I was in child beauty pageant growing up and I REALLY enjoyed them. None of the things listed on this site (i.e. duct taping wastes, plumping up lips, fake teeth, ect.) ever occurred. These are all horrible rumors. I accredit pageants to the woman I have become. I am an excellent interviewer, I am confident, very poised, and I have a talent...pageants gave me a reason to take piano lessons for 13 years. I was exposed to all sorts of girls with many different things to contribute to the pageants and I am still friends with many of the girls that I did pageants with when I was growing up. The money I won from pageants helped pay for me to go to college. I can honestly say that I would not be the well-rounded person I am today without pageants.
I would be willing to bet that very few of you who disagree with pageants have ever actually been IN a pageant or even been around someone who has been in a pageant. Just because you don't agree with someone does not mean that it is wrong. It is a matter of opinion.
P.S. -- I hardly ever wear makeup and I've NEVER had plastic surgery. I feel totally confident in my skin. |
