Subject: Yes this pageant is a scam. My daughter in compete March, 2007 in El Monte, California

No I am not a mother who is upset her daughter did not win because I was able to explain to my child that this was a scam. I went through everything that has been described by others authors on this blog. The first person we met was Patty Neidert who claimed she won Mrs. America. I could not find any information regarding her winning this pageant. For the person who wrote maybe she had a different name, I don't think this is possible. She told us she had only been married once and Mrs America is for married women only. Why would she had used another name? Next, she said she would be at the pageant the day of the pageant but she was no where to be found. Like the rest of you there were only two men and one woman working with the girls out front. We did not see the previous people we had interacted with during the past meetings. Where was last year's winner to crown this year's winner? Where are any past winners on their very vague website? All pageants have pictures of past winners posted on their website. Is this because the past winners are quite upset when they find out this is a scam so therefore there are no pictures to post. Next, like others there were 160 girls in the pageant and the pageant was over six hours long. I also feel everyone who come to the original meeting is accepted to compete in the pageant. Finally just like one writer stated, about two weeks after the pageant I received a letter from All Cities America stating my daughter did qualify and was eligible to compete on Florida. I have never heard of a pageant that has more then one winner. Please explain to me the rationale behind this one. I am sure everyone that competed in the pageant receives a letter like this and unfortunately many will fall for this scam again. I have one last question, does it seem like they are targeting a certain group. At my daughter's pageant it was mostly Latinos and African Americans from a certain zip codes. During the pageant I started feeling like something was not right. I ask several people where they lived, I would say 90% lived in the same zip code area which is mostly Latino and African American. There were very few other ethnic groups. I would like to take them to the media because of what they are doing to these young girls is not right. I would like to see these people closed down. There were young girls crying and very upset. The bottom line is they never had a chance. I am really sadden that these people can take advantage of young girls. Please please please do not get involved. Trust me I am not a anger parent just upset at how people can take advantage of these children.
