Mahala's mom just emailed me on Mahala. Some of you might have heard from Sasha about Mahala's illness. She has lost all her eye lashes, almost all of her eyebrows & there are alot of patches of bald spots on her head. Step said she is still competing in the Sweetheart pageant - I think its a Couto Pageant but Im not completely sure.

Lets all wish Mahala good luck at this pageant--she is such a beautiful little girl--with or without all of her hair! Her personality will shine right through!

GOOD LUCK MAHALA!! We are all rooting for you!!

That's right people...Yours truly will be competing on a reality show called BEST OF THE BEST from March 26 to March 30th out in Las Vegas...The premise of the show is somewhat like America's Top Model....There will be 20 photographers ( me being one of them ) competing against each other in different competitions...

Best of the Best 3 is a reality-based "behind-the-scenes" modeling competition on MavTV! Watch 20 beautiful models and 20 photographers shoot in exciting locations all over Las Vegas! Models and Photographers will battle for a $10,000 grand prize and a chance to be named THE BEST OF THE BEST.

The photographers that are chosen for the TOP 10 will go out to Atlanta in June to be awarded!!!....On that note...WISH ME LUCK!!

I will be updating my news as I am out there letting you all know whats going on.

For anyone with the younger girls if you have a Marshall's or TJ Maxx near you they have some beautiful dresses for Easter that actually look more like pageant dresses. I figured for the price of $19.00 another dress might not be a bad idea! I bought a white with the tule- the top half is satin with silver diamond/beads on the body--it is really pretty! Its short vs her other long one. They had quite a selection for a very inexpensive price!

Mike Savage had asked us if Taylor could do a tfp shoot with him--the dates changed a few times due to some minor problems--we have a firm date now - since he has a firm place to do the shoot--he seems like a very nice person--I have only seen a small amount of his work on OMP--any thoughts or recommendations you can offer us---I would like to have these shots (along with Thomas Hopkins photo) to build her portfolio--hopefully at some point in time we would love to do a shoot with you---what type of shots do you recommend since she is only 8---more fun-a few serious???

Thanks Stewart!

Alright people....
I am just letting you all know that I can go on and see where your messages are coming from from the IP address...I have been keeping track for the last 2 months....

I see that a few people that have been negative are pretty consistent in being a little nasty....

I have sent warning shots out and am now pulling out the big guns...

If I see anymore talking smack and I see your IP address matches previous ones with the same type of bad comments....You can kiss this board goodbye because you will get deleted....

I know some of you may think you are crafty by not posting your name and then being rude thinking nobody will ever know it's you but...I do and this is how it will be handled...

If you get deleted and think it was by mistake...You can e-mail me at ssphoto@maine.rr.com to tell me.

I am not a control freak...I am a man of my word and when I tell you that there will be no bashing,name calling, rude behavior or anything like that.....I MEAN IT!!!

I want everyone here to be happy and know that this is a safe place to post what ever you want and ask what ever you want when you want without worrying about what somebody else is going to reply under your post.

I hope I have made myself clear...I know who's who and will delete you at the drop of a hat if I see your IP matches other negative comments from that same IP....

That will not fly here!!

Have a good night.

After cleansing your face, use a teaspoon or sugar to exfoliate. Cheap and leaves your skin smooth and glowing. Creates a great base for stage makeup!

Christopher is looking to sponsor pageant folks, so please call him at 854-4443. He asked me to write in to all of you and have you come his way for your nails. He has done my nails free every other time now for over 15 months and still does. They are the real pink and white like they do in California. After 3 weeks they never fall off, chip or anything. He is simply exceptional.

Tell him I sent you if you call for an appointment. He is in Westbrook.

Not to mention any photo shoots some of us have done with him. I am so glad we have photos from him! He is moving to warmer weather & I believe will be opening up a studio there at some point. Not sure if any of you realize this but Tom was self taught in photography - he used to be a police office!

I want to just say a little something to everyone....
If I feel a post is getting a bit out of control no matter how many post and responses are on it...I am going to delete it if I feel feelings are being compromised....

I don't want to see anymore bickering back and forth or anything that may stir up dust...

Be respectful,curtious,professional,complimentary and if you have any criticism...be constructive.

I have been promoting this board to many professionals in the pageant industry because I have been very happy and proud to see what a great job you have all been doing here....

I just want you all to know that many of the professionals I have spoken to are hesitant to even check out these type of boards because of all the bashing that they have seen in the past.....

I will not allow any of you to ruin a good thing...

I will delete a negative post without a seconds thought.

We have all had a pretty good streak..I have only had to delete 6 posts so far since this board started...It has been 5 1/2 weeks since I had to delete a post....

I would once again like to thank you all for coming here...You once again have my word that this board of mine will stay positive....EVEN IF IT MEANS ALL POSTS GO THROUGH ME.......Which I hope doesn't have to get to that point.....

If any of you have any questions,concerns,comments or anything...Please pop me an e-mail.

Thank you again for respecting the board.

After replying to a couple of posts here it got me thinking. Taylor just turned 8 & has done about a dozen pageants--over the past two years. She has really gained so much from these - self esteem, self respect, met new friends overcame her shyness. Im wondering if there is a point in which we are just throwing our money away. Dont get me wrong, I think there are some wonderful pageants out there. Its just at Taylors age they are the same things over & over. She is too young to compete where her education comes into play, community involvement is still a little much for her age, sure, she knows she wants to be a vet when she is older & she does fantastic in school (still doesnt get letter grades yet as she is only in 2nd grade). I cant help but wonder if waiting until she is a pre-teen to start again (if she wanted to) where there is more to it than just being "cute". To me, all the young girls I see are adorable--but Taylor would still have another four plus years before she hits the teen part - is it really that different than?

Is there anyone here contestant or parent who has done pageants from a young age through to teen yrs? Or anyone who started young, stopped until they were a teen than started again? Do you have any positives or negatives you can share about either way?

Thanks so much!!
