Subject: Actually I think there are enough pageants out there if you like this or not. If you dont like it dont go to glitz because that is what glitz pageants are. period. Natural are not. So find your happy medium and go to pageants you and your daughter enjoy. I think if you like the atmosphere of glitz pageants, there is not a negative there. If you dont like it dont go? There are a ton we do that we dont have all that stuff for.

[> But even glitz shouldn't have to cost that much. Seriously look at the amount of material in a dress including decorations...most are not worth $1000 or more. Most wedding dresses don't cost that much and they have alot more material. The cost is outrageous and for what?? to support the vendors -- Anonymous, 14:36:53 02/27/07 Tue [1]

[> [> Yeah but if you dont beleive in that then dont support it. I know PLENTY of nationals where you dont need all of that. So do the ones you dont have to support those people. Those who want to will and there is no sense in being angry about it. Just look at it as...if you spen $300 do you child yourself with a simple pretty dress, she wins Miss Canada and that person spends $750 entry, $400 h/m, $2000 dress to become Miss Galmour Cutie...I still think you have accomplished more -- Anonymous, 10:02:25 02/28/07 Wed [1]
