Subject: AMERICA'S DOLL NATIONAL PAGEANT Author: LINDA SANSONE [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:02:35 09/03/01 Mon WELL AS EVERYONE CAN SEE BY MY NAME, THIS IS LINDA SANSONE, I AM DOING WHAT I SAID I WOULD NOT DO AND I KNOW I AM OPENING MYSELF UP TO BE BEAT TO DEATH (NOT THAT IT LIKES MUCH) AND THAT IS WHY I AM ON HERE NOW.I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF ALL THIS STUFF ON THESE BOARDS AND I KNOW IT WILL DO NO GOOD TO SAY I DID NOT DO IT. EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS OF THINGS BUT I FELT LIKE I HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT AND BASHED ENOUGH. TO HEAR MY SIDE OF THE STORY THAT CONCERNS ME. I HAD A PAGEANT AND HAD VERY GOOD CONTESTANTS BUT JUST NOT ENOUGH TO MEET EXPENSES. I HAD VERY GOOD WINNERS AND I ALWAYS GIVE VERY NICE THINGS ESPECIALLY CROWNS. I GIVE CUSTOM CROWNS AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP. NO ONE THAT WAS IN MY PAGEANT PAID THE WHOLE FEES, EVERYONE HAD A LOT OF FEES OFF FROM PHOTO CONTEST ETC. I LET PEOPLE USE ALL THEIR CREDIT NOT JUST THE HIGHEST AMOUNT, IF YOU HAVE CREDIT WITH ME YOU CAN USE IT ANYTIME YOU WANT TO NOT JUST PART OF IT. FOR THE FINACIAL PART AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR SOME PEOPLE. I HAVE NOT PAID ALL MY BONDS BUT I AM PAYING THEM AND WILL GET EVERYONE PAID, I THINK IT IS AWFUL TO HAVE TO GO TO THIS EXTENT OVER A PAGEANT OR ANYTHING ELSE. I APPRECIATE THE FRIENDS THAT HAVE COME TO MY DEFENSE AND I DETEST THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE CAUSED ALL THIS TROUBLE. I COULD NAME SOME BUT THAT WILL BE SETTLED IN A MORE ADULT MANNER. I DO NOT BEG ANYONE TO COME TO MY PAGEANTS BUT EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND TREATED FAIR I DO NOT PROMISE ANYBODY ANYTHING AND THAT IS THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN. THESE PAGEANT BOARDS CAN BE VERY HELPFUL IF USED IN THE RIGHT WAY BUT THEY ALSO CAUSE A LOT OF HURT FEELINGS AND BROKEN FRIENDSHIPS. I FEEL VERY SURE THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAS HAD A BAD PAGEANT AND ANOTHER THING I HAD JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL FROM HAVING SURGERY AND WAS NOT BACK AT WORK FULL TIME. I AM NOW BACK AT WORK AND AM HAVING MY PAGEANTS ALSO. NOW AS FOR THE BASHING ABOUT OTHER PAGEANT SYSTEMS I DO NOT DO THAT. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN WAY OF RUNNING THEIR PAGEANTS. I HAVE MY OPIONIONS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE DON'T DO LIKE ME IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM WRONG, WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS AND OPERATE OUR PAGEANTS DIFFERENT. I WILL SAY AS SOMEONE STATED ABOVE I DO NOT ALLOW H/M OR PHOTOGRAPHERS TO RUN MY PAGEANTS AND I NEVER WILL BUT THAT IS ME, IF OTHER DIRECTORS CHOOSE TO DO THAT IT IS THEIR BUSINESS AND NOT MINE. I HOPE THIS HAS CLEARED UP SOME THINGS AND IF NOT IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME MY PHONE # IS (662)844-8789 OR MY EMAIL IS LISTED AT THE TOP. AGAIN I AM SORRY TO FEEL LIKE I HAD TO DO THIS BUT IF IT HELPS IT WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT, WHY CAN EVERYONE NOT JUST ENJOY PAGEANTS FOR THE CHILDREN AND ALL OF US ADULTS STAY OUT OF EACH OTHERS HAIR. THANKS FOR LETTING ME SAY MY PIECE AND SURE HOPE THIS SETTLES ALL THE FUSS. THANKS LINDA SANSONE [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: AMERICA'S DOLL NATIONAL PAGEANT Author: Little advice [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:49:47 09/03/01 Mon >You know Ms. Linda you are a Director who you would like people to respect but did you know if you talk about other directors and other people's children that makes you nothing but trash mouth!!!! I as a pageant mom would not trust you even if you gave me your pageant for free after finding out how you like to talk not only about my child but all the other children you have talked about. Maybe you should mind your own business MS.Linda and stay out of other people's and other directors business if it does not pertain to you then stay out of it and people would do the same with you so as you stated shame on you.
