First I would like to say thank you to everyboy that helped make this pageant a success,my daughter had a great time. After reading the board and seeing how some events unfolded at the pageant I am deeply concerned and heres why:
1.We are teaching a whole generation on how to be sore losers by some of the actions displayed by adults and the knit picking after the fact (ie..spaghetti straps(not in rule book)make-up..props the list goes on and on.
2.The fact is we are judged everyday of our lives by people we know and people we don't, by employers..colleges will judge their grades..judgement is a part of life sometimes life isn't always fair,but like i tell my daughter fair is where you ride rides an eat popcorn.It is how you handle yourself in these situations that make you a winner in life.

3.Please show by example how to handle adversity with dignity that will get them alot further in life than throwing a fit everytime something doesn't go thier way.
