing if I was doing the right thing... oh I knew Carla was the right person, I just didnt know if this was right for ME.... but after many meetings with Carla and having a few special friends to talk to, I now know this is the best for all of us....

Please contact me at the email below... if you have any concerns.....

THANK YOU for all your support and love and friendship....
