Subject: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:28:07 04/11/02 Thu I've heard the CM numbers are low. I also know that a lot of the VA "pageant/total package" kids won a title last year. Who are some "total package contestants" that might compete this year.

My daughter has competed with all of these girls from time to time. Won some and lost some. But all of these girls are beautiful and their moms were very nice. I have seen them in glitz as well as natural. I would hate to pick! But I have to say that Alexis Dixon is my personal favorite. But I wouldn't count any of these cuties out!!!

I wouldn't want to judge those little ones. I am biased toward Alexis Dixon. I just love her. But I love the others too! I've seen them all and they are all wonderful competitors.

[> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: $$$$$$$$$ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:17:17 04/12/02 Fri A contestant with a pleasing face, good hair and make-up($$$), designer clothes (well fitting clothes)($$$), good pictures (taken by a good pageant photographer)($$$), and modeling lessons ($$$). So in other words the contestant with mega-dollars $$$ invested. And a little pageant experience won't hurt either. LOL [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ?? [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:03:29 04/12/02 Fri I noticed you didn't mention interview. Isn't Cover Miss known for interview counting a lot? I completely agree with the total package standards, but I also think some mothers just have great taste in picking out outfits. I think cost definitely figures in, but I'm not so sure the one who wins will be the one whose mother spent the most money. And one thing you can't buy is the facial beauty thing. Who knows what will go this time. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: * [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:25:42 04/12/02 Fri Interview does not count for that much. Hey- I agree with you that a beautiful child (whose mother had great taste picking out clothes) should have an equal chance....but lets step into reality. There is no way you can compete with a total package child in a 1,500-5,000 dress, a 1,000 sportswear, a h/m artist who specializies in "pageant hair" (usually cost 150+), $5,000+ worth of photos from all the best photographers (retouched of course) and modeling lessons from a top pageant coach. (And don't forget the fake-tan, the colored contacts, the bleached hair, the hair extensions, the flippers, etc.) Now don't get me wrong, every now and then a "naturally" beautiful child will pull the win....but 9 out of every 10 will go to the total package. Theres not a great number of total package kids in VA (a lot of them won last year and a lot will be in the same age division this year....but go to nationals one time and you'll see what I'm saying) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ??? [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:15:36 04/12/02 Fri From the way this sounds, I don't think I would want my daughter to be thought of as a "total package". Maybe we need to come up with a way to say: beautiful (inside and out) poised talented smart well spoken That is what I think a"total package" includes. But it seems maybe I'm just old fashioned.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ? [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:37:51 04/12/02 Fri Thanks for the fill in on Cover Miss. I know what goes at Cover Miss Nationals, but is ALL that going to be at the state. I mean we have a lot of the stuff you mentioned, but colored contacts and teeth flippers and $5000 in pictures. We thought $600 for pictures ought to be enough. Whoa! And we have been told that interview is very important and now we are told it's not. This must be one of those situations where you just have to be there to learn what's expected. Do girls who compete in casualwear have a chance against those in glitz sportswear?We have been told NOT to wear glitzy swimwear. It's seems like we are hearing conflicting things. Help please!

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ! [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:33:33 04/13/02 Sat I know people who have pictures from several of the top photographers. You do the math: setting fees (alone are 500-1000), extra looks, designer tops made just for pics, several finished "retouched" photos from each of the photographers.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Total Package Contestants??? Author: ! [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:43:35 04/13/02 Sat Cover Miss State is a very nice pageant! She gives nice awards and I feel she is VERY fair. You won't find that many "total package" kids at state. (but look out if you go to nationals). The ones that are there will be a joy to watch- because they are beautiful kids...and good at what they do! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
