Subject: Smile ??

Last pageant dd was at she got marks off for smile with every judge commenting needs to work on smile. Dd is 9 and doesn't like to do a great big smile because she says it makes her eyes squinty... would you prefer to see a regular smile, the big smile (that makes her eyes squinty) or the kinda fake looking smile? I've always told her to smile like she's having fun but.....

Thanks

[> [> Also, it is OK to close the mouth and re-smile when walking across the stage!! It is not normal for anyone of any age to hold a natural smile for that long! -- No name, 20:29:05 02/14/07 Wed [1]

[> [> [> As long as her face is visible to the judges, she has to hold the smile. The only time it is save to drop it is when she is facing the back of the stage. When she is walking from one X to the next, her head should be turned toward the judges and a smile on her face. -- Judge's opinion., 21:45:44 02/14/07 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> So not true! A child can quickly close her mouth and resmile. Perfectly fine. My dds have been doing it for years and consistently win. As a judge, I prefer the contestant to that instead of holding that painful fake smile! -- No name, 06:30:12 02/18/07 Sun [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> What's not natural? I wasn't aware that there was a time limit on smiles. If you are using a genuine smile, it shouldn't hurt..it's the fake ones that hurt! If they get up there and do their stuff and get off in a minute or so, it shouldn't be a problem. -- Judge's opinion., 18:28:53 02/20/07 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Stand in front of your mirror and hold a smile for 2 minutes. Get back with me after you have done this and it looks natural. I'll be waiting. -- No name, 08:04:28 02/21/07 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> My smile ABSOLUTELY looks natural after 2 mins. If yours doesn't, maybe you need more practice at it! The fact is that if they don't hold their smile when facing the judges and another child does, the smiler will prevail! -- Judge's opinion., 09:03:15 02/28/07 Wed [1]
