Hello everyone,

I just got back from orlando and i have just competed in the Cities of America 2007 pageant. Although the pageant was very nervewrecking and scary i had a lot of fun. In orlando you meet many new people and stay in a beautiful hotel. I was crowned in my city and i got a free trip to orlando. COA is not a money pit but i thought that at first it was too. It is very costly to go to Orlando even with my expenses paid for. Once i got there i realized how much money they need for everything (trophies,prizes,hotel,ect.). Every contestant in the COA pageant recieves a framed certificate,big trophy,and a cute diamond crown pin. Overall there were 318 girls there, and it was huge. The only thing i am very discouraged about this company is that in Orlando there are many girls who have had traning and who memorize their answers. I was very well certain that the judges would see through that but thay did not, and their whole Top 10 was based on people with "fake" personality. I was very upset because i showed my true personality and did not make it into Top 10. But, i had a very great time and made many new friends. At the information session they tell you they have many parties and such. There was only one party and that was planned on the schedule. Sorry girls but there were no pizza parties, spa days, slumber parties and such. Coa is a great company and they are very well organized. My best of luck goes out to all the girls hoping to go to orlando or who are already planning on going! Have fun and do your best! Any questions feel free to leave them on this website and i will try to answer them soon! Good luck ladies!

COA reviewer

Okay listen up everyone. I won this pageant at the local competition level and won Miss Photogenic. I then competed in the Nationals Pageant in Orlando and my fee was paid for. However, I must say that we were extremely disappointed when we arrived in Orlando to find that the last two years of winners were all competing against each other. (That saves the company money by being able to have one pageant for them all.) I've never seen so many girls in one age group competing against each other in any legitimate pageant. Also, I used to work for Nationals years after my win. I interviewed girls for this pageant and we were basically told to interview the girls, but every girl gets picked to compete. EVERY GIRL. Even if we know they don't really have a chance at winning. This pageant is focused on the money and that is all. It isn't a stepping stone to Miss USA or Miss America or anything like that so I'd steer clear.
