Subject: Let's start a new conversation. Everyone is welcome to join in. Please refrain from rude comments if someone doesn't agree with your opinion. We can be civil!

Does anybody know why so many directors are quitting? Why would someone shut down their pageant system? What would cause them to give up something they love so much? I don't really think it's because of bashing. My honest opinion is that these directors are having a hard time dealing with running a fair pageant. Just a thought. Hope someone can inform me.

[> [> They are just saying it's because of bashing but are really doing it for financial reasons. The economy has taken a dive & glitz pageants cost money & lots of people are not entering as many pageants as before so the directors can't afford it anymore. It's either go natural or quit I think. -- No name, 11:39:17 05/09/02 Thu

[> [> Oh That would be awful! Then she will have much more time to bash! She needs to hold 20 pageants this year so she will be busy! -- God Help us if she quits!, 22:32:24 05/07/02 Tue

[> [> [> But if she quit doing pageants mayber she would stop bashing because she bashes pageants and directors since she's afraid of competition. If she wasn't directing probably half the bashing would stop dead -- No name, 11:41:18 05/09/02 Thu

[> [> [> [> I think YOU are the one that would be out of luck here. I don't see her on here bashing I see YOU bashing her all the time. -- You would be the one to have nothing to bash. What has she done to you anyway? Answer me that! She could care less about the success of other systems D/P is the best! Your green is showing again, 18:46:14 05/09/02 Thu

[> [> [> I think the nasty basher is one person. Be strong and don't let them run you out. I think a lot of it is small numbers too and losing to much money -- director, 07:03:51 05/08/02 Wed

[> [> [> You know what, this is really old now. You obviously do not know Amy, Shannon, or Melissa -- I don't think pageants is the "right" hobby for you., 21:13:42 06/02/02 Sun

[> [> Nah. I don't think DP is closing it's doors. I have never seen there pageant with less than 20 contestants. They are too strong to quit and we all love that system. -- I agree though, it looks like there is one or two bashers that try to make themselves sound like more. Sad sad people. I hope they find something better to do with their lives., 11:09:56 05/08/02 Wed

[> If you read these boards the answer is clear why Directors are quitting. The bashing is out of control. Directors get bashed before, during and after a pageant. No one is safe, Accusaitons fly and people believe them. It's a small group of Moms stirring up trouble. -- You all need to take a break and give up this bashing stuff. It's getting really old and soon there will be no more pageants for anyone!, 04:59:31 05/16/02 Thu

[> [> I AGREE! TOTALLY! IT'S A SHAME WHAT IS HAPPENING TO PAGEANTS! -- Anyone else agree with these posts?, 04:52:01 05/17/02 Fri


[ Edit | View ]

[> Most directors do pageants because they enjoy it. Noone enjoys being bashed or ridiculed. -- It takes a lot of effort to direct and when it is not appreciated they find something else to do with their time. So do pageant moms & kids., 02:27:14 05/20/02 Mon

[ Edit | View ]
[> [> It is happening becasue there are alot of people watching a hard working director get bashed to smitherines because she has gotten pretty popular and is a big target now. Granny mo can't stand it. She and her daughters bash constantly and they have gotten hold of this director and wont let go. -- Hard to work your tail off and see that when/if you do get noticed you will be bashed for no reason but hatefulness. The Mandy Mo family has been in pageants a long time and has done much damage., 09:59:21 05/31/02 Fri

[> [> [> Your so full of it. Rhonda, stop your crap. Everyone knows you get on these boards and post lies. You are the trouble maker. Hardworking? yes, at trashing people. -- No name, 13:07:52 05/31/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> Let me add. You are not as popular as you think and there are far more bigger and better pageants than yours. -- No name, 13:10:53 05/31/02 Fri

[> [> [> [> [> There may be bigger pageants than Rhonda's but not better. My child didn't win the grand supreme, but you couldn't tell it by the size of the crown or the number of presents he got. -- Each child that goes is treated like a grand supreme winner. I know from experience., 10:40:33 06/03/02 Mon


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> What has happened to pageants when the size of the crown is the most important thing? What happened to role models and quality and character? -- No name, 10:59:04 06/04/02 Tue

[> It's hard enough to rin a system, paying everything out of your own pocket and only making any of it up if you get good numbers. It's not cheap and very few directors make any money at it at all. -- No name, 15:30:24 06/04/02 Tue

Then you add in all the political garbage about who coaches who and who wins what, plus getting criticized and bashed at every turn no matter who wins. If someone well-known wins, someone screams RIGGED, and if someone not well-known wins, someone screams about that too and decides not to do your pageants anymore.

Take all that and toss in the people who spend thousands on a dress, and hair and makeup and coaches and photographers, but yell bloody murder if they think the pageant director makes a DIME off the event they spend so much to compete in.

And there's more... all the time and money spent working on putting on a pageant instead of spending that time with your own family and that money on your own kids. So the question shouldn't be why are so many people quitting directing pageants, but why anyone would put up with all that to be a director in the first place?
