TOP TEN THINGS TO REMEMBER IF YOU ARE A PAGEANT MOM AND WANT TO REMAIN A SANE ONE.
10. No other pageant mom is your friend. Believe me, the ones that you think are your friends will be the ones that you find on the bash boards slandering your name. Believe me, been there done that. It hurts, but you will survive.
9. Bashers get their thrills when you defend yourself. As hard as it is don't go there. Once your child starts winning don't go there. 90% of the name children's mothers will tell you that they do not visit the blue, green, black, purple, or any color board, and they tell people not to email them and tell them crap is on there. Someone is always going to be unhappy their kid did not win and yours did.
8. Pageant Vendors, Pageant Coaches, Pageant Directors, H/M, Photographers, Clothing Designers are not your friends nor are they people you can trust. As soon as they are done gossiping with you, they will talk about you to the next person.
7. Pageants are expensive. Clothing, H/M, Photos, Clothing. DO YOUR RESEARCH, the only person that will tell you the truth is yourself. Ask lots of questions and rely on your instincts. FEW people will tell you how to hit the big time in an honest way. Everyone wants their beautiful daughter to win and will do what ever it takes to make that happen. Some of the things to ask the director when making a determination about a pageant are: What are the instructions that you give your judges, what are your judges experience, are they pageant moms or coaches, or other directors, photographers, etc. What are the points breakdown, how many for each catagory, within that how much for facial beaut, how much for clothing, how much for for modeling. What is mandatory for each Supreme title, what are you telling your judges to look for in modeling, photos, clothing. If the director is not wanting to answer your questions, THEN YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THEIR PAGEANT. That is my first clue.
6. Keep your so called friends close and your enemies closer. Clue: They are usually one in the same. Would you like to test that statement? Go to a big pageant with your best friend. If your daughter beats her daughter at the pageant, confess a large made up lie to your friend(sample would be, I had an affair with a photographer, I lied about blank blank blank, etc etc etc) Only tell this person, when you are alone out of earshot of others, don't tell anyone else. Wait and see if it shows up on one of the boards. Or if someone emails you and tells you the gossip. If it does they are not the friend you thought. Hence, Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
5. Don't GOSSIP, it will ruin you, it will ruin your child and it will ruin many a relationship
4. Pageant Mothers are not friends, with each other.
3. Pageant Mothers are not friends with each other.
2. Get some tough skin, and a deaf ear. People are cruel, mean and nasty.
1. Enjoy your child, Enjoy your wins, remain positive and live in the moment. Be happy, it is suppose to be fun. When it isn't fun any more then get out and move on to something you will enjoy. It is suppose to be about the children and their enjoyment.
