Subject: Re: california Tropic Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:47:07 03/31/10 Wed Date Posted: 20:15:18 03/01/10 Mon ------------------------------------------------------------Why does this pageant have to be so expensive!! Im filling out my paperwork asking why? And the prizes are not even that good. I think Im addicted!! REALLY! If you are crazy enough to spend over $1200.00 in fees then you shouldn't complain. If you already know that they don't offer much of anything to the winners then you shouldn't complain. You can still do this pageant and not spend a arm and a leg in fees. If you did a prelim then you were able to get 1/2 off your party or swim fee. If you won your prelim then you got it paid. You can be lucky enough to enter this pageant and only spend the $90.00 mandatory registration fee. If you are not happy with spending the big bucks with this system then you shouldn't complain about it if you continue to do it. It's people like you that keep putting that kind of money in there pockets and keeps them happy. As long as people continue to feed there pockets with big dollars NOTHING will change. Don't you understand that it's people like us that can control how things get done? When people STOP spending the big dollars with them it forces them to do 1 of 2 things. 1.) listen to the people to help their business grow or 2.) go out of business because of greediness. Moms there are so many other pageants out there that offer CASH to the winners and better prizes. You'll spend 1/2 the fees that CT charges. So why come on here and complain about what you are spending in fees. When you are part of the reason why the fees remain where they are.

[> [> Subject: Re: california Tropic Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:11:24 04/12/10 Mon i dont think they are greedy... the only pageants that award cash are glitz and you spend just as much if not more on them plus clothes! ct has dropped prices and if you dont like it then dont particapate. my daughter just gave her title and we had a wonderful year with ct she got to do photo shoots and an audition. i cant complain at all. you talk about how your feeding the greedy beast but what the heck do you think any other business does they all want your money so they thrive. so really buck up or shut up ;) jacy beye....

And the over all winner can win $1000. If you already have the attire you are all set. Which all you need is a dress and a swimsuit. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: california Tropic Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:13:47 04/13/10 Tue I agree with Jacy! We have participated in other systems and they do not offer nearly as much when it comes to experience. We love CT! Glitz is not for us! They are not about the kids or experience at all!! They are about the money. They give out CASH prizes so they can pull people in, because with out it you wouldnt go. Am I right? But you would attent CT, because of the experience!! CT is a business! They have to make money or they will be out of business. Period. I support them , by entering my kids because my family loves attending the pageants. Its a blast and the kids make great friends and so do us Mommys! We have been a part of this system for the past 5 years and will continue untill my kids age out! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: california Tropic Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:57:30 04/15/10 Thu yes thats true you can enter for that price with aff but the higher you get the glitzier the girls become. and thats with all pageants really. i go with ct because they have been the best run pageant for us. i have tried gold coast, aff, and cover miss and mister. all are nice pageants but my child is most comfortable with ct. i would rather give them my money then any other system because i like how its set up plus no other system has done the awards like ct after every 2 groups. its better for the kids and they arent so cranky after waiting for all the groups to go. anyways enough rambling... jacy beye [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
