I'd say the same step away for a couple years then go back but during your break if you decide you don't want to come back, then you learned from the experience -- Ms. & Mrs. Pageants

DO NOT STEP AWAY! you can do this! Is your figuire in tip top shape? your interview must be good to make top consistently. are you competing in the right system for the message you are projecting? what is your message? is it sraight from the heart? are you stepping our of the box a bit? what type of gown are you wearing? color flattering? ask yourself the hard ? and you'll find the answer 10/29/13 Tue

agree. that means it's just ONE small thing that is keeping you down. I didn't see it until a former acquaintance was a judge in my pageant, and she told me things about my interview that rubbed her the wrong way just enough to keep me from winning. I never saw it. I didn't see myself. Dig deep and find out now! You can win. I came back and won it. -- don't give up, 10/30/13 Wed
Hire a coach. It's great to get a different perspective from your own. (NT) -- Be open to coaching, and go for it, 10/30/13 Wed
This is so true, especially your comment about choosing the right system. I knew a girl who competed in a particular system 5 or 6 times and kept placing in the top 5 but never won. But she switched to a different system and won the very FIRST time she competed! She said she was happy her coach talked her into switching systems.
