• Judges, what do you REALLY think about bleached blondes? -- No name, 14:51:39 03/11/08 Tue [5]
  My personal opinion is I have ALWAYS hated it, trashy not classy imo, but it really bothers me on the under 12 kids (even sthough I dont' like it on anyone). I have always felt that you should color closest to your childs actual hair color, if you are a dark blonde, highlight etc.. I especially hate it in so called NATURAL pageants, IMO, I would probably deduct in natural, because it is not close to being natural.
  
  Does anyone else out there feel like this?

  • Personally I would never do it to my own child, but as a judge, I judge the whole child and the performance for that particular day (NT) -- and some kids ARE naturally that blond!, 18:58:54 03/11/08 Tue
    • You can usually tell the difference, I am pretty good at picking out a fake, only because it is YUCKY when it is fake, UGH (NT) -- No name, 20:21:08 03/11/08 Tue

• Question for judges regarding a national for OTR casualwear? -- No name, 19:46:09 03/11/08 Tue [3]
  I am looking at an otr casualwear for an upcoming national for my dd who is 5. The theme, I think is a cute idea only thing is it has wording on the shirt. Is there a rule to otr casualwear to not having any wording on the outfit?
  I know i've seen a few banners with otr casualwears where there is alot of accessories added to the outfit in which i'm planning on doing. Only thing is the wording.

• any photo contest judges? -- No name, 05:45:48 05/17/07 Thu [5]
  My dd has won several pageant photogenic, photogenic supremes scoring consistantly 9.8-10's, not all in same system. However when entered in photo contest she doesn't even place? What are judges looking at in photo contest that the pageant judges aren't? Why does she do so well in pageant photogenic and not in contest? She only has natural with NO retouching, NO makeup... I've stopped wasting money since she isn't what the judges are looking for but just wondering what they WERE looking for.

  • I would like to as well, my son does well in photo contest with his pictures but not in Pageants. What are they looking for? (NT) -- No name, 13:32:37 05/17/07 Thu
  • I'm not a judge but heres my 2 cents anyway...Each pageant and photo contest has a different judging rubric in which they score the photos. The rubric in pageants may not be the same as those in contests. Be sure to ask the director exactky what the judges are looking for so that you can enter a pic accordingly. In photo contests the quality of the photo may not be as clear as in person so that may also be a factor. Also, just because your child doesn't place does not mean that their photo didn't score high. Be sure to ask for your scores in pc's so that you can see why your photo didn't place. One more thing...In pc's (especially natural) your photos are competeing with photos from different states and sometimes even from different countries. (NT) -- HTH, 15:41:47 05/17/07 Thu

• OH MY GOD -- No name, 14:50:21 04/03/07 Tue [5]
  I know that there are alot of you out there that this has happened to, but I got to vent anyway...! Okay so dd did a pageant this weekend that was a more natural pageant, we worked real hard getting her ready with a simpler walk and all that. So the day arrives and she goes to interview that morning and everything goes great, she gets on stage and again almost perfect... Crowning... uh huh the judges go for a little girl with no walk that stood on stage CHEWING her dress and SCRATCHING her head. I almost fell out.
  But the icing on the cake was the score sheets... One judge said that she shouldnt even be doing Interview... She didnt even place. WTF? Please feel free to share your story it might make me feel better. And Judges feel free to share what you think might have happened.

• This is for judges. We have put both our girls photos in contest. The trouble is the ones we do they are not allowed makeup. But when we turn in our pictures WITH NO MAKE UP the judges say they have make up on. How can we prevent this ? I agree their picture look as if they do have it on . They just have that sort of look. -- No name, 15:03:54 06/13/07 Wed [3]
