Subject: Great idea..... Author: Evaluator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, November 24, 09:16:03am Author Host/IP: c-76-101-51-85.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/76.101.51.85 In reply to: Michael 's message, "Raise your own funds" on Monday, November 24, 07:43:38am I to think that PE&A can raise their own funds. like Michael said, there are many things they can do to raise the moner they need. What about not only a carnival all-inclusive fete. But, also a Carnival Band. They can launch their own band or maybe seek a special section in an already establish band. They can raise alot of maoney that way. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: PB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, November 24, 11:26:14am Author Host/IP: NoHost/64.28.142.2 I'm pretty sure that they would have tried some sort of fund raising before, regardless of what it was. While all these are good ideas how realistic are they? How much support will he get for ventures such as these? To raise 700K a year for beauty pageants with a Trinidadian public is a tall order... Time will tell. ****PS: Where's Adrian Raymond?! I know he visits this site, if you are reading could you please shed some light on this issue?***** Thanks [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

But thats something you have to do every year. You will always profit from that in T&T. One section in a band I am sure can make the money to sponsor one of the girls. They charge alot for those costumes. That along with some other fund rasing stuff like the carnival fetes and fashion shows etc. can make the money for both candidates. It is very realistic. Anything carnival in T&T will make money. Another thing is, if they do those things and get some fundind from the goverment(How little it may be) they will more than have enough to support each girl. It is possible. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, November 24, 02:17:16pm Author Host/IP: cpe-66-108-67-18.nyc.res.rr.com/66.108.67.18 ...with all do respect, the comparison with Auntie Kim and Peter Elias and Associates is like comparing a tree to a forest-PERIOD! You all forget that it was Peter Elias who appeared on the scene in 1994 or thereabouts and he revolutionized the T&T pageant scene even while learning from the great queen maker herself. Take away Peter Elias from the T&T circuit-I highly doubt we would have had a MU in 1998 or many placements internationally for that matter. Peter Elias knows better than anyone on this forum what Auntie Kim did and let me tell you if he did what she did we probably would not be at either competition. The competitions are more competitive now. Auntie Kim would have been in trouble herself-even her own daughter could not raise funds. And let's be honest, Peter Elias has used his own money from selling his clothes to finance these ladies and still he fell short. Additionally, it is 3 frekin' people who have to bear this burden-they are human-what the heck do you people want from them-they have been living and breathing this thing like crazy-what the hel# more you all want them to do? I would like to suggest to you that most Trinis who come up with these suggestions don't know what busy is-really, that has been my experience personally. Additionally, you need money to do a start up business-MT&T reps. need the money now -go figure? Also, last time I checked any business could buss! (Any of you all fronting the money). Finally, and most importantly, I don't know anyone in the pageant circuit around the globe who would work their a$s off to spend it on someone else-is freakin' brand T&T he promoting-what, you all feel he making any fuc#ing money back from this thing? Talk cheap yes! The man have a family to take care off and money eh easy to come by people! You all sound like people from Government-all ah all yuh want to off load everything on Peter Elias but yuh a$s go turn up at the airport when we win-and still Peter would not even get any type of recognition. HE IS ONE MAN YOU KNOW-NOT GOD!!! GROW UP PEOPLE! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Is the condescending attitude necessary? I think you are the one that needs to grow up. and save the `with due respect` speech you wanna respond with [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
