PRETTY BY NATURE - Copied from another board

BEWARE OF PRETTY BY NATURE!! I would like to have everyone�s opinion on this. First, I want to say that this is not a bash to any contestants. We did this pageant this weekend and the directors were very dishonest. The paperwork said that you compete as age date of pageant. My daughter competed in the 4/5 yr. age group with another beautiful little girl. They both did an excellent job. The other little girl done talent in their age group and the director was talking about what a great job she done and asked her mother how old she was. The mother said that she was 6, but she was competing in the 4/5 age group. -- No name, 19:02:21 06/08/04 Tue
She beat my daughter by one tenth of a point for the 4/5 beauty title. Well, I confronted the directors about her age and they told me that this happened at all pageants. I told them that this was not right being that it said on the paperwork that you compete as age date of pageant. If they were going to let this little girl have a grace period then all of the girls in the pageant should have had a grace period. How many of the other girls could have fallen back? The directors kept telling me that it was just 30 days what was the big deal and if they had not asked her age how would I have known. Well, you are correct I would have not known, but this just shows that your system makes exceptions for some and that your pageant was very dishonest. They also said that if they had moved the little girl up then they would have had to combine my daughter�s age group with the 6/8 age group. Well directors that is what you should have done!! Why was it right for this 6yr old to compete with a 5yr old when other 6yr olds had to compete in the 6-8 age group? Why not move them down? You said that you wanted to have as many winners as possible then why didn�t you award the 0-3 grand supreme and the 4-up overalls? We paid $60.00 to enter the overalls and you didn�t even award them. When asked you said that if you had awarded them that they would have went to the grand supreme winner anyway. Well, if she entered the overalls then you should have awarded her money on stage. If she didn�t pay to enter them, then you should have went to the contestants that paid to enter them and chose a winner. To the grand supreme winner if you see this post and you entered the overalls I would be calling the directors and requesting my $150.00. Also, this is the first pageant that we have done that the directors did not introduce the judges. I know that some people will think that I�m posting this because I�m a sore loser, but that is not the case. I know my daughter will win some and lose some. I posted this because of the dishonety in this pageant. Thanks for letting me vent and sorry for such a long post!! I hope this will help people to stay away from this pageant. They also have a glitz pageant. It used to be Dream Angels, but have now changed it to something Treasures.

I hate to say this but we did the Glitz pageant Dream Angels and although can't prove certain things , just a "gut "feeling, know it was a geared for the "BIG" Name girl(s). Won't be back to that one ever. (NT) -- No name, 11:10:11 06/08/04 Tue
We have done their other system and they change the rules to accomadate who they want too and don't care about the rest as long as their winners come out to be who they want. Ever wonder why their numbers keep dropping every year?? Wonder why they no longer call it Dream Angels and changed the name??? (NT) -- No name, 12:12:24 06/08/04 Tue
Several at the pageant DA National had my DD picked as at least the DIvsion winner if not a higher title. But that meant winning over some "BIG" girls and that day they didn't perform as well as my DD. Others brought it up to me not the other way around. But know that is a trade =off system and like poster said won't be back again (NT) -- No name, 12:59:10 06/08/04 Tue

We sent a deposit through paypal for their pageant by mistake in 2003. Even though I contacted them about it immediately, they still would not refund my money. They told me that I could use it at one of their other pageants in my area. Well, they're never in my area. NC. And after a year passed, I've tried to contact them several times. They're avoiding my phone calls and e-mail. THEY TOOK OUR MONEY AND RAN !!! And they do allow fallbacks to certain people and we'll never be associated with their system again!
