I am not trying to be mean here, but I fail to see the prestige in Mrs. America. Can someone please explain this to me because it has been many, many years since Mrs. America was a first class pageant. Other than the one and one thing, it's the least likely to be classifified as "prestigious". -- Ms. & Mrs. Pageants

In reply to: One shot deal 's message, "It's desperate& seriously a completly pathetic attempt to be a state title holder twice for the SAME state in the Mrs. A system Competing against them isn't the issue. Not a lot of states have serious competition and some states have NEVER had a top 10 competitor. I think it just reduces the actual title to all those other pageants where they crown 18 winner and then re-crown the exta same girls the next year for life-time acheivement. The prestige of a Mrs America type pageant is you can only hold the state title once. Spend your year promoting it then pass it off to the next lady." on 10/12/14 Sun

I totally get what your saying. BUT, I think it's the general public who actually think it's prestigious. The general public doesn't know about the gazillions of pageants that are out there. Most of them know about 4... Miss America... Miss USA.... Miss Universe... and Mrs. America. I know those are the only ones my non-pageant friends know about. So when you tell them you are Mrs. "State" America they are happy for you. They affiliate it with the others where you can only compete once. That's just my take on it. As pageant girls we know that this system has gone down-hill. (NT) Hoping that sort of makes sense. 10/14/14 Tue

Thank you poster because I would hate to think that anyone labels a pageant as prestigious just because you are only allowed to compete at their nationals one time. Those days are coming to a close for the Mrs. America system, too. Sorry, but you could never sell that "prestigious" line to most pageant women, we are not blind or stupid. And stop with the "it's such a prestigious pageant because you can only compete one time at nationals". That just sounds so ridiculous and makes zero sense. (NT) -- Keeping it real!, 10/14/14 Tue
