I certainly hope this does not start a bash on me or my child. The 2 girls being talked about for the novice titles go to the same coach, have the same seamstress and even use the same h&m person. As far as I know there are no ill feelings between the 2. They have competed together before and the outcome was the other way around. BUT, I am not in any way upset that my daughter did not win the novice title at DD. She had an off weekend and as most of you know that does happen, afterall, they are children! She has done much much better before and I'm sure she will do that well again. This weekend just was not her time. She was just not "on". So again, MD winning the novice title did not upset me at all, congrats to you MD, you had a great weekend and did deserve your win. I knew my daughter was not at her best I did still think she had a chance at it because we all know it just depends on what the judges think, but again I KNOW why my daughter didn't get it, and quite frankly so does she. NEITHER me or my daughter were mad about not getting it, she even said herself she'd work on it and be ready for the next one. We had an absolute blast at this pageant. We both enjoyed seeing all of our friends. It was so fun for us both. With that said, I AM very upset about a lot of things that went on at this pageant that have NOTHING to do with my child not winning. Scores WERE changed, placements WERE called out wrong, money WAS pro-rated to some and not others, checks WERE wrote to winners, fallbacks WERE changed, photogenic was supposed to be apart of the score (which is why I thought my child MIGHT still have a chance at the novice, lol) and they were NOT even scored - a point was given to the winner only (and those that know me, know that I do NOT compete in pageants anymore that award points for anything, lol), judges DID talk to contestants and parents before & during the pageant. I'm sure there is more, but I think you get the picture. The one thing that upsets me the most about this pageant is that I truly trusted the director and I was flat out lied to. I was one of the ones asking about the "Fla Trio". I was told by the director that she had not heard from them. When I got to the hotel, I saw them all in the lobby so I knew they were there. I spoke to them as I really like them and think they are wonderful people with truly great kids. I then went and registered and asked who was in the group. I was told everyone BUT Hilary. So I just asked, what about H? Charlotte said, I don't know about her!! I then told her that I had just seen them all in the lobby. Her exact reply to that was WELL I WISH THESE PEOPLE WOULD LET ME KNOW IF THEY ARE COMING!!! Now, why in the world did she lie to me when she knew they were coming because the pictures were in the program book and she had spoken to them on the phone and even offered them money off to get them there? I just don't understand this. We were coming regardless, so why lie about the others coming, it's just the principle of the whole matter? My feelings are just so hurt over being taken, I just can't believe that she would do the things she did. Before I close I just want to add my 2 cents about TPabst "storming" into the ballroom. You better believe she did it and had every right to do just as she did. She received HALF of her money when others were receiving the full amount. She was not mean or rude, she was simply standing up for her child just the same as the rest of us would do, so YOU GO Teresa!!!! Rest assured that those of us that know you at all, know you were completely justified in your actions. HUGE congrats on the whole "Fla Trio" on your wins. I enjoyed talking to you and your whole family!! Congrats also to Andi's special friends Winter, Savannah, Mikayla, Ariel, and anyone else I may be leaving out! We can't wait to see you all at the next one. And to Andi - you know mommy is proud of you for just having the courage to try, it just wasn't your turn, but if you stay as sweet as you are, your turn will come soon, I love you baby!! L. Murray
