i'm accepted into this and it'll be going down in december... i dont really want to hand these people $500, but ive heard hugely different reviews on this one site... now i'm totally confused.
seems like the girls who did well loved the whole experience, and those who lost only remembered to negative parts... i'll probably lose.. so i dont know what to do!!
>The experience for first time people can be kind of nerve wrecking. you want to find as much information about the pageant as you can but the reality of it is that the information is not there. if you dont actually go to the information session and listen for yourself you wont know. by excepting the invitation and attending the session is how you will find out if its a scam or not. me i knew it was all about money but i wanted to participate anyways. i had never participated in anything like this beforehand plus i was getting older so i thought it would be a great opportunity.. they say that there is no experienced needed and they will teach you everything you need to know to win but the fact of the matter is they really dont. for those who dont catch on that fast it definitely takes more than an hour or two to learn how to walk properly. i made it to the top ten.. when you are a top ten finalists they pay your way into nationals competition but.. you still have to find your way there and back.. pay your own hotel expenses which is very expensive because they require all contestants to stay at the rosen hotel.. and they must have a chaperone.. staying there could cost up to i think it was about 600 for the contestant and more than that for the chaperone. although i got a bid to go on i decided not to compete in the next level because when it all boils down all your doing is investing more and more money that all of ppl dont have and your not guaranteed a win. the experience is great but if you really think about it your paying for a crown thats the reality of it.. why pay all this money just so someone to tell you your beautiful u shouldnt have to pay anything to be crowned beautiful.. your beauty came without a price so why do u have to pay to be called as such.. patty wasnt there like she said she will be.. she was probably going around giving other young girls false hopes.. its all about inner beauty and that was a bunch of bullcrap.. i met so many girls who were so innocent and beautiful inside maybe not as much so on the outside who should have at least made it to the top ten at least...and furthermore you pay all this money and you get nothing..nothing but a piece of paper that says thanks for participating it should say thanks for giving us all your money.. everyone should have at least gotten a trophy didnt they deserve that i mean they didnt pay $500 how much could a trophy possibly cost.. not to mention many of the girls paid for miss photogenic which was like 125 more..all this money.. i say its a scam as with lots of other things in the world but its up to the person to really decide if this is something they would like to invest in..
