So get out of pageants. that's an easy way to avoid being taken.

>>Hi. My name is joanna,, i entered 2 of my daughter to this pagent and payed over 2000.00 on cost alone on there pagent...with out cost of clothes and travel and everything els that they charged..I totaly agree with you. They charged me 149.00 for pictures when i receive them they were in a cd, what the hell i was expecting pictures not no cds. They also told me since i had was getting the pics for both my girls i would only pay 1/2 prise on the pics. until this day i still have not received any discount..not only have i not received the discount,,but i also received the cds damaged,,one scratched and the other cracked. so until today 7/2/07 i still have not been able to see the pics. They should be ashamed of them selfs... I have been calling them to complain. on the cds that i received, noone is ever available. i have left message after message and they have not returned my call. They also explained to all the girls and family at the interduction that only halfof the girl would complete and qualify to compete in the pagent on the day of the pagent every girl that was at the interduction was also at the competition. I think they are a very big scam. I also reveiced a letter saying that my girls also quafy to go to Florida but i would have to pay another $2,000.00 for travel expenses. I strongly believve that they are a total scam and we should be refunded for all the money that we spent..the only good thing about it was my girls got experience. they promised alot of thing...about making friends and new people..which is not true..I think people should know what this compnay does and they should be reported. they are wrong and they are a scam..

First of all Joanna, I have to say I am apalled at your misspelled words and lack of any decorum. I mean if you are going to try to get your point accross, use the big words ONLY if you can ACTUALLY SPELL THEM! My daughter was in the Buffalo Pageant and it was an absolute wonderful learning experience. She did not place but that definately did not discourage her, she is already talking about the next pageant. How can you get away with calling this company a scam???? They deliver exactly what they promise , and if your daughters did not meet new people and make new friends did you happen to stop and think that maybe you might have something to do with it???? Look at your attitude! Did you ever stop and read the information booklet they hand out to you at the information session. Everything is practically spelled out to you in it, and nothing including the price is hidden. I also purchased the photo cd for my daughter ( and it says PHOTO CD on the order form!) and I already viewed the pics at the pageant so I know what I am getting. Did you ever stop and think that scratched and cracked CDs might have something to do with the Postal Service??? Oh right I forgot you are perfect, just look at your message. Just a word of advice, if you would actually spend as much time with your children teaching them social skills as you do complaining and bashing this company, maybe your children would of had a better experience than what you said they did. Oh and its good to know you will not have your daughters attend the Orlando Pageant because your poor disposition will ruin anyone else's chance to have an enjoyable experience.
