The Pageant Road

Miss America: Misconceptions, Misuse of Time, Missed Opportunities...or on the road to success. The Miss America Pageant was once an event watched with excitement by most Americans. Now Beauty Pageants in general are a controversial subject. Is it good or is it bad? Or are we just over the whole thought of pageants? Pageant Road wants to explore the Pros and Cons.

Hello,I am planning on competing in the Miss Illinois USA pageant, and I have never been in a pageant before. I was wondering what are the first, last, and immediate steps I should take. I plan on taking it all the way!!!Thank You.

Oh my goodness; first let me apologize for the delayed response. I'm a bit new to tumblr so I hadn't realized I had a message. I'll be better at this in the future. To be honest, I'm not an expert on the pageant process that's why I created this blog to generate some conversation and research it myself. However, what I have learned quickly is that different pageants offer different things so you should really know  exactly what you hope to achieve by joining the pageant world so you can choose the best path for you. The Miss America pageant and Miss USA pageant will help you in different ways so if you'd like to earn scholarship money, the Miss America pageant is the way to go. If you're looking for the pageant to catapult you into a modeling career, the Miss USA pageant may be a better route for you. So think about it. Next, I'd suggest that you do exactly what you're doing... reach out to people and ask questions. I'd like to suggest Steven Roddy http://twitter.com/stevenroddy . You can read his blog for some pageant tips and news. http://thepageantplanet.com . He's a great guy and I'm sure he'll be willing to answer some questions for you. Come back and let us know when you participate, I'd love to do a quick post for you. Good luck!
