I was just wondering if anyone has ever been in a pageant? Are there alot of you? Men, Women, Kids, whether its national or just a local thing... And how was it?

I was in a couple when I was a teenager. I think they can be really good for girls, as long as you don't have crazy parents that push you into them. Luckily, my parents were very supportive. I won the title in one of them, and the second one I received the most photogenic award. I walked away from both feeling pretty good!

Yeah, I was in a bunch in California when I was a preteen in the late 80s. They were all local city stuff, and I won a few titles.
The only reason I wanted to do them was I wanted to wear the pretty ballroom evening gowns! My mom owned a wedding shop, and pageant girls always came in to order their dresses.
My mom was definitely NOT a stage mother. We did it for fun, but the petty stuff backstage was awful... other girls being mean, mothers being cruel to their daughters and other contestants,etc..
I quit when I discovered acting. I liked being recognized for my acting abilities rather than my looks which had nothing to do with me.
I think pageants are a waste of time and money.

I did those children beauty pageants, ya know the ones that are all "really horrible". I admit some of the things I saw and heard were ridiculus, but I met some really cool people and got to win some cool stuff (um like money!)

No, but I did just get a letter asking me to enter Miss Teen USA sponsored by Donald Trump. At first I was grossed out, since he's like 80, but I keep the letter around and laugh at it from time to time.. A lot of girls in Louisiana are beauty pageant freaks.. but you can DEFINITELY count me out of that lol.

Miss Universe is a big pageant and i obviosly wasn't in it or anything but i know people who have been in a Miss Teen USA and Canada. It's not just beauty that counts! If you watch Miss Universe, you'll know that there's also a sports competition, a talent competition and a swim suit competition. You gotta know how to walk the right way and how to please the crowd (they vote for who they think should be Miss Universe).

Well, i signed up for a Most Beautiful Mum To Be pageant and won ;)
Well, I guess it was fun for me cos I am a outgoing person and love being made to look pretty.
It was good exposure and i got to make many frens who are also fellow mummies and I still keep in touch with some of them today. ;)
