To the disturbed:

Those other pageant contests and pageants out there doing similar contests I mentioned? Some are having it where you enter as normal with fee, and have your fee be donated; however, there are still prize packages going to the participants. Same thing, different idea. So in that case, they are entering and having a fee donated to a helping organization. Still prizes are given. I do this with my larger pageant. $10 of each entry fee ALWAYS goes to the "Make a Wish Foundation".

However, in this contest for Katrina that I am hosting, I am putting a different spin on it. It is separate from all of my pageant contests. You don't enter my pageant for a fee. You enter this particular contest for FREE, and the entry consists of your work efforts (by photo or by written) in the Post Katrina Relief. I dont see a THING wrong with it at all.

To Miss Harris:

Thank you for your heartfelt and complimentary email. However, this is one reason why I don't post at your "typical" voy boards anymore either. As you can see, it received one "disturbed" response, and no others. I use Voy only for advertising purposes. The post that was brought here was strictly posted in the Katrina Relief forum that Voy itself set up, so I knew it would be respected in that fashion. I do thank you for trying though. I was flattered.

I still think if you insist on giving a trophy waiting and letting the actual winner decide if she wants the trophy to be given to her or letting her decide if she would rather have the money used to buy the trophy donated for something more useful than sitting on a shelf. Heck - if you offered this option, I might enter for the principle of the matter - so I could choose NOT to have the trophy. Do you know how many 20-25 loaves of bread can feed? Don't be so condescending - it doesn't show well for you or your pageant.

That would be "Superior Stars Pageant Productions", not starts, and I tell you what, that is an option. If you enter and win, I will donate the money to the organization of your choice rather than the trophy win.

I do know how many 20 will feed. I also know that 100 loaves will feed more. If I can turn my 20 into a 100 in this manner, then that is MY principle of the matter and my choice. The more Queens that help, the more loaves will be given. I dont think you are understanding that concept.

Now, while you were taking the time to write this post, DO YOU know how many you could have been helping physically in that same time frame? Don't bother answering. It is a rhetorical question, and meant to be as condescending as your own.

I will now leave this board and some of its posters to what I can see is its usual Voy demeanor and flair. I have much better things to do with my time.

Good Day Anonymous,
Rose DiBiasi
Superior Stars Director
