I"ve made a million of them. That's what keeps me going. Wearing shoes I thought I could walk in but couldn't. Not trying on my gown before the contest. Getting angry at a judges question when it was only to see my reaction. Embarrassing? My shoe came off on stage, and then my earring fell off. What can you do?! It happens to the best of us. -- Ms. & Mrs. Pageants

To be honest, I never think any of it is silly because I learn from it, but I will say that all things combined, pageantry is silly and amounts to nothing in the real world. IMHO 10/01/13 Tue
