I'm sorry, I used to be a big time Grecia fan but when I heard that her mother was allowed backstage at the South Texas pageant and no other contestant was allowed to have that, I just felt it was strange. I am sure she a very nice girl, but is she doesn't want people to say she has ties to whatever pageant maybe she should not allow herself to become so involved behind the scenes and have special treatment. -- Rio Grande Valley Pageant Scene

In reply to: You people need to get a life and leave these girls alone it takes alot to be on stage. Judges had their opinion that night and the audience have a right to voice their opinion on the outcome 's message, "Grecia has NEVER won a Platinum Pageant - what ties does she have. Has placed 1st runner up twice in Miss Edinburg (has now aged out) and once in South Texas. She did not even go top three last year." on 09/ 7/07 8:53:35am

I am very sorry again for whoever myself or my mother made feel unconfortable at the Miss South Texas Pageant those where not my intentions what so ever. I always love helping girls as much as I can with whatever they need. As does my mom she was helping some girls in the back that needed help with their hair. But I am honestly concirn who this is if you like please e mail me just let me know I will personally honestly apoligize. If I ever make anyone ever feel bad please let me know with all my heart am saying this those are not my intentions. I am always here for you all girls. I am happy and honored to be part of this community with girls such as everyone in this forum that we queens try our best to be great role models in our communities. I am sorry once again and thank you everyone who has sticked up for me.
Thank you and God Bless everyone.

Love,
Grecia Padilla

It was not Grecia's fault that she had preferential treatment and her mom allowed backstage. The diretors need to be careful because others may feel uncomfortable or less appreciated as a contestant. The director allowed her to get involved behind the scene to utilize her dance and choreogray talent. Every contestant pays the same amount of money to participate and should be treated equally. I'm sure It was not the director's intention, but perhaps just some appreciation towards Grecia for assisting with the dance. However, some parents did express the desire to be back there and were not allowed so yes it does look bad, but not for Grecia rather for the Production that allowed it as stated in other posts by other concerned parents. And Grecia, I don't think you owe anyone an apology. You have done nothing wrong. You were given permission to have your mom backstage and that is not your fault.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Who gave her permission? I don't think patty or ophie gave her permission. I think her mom just got back there before the pageant began and stayed there. The only thing I think Grecia should have done is double check. She saw that NO OTHER girl had their parrents there. Maybe she should have checked.

Again I am sorry, my mother has been with me backstage in every pageant with me, I am now going to be thinking about it twice, but I cannot afford to pay someone to be helping me backstage with hair and make up. I did ask and she even bought a ticket so I am sorry again for making anyone feel bad or not comfortable backstage. Thank you for the person that is saying something for me, but I am sorry these were not my intentions and I would like for my mom who is innocent if she can not be spoken of her anymore .. PLEASE . I ask with all respect to everyone and their parents.

Thank you,
Grecia Padilla
GOD BLESS EVERYONE , AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALL IN EVERY STEP OF THEIR LIVES...
