Subject: My child won Sunburst this year.

Here is my take on it. My child won Sunburst State this year. Its probably not hard to figure out who I am because there were only 5 pageant kids in that room of 70 contestants. We have been a round a LONG while in pageants. we have experienced Sunburst more than once. I understand the frustration with Sunburst especially about 4 years ago when it was last here. Talk about your pathetic directors! Well, anyway, we didnt get anything for our optional and side wins and NEVER did either! LOL! Anyway, it is a new day and age for Sunburst. We did it and are glad we did. Yes, we did risk ALL that money for an undisclosed amount of a savings bond, and yes, we found out that it WAS NOT worth going for overall. BUT...going for queen? 10 inch crowns, 6 ft trophies, custom banner, plaque and an undisclosed amount of a savings bond? YEP it was worth every penny cause it only cost $90.00. Shoot, a person will pay that for a saturday afternoon and win a 3ft trophy, tiara and a strip of ribbon with queen stamped on it. This director is a good one, she knows what a total package kid is and that is what she wants. Out of the 6 pageant kids that went, one won 0-4 Grand, 5-27 Grand, 7-10 group, 14-16 group and there was another that got Overall Talent. The last one was in a same group with another pageant kid, as it goes, only one of them could win, but they were both very deserving. I talked to the director, I told her that Sunburst would never draw the pageant kids if she does the bonds like she did this time. She told me that she would drop Alabama next year and she would give bonds comparable to other State pageants here. I told her that after this years bond issue, no one would even do a preliminary which would lead to getting state paperwork to let them know she would give comparable bonds. She told me she would put it on the preliminary forms what bonds she will give at State. I really really like this director. We who did the pageant and won cant fuss because we knew going into it that she could give us only $1 bond for winning simply because it was not stated on the paperwork how much you would win. I say sit back and see what she does with that prelim paperwork, call her and ask her about it or whatever. Next year, do beauty only if you dont want to risk all the money to see what happens, but i say give her a chance, I think Sunburst will get really good here. They want total packages, however, they want toned down h/m. (Just a little bit) and they want you to get real about what you would wear to a party (like in partywear) and get real about what you would wear to school (in schoolwear) I learned that this year! LOL! (No stereo type looks) They wanted what you would truly wear to school. Now next years judges might want a little more high fashion, you just never know in those events. They still did pick real photogenic pics and portfolios ect. Give it a try next year, I wish I could make promises on how it will go, I just think it will be ok though. (God my fingers are tired! lol!) I just though all of you deserved to know this info and maybe it will help all of you decide next year. Talking to the director is really the best thing. Her apparent knowledge of what circuit pageant kids are about is what convensed(sp?) me.

[> Well I can tell you this isn't her mother taking up for her and you should be ashamed dogging children on the internet. -- Youare a loser on your own accord and hateful as hellClickIn, 10:12:36 05/31/02 Fri

All that baby loves is pageants and she has never been anything but kind to all of the children there. You are so consumed with jealousy. If you think people can't read through the lines you are obviously as stupid as I thought you were. That child is always friendly to everyone! She will continue to be kind to your child as well, because she, thank God, doesn't know how cruel you are. You completely suck and you are oblivious to the truth that a child is an
innocent player and none should get bashed on here. How dare you, you pathetic trash heap! Making fun of children how low can you go???????? She only does pageants here and I beleive she has won everything there is to win at least once and has also won big in La and Ala.

[> I read this post and you bashers are illiterate! She was saying Sunburst looks seems to like pageant kids. all your accusations about crowning and winning big with no competition have NOTHING to do with the post. I see a bunch of spiteful, jealous individuals here. the post was only with good intent. I agree with the other posts that say "shame on you." Truly you all are making complete fools of yourselves, anyone that knows the pageant world knows from your posts that you have NO clue. -- !, 20:34:03 05/31/02 Fri
