Toddler and Tiara type pageants like Cover Miss, Sunburst, Fabulous Faces, Universal Southern Charm, Glamour Dolls used to 300 and 400 contestants. That was about 30 - 40 contestants per age group. Now they are lucky to get 100 and Glamour Dolls hit rock bottom. It can barely pull 30 in the whole national pageant!

Those type of pageants were notorious for pulling in clueless parents at prelims. Their kids would wear the sunday dresses and school picture day hair with no make up. They get to state and nationals and see all the glitzy dresses, heavy makeup, added hair, dance modeling, and retouched cartoon photos. The vendors of these services would sell photos, coaching, clothes, and hair and makeup needs to the parents saying this is what wins. Many parents fell for it until they found out many wins came from WHO was the contestant's hair and makeup artist, coach, and photographer and that determined the win instead of the talent itself.

The pageant cash cow is over and done with. In Miss and Mrs pageants, to have the winning edge contestants had to recompete year after year, be the best customer at trunk shows, or sell the most ads.

Or have a pageant consultant who is friends with the director. He or she still have their clique in the group to get the director to give that contestant a spot in the top 10.
