What the poster is basically saying is that you shouldn't wait to compete in a pageant to get out there and make a difference by volunteering to help others. It is nauseating when you won't do this UNLESS you are competing in a pageant. (NT) Really sad....you don't need a crown to make a difference!! 05/03/15 Sun

I understand your point but I was one of those that didn't volunteer heavily until I started competing. I have since stopped but the volunteering hasn't. I actually do more. For me pageantry out a fire in me that I've kept going. It's not so black and white. (NT) -- Good can come out of bad, 05/04/15 Mon

When you've been around the circuit as many years as I have, I cannot tell you the number of ladies who all of a sudden have a "platform" that they work hard from the minute they sign up until the minute they lose. That is what is sad. You manage to find time to help others while you are prepping to compete but you can't do that without having a title...really? Yes, it's pathetic and it's wrong because it merely tells me that this person was volunteering for all of the wrong reasons and she was not doing it with a pure heart....it is very self serving and very telling about the person.

Well look at it this way. It is link a friend that comes into your life for a short time, they served their purpose and moved on. That organization my have gained from their participation, even if it was just for a short time, so the organization wins. At least she did SOMETHING. (NT) -- glass half full, 05/05/15 Tue
