Subject: PRINCESS PRIDE Author: Tammy Davis, Mom of Abigail E. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:26:57 07/24/07 Tue Chasity & Payton: My daughter, Abigail, was 2006 AL Forestry Princess. While we never had anyone directly say to us that “we bought our title”, there were some insecurities that Abigail felt as a result of how she received her crown. Kay and Carol told us over and over how important that the Princess was to them for all of the reasons that have been stated here on the boards. I sold the ads as a surprise for Abigail since she was pretty new to pageants last year and wanted her to have a back up since only one girl could win the Petite title…and we had no idea if it would be “her day” or someone else’s…it was in the judge's hands...it turned out to be another’s day….so she was crowned Princess. It was a great thing for her because instead of going home empty handed, she went home with a ton of gifts, a beautiful crown and banner and a new set of sister queens. She also was able to make many appearances, speak in public and it also helped in her maturity. All of this helped to improve her pageant skills…..which I believe had a huge impact on her confidence, which has led to her winning Petite Miss US Woodlands just recently. If anyone tells you Princess isn’t a good thing, ask Abigail. She will tell you a different story. Also, Abigail made her directors really proud when she was princess. She showed up to everything, and even with her insecurities about the title, she represented it with the best of her ability and all of her heart. She was rewarded when she gave up her crown because they gave her the “Queen of Queens award” and she received an extra savings bond for working so hard at her title. So, to sum it up, being Princess is an awesome job and both of you should be VERY proud. You never know where your experiences will lead you!!!
