THIS IS SO SAD
LET ME START BY SAYING IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH WHAT IM WRITING YOU ARE DEFINATELY ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION SAME AS I AM AND
IM SURE I WILL GET BASHED FOR POSTING MY OPINION BUT AT THIS POINT I DONT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING YOU WONT GET BASHED FOR
THESE DAYS ON THESE PAGEANT BOARDS.
WHEN WE STARTED PAGEANTS IT WAS FOR FUN AND GAMES AND MAYBE MAKE A FEW NEW FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY TO SHARE OUR FUN
WITH. I FEEL IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A WAR THAN IT IS WORTH BETWEEN THE MOTHERS GOING AT IT ON THE BOARDS AND AT EVENTS TO
THE VENDORS CHARGING AN ARM AND A LEG FOR WHAT THEY KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE. PHOTOS DO NOT COST THAT MUCH TO TAKE PEOPLE, SO
WHY SHOULD WE PAY $2000 FOR A JUDGE TO THINK OUR CHILD IS FACIALLY PRETTY? AND I HAVE BEEN A SEAMSTRESS FOR YEARS AND DO IT
WELL AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCES OF MAKING MY OWN DAUGHTERS FASHIONS THAT THESE DRESSES YOU PAY $2000 FOR ARE A RIP OFF.
I HAVE BEEN MAKING MY DAUGHTERS DRESSES AND OUTFITS SINCE WE STARTED AND THEY ARE COMPARABLE TO TOP DESIGNERS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT
IT DOES NOT COST HALF THAT TO MAKE A NATIONAL DRESS STONES AND ALL... I GUARANTEE IT! THEN YOU HAVE THE RIVALRY BETWEEN COACHES
WHICH LEADS ME TO QUESTION THE COACHES MOTIVES IN THE FIRST PLACE... ARE THEY IN IT FOR THE SAKE OF MY CHILD OR TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK
GOOD? WE DO FULL GLITZ SO THIS ISNT A NATURAL MOM COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING A GLITZ EVENT EITHER. YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE PRICES
OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHAT IT TAKES TO COMPETE LET ALONE WIN ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER IF WE
KEEP LETTING VENDORS THINK THEY CAN CHARGE WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE HAVE TO HAVE THE PHOTOS, CLOTHES, AND PRACTICE.
IM NOT TRYING TO PERSONALLY ATTACK ANYONE HERE IM JUST FED UP WITH PAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSES MANSIONS ALL FOR THE SAKE OF A CROWN AND
TROPHY... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FUN? WHATS IT ALL FOR? US OR THE KIDS? DO THEY REALLY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? AND IF SO DOES IT MATTER
MORE TO THEM OR TO US? I KNOW SOMEONE WILL REPLY WITH "WELL IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT OR DONT LIKE IT THEN DONT DO IT ANYMORE", "IF YOU CANT
TAKE THE HEAT GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN"... UNTIL THE PRICES OF SOME OF THIS STUFF GOES DOWN WE WILL NOT BE BACK IN THE KITCHEN AND IF YOU
OTHER MOMS WANT TO GET THOSE PRICES DOWN YOU WILL LET THEM KNOW YOU MEAN BUSINESS BY GIVING THEM A TASTE OF WHAT ITS LIKE TO "NEED" SOMETHING
FROM SOMEONE ELSE... WE PAY THEIR RENT AND I THINK OUR MONEY HAS BEEN TAKEN FORGRANTED AND THE HOBBY HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND. THIS WONT
CHANGE UNTIL WE ALL HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

i agree 150% since when do we have to pay $35.00 to send in a photo!!! thats outragous!! i was on www.universalroyalty.com and i wanted to send in a picture on the beautiful faces contest. you had to pay $35 just to send in the pic! and $60 just to enter a regualar pageant!!
where has the fun of the sport gone! i used to do pageants all the time and my mom would sit for hours designing a regular dress becuase she didn't want to pay $1,500 for a dress she could design and make the same thing for not even half the price! im 12 and just trying to get in is hard i used to do these every saturday and now i haven't been in one for atleast 5 years because the prices have been going up and up! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
