Subject: Is Miss Canada Galaxy happening or not? Author: Christi [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:38:44 02/22/11 Tue This website has been down since like November or something, they stated they were ‘hacked’ when a simple search showed that the domain name had in fact expired. They promised a new website was being built over the holidays, well not sure what holidays they were talking about because we are now at the end of February and still no website, there is just a photo of last years winners and nothing else. No contact info, let alone a date for the 2011 pageant, no information on how to enter, nothing. Last week even that page was down, and the page you were directed to stated that the page was removed due to ‘billing issues’. The single page is back up now but again no further information other than the photo of the girls from last year. Rumours all over the messageboards are that the Miss Galaxy pageant is not taking place this year. All sorts of rumblings about no date, no communication from the international pageant to directors, prizes, crowns, videos etc from last year have not been given out yet and we are 2 months into 2011. If the girls from 2010 prelims do not get to go to the 2011 pageant how will this reflect on the Canadian Galaxy group since it is one of the selling points for girls going into the pageant? If the Galaxy International pageant is defunct it goes without saying that the Canadian version will also be defunct, but would it not be the responsible thing to do to let people know so that they can make alternate arrangements to compete in other pageants if they want to compete in 2011? There are a few directors from Canada Galaxy that this affects also, if they are promising their winner to go to Miss Canada Galaxy and there is no Miss Canada Galaxy, it puts a lot of liability on the preliminary pageant directors. I know if I was a delegate paying to go into a prelim that promises the winner to go to a certain national pageant and the national pageant doesn’t take place I am going to be pretty pissed off and start asking for refunds since the selling point of the prelim is the national pageant. Its just really bad business and it affects people all the way down the line. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Is Miss Canada Galaxy happening or not? MEM 19:42:39 02/22/11 Tue You seem to have missed the point of the post. It is not directed at the delegates at all, it is directed at the pageant and what is going on with it. Not just the Canadian version, the international version is not giving answers to anyone and the trickledown affect could prove to be a big headache for those involved. (Most) of the Canada Galaxy titleholders are good girls, a few are crown chasers, some are downright looney lol but all in all the girls are not the issue. (NT) -- Christi, 10:39:35 02/23/11 Wed Its been rumored for the last few years that Canada Galaxy was bankrupt, and they didn't award their queens their prizes. Too bad. It probably could have been a really good pageant if it was better run. -- Karen, 16:03:08 02/23/11 Wed End of Galaxy pageant -- Patricia Webb, 18:11:37 02/25/11 Fri No thoughts on the closing of Miss Canada Galaxy? I bet you Shannon Smadella will start calling her company Miss Canada (NT) Patricia Webb 04:50:05 03/01/11 Tue My thoughts are this: With all the bad press and negative talk surrounding this Caroline person, maybe its a good thing that she is no longer the Director. Maybe this pageant can actually become something. Though this Shannon person won't be much better. I guess we wait and see. (NT) -- Karen, 08:26:24 03/01/11 Tue galaxy pageant Alexis 17:38:32 07/13/11 Wed Nationals are in a week, Mrs a strong contender, and the Miss! (NT) Canada please get a crown 01:31:36 07/27/11 Wed miss galaxy -- tom, 05:53:50 08/10/11 Wed no they didn't. (NT) -- Karen, 10:45:35 08/10/11 Wed The Miss was a semi-finalist, the Mrs was 1st runner-up and tied for almost all of the awards so it would have been close. The other two didn't place. (NT) -- Galaxy follower, 13:14:50 08/10/11 Wed Yup, only the Mrs was a finalist. (NT) -- Karen, 15:18:59 08/11/11 Thu
