national american miss 2008 fl(casual wear modeling)

[ShelbyyP]

For all you bashers, this pageant system is not glitz. And its not as racy as all the other pageants out there. Theres no swimsuit competition and a no makeup rule. None of its fake and none of its a scam. The only thing fake are some of the girls backstage who are only in it for money (avoid them) As a four year NAMiss contestant, i know what i'm talking about.

[MErunner15]

Oh my god! Poor girls! That looks like the most unpleasant thing ever! I mean really, pagents? That would be awful! I would die wouldn't you?

[IHeartParamore13]

Wow why do you think doing this (modeling on stage) is "the most unpleasant thing ever"

[MErunner15]

@IHeartParamore13 having people sit there critisizing you? yea i think that speaks for it's self.

[IHeartParamore13]

No one is criticizing you! It's a competition, so obviously they JUDGE you. There's a difference between juding and criticizing. 'Criticize' implies the expression of disapproval. Did you ever enter, for example, an art competition or something? Yeah, they judge you then also. It's not like people sit there going "she's prettier then her, she wins!" This pageant judges you on grace, personality, etc. ON THE NAMISS WEBSITE it says they don't care about glasses, braces, zits, or anything else.

[IHeartParamore13]

Do your research. First of all, no one critisizes you. The word critisize implies disapproval. It's like entering an art contest or something; people judge them, but they don't critisize your work. Secondly, it's not like people sit there and go "She's ugly, so the loses" or anything. ON THE NAMISS WEBSITE it says that they judge on grace and personality, and UNDERSTAND that teens have braces, glasses, zits, etc. Third, she is MODELING! Why would anyone be critisizing her?

[JoBroLuver89Forevs]

I can model pro-am and I do not even do pageants. Is this a glitz pageant? Makeup for 12 year olds and false teeth for 12 year olds. Will you win if you have braces on? Does your dress need to have gems?

[cutylatina]

what do u mean?

[XSOOOflyX]

No, it's not a glitz pageant.

[attackofdameepits]

@JoBroLuver89Forevs

No proam

No glitz

Braces have won

Just a dress that makes YOU sparkle

[tripleharmony]

@JoBroLuver89Forevs no there is a no makeup rule for girls 12 and under. it is not a glitz pageant it is about leadership and having fun and no your dress does not need gems.

[xoxopresleyxoxo]

@JoBroLuver89Forevs I competed in this pageant and it is way to glitzy, and it depends if your confidences shines through your braces you might win. I gave up the crown for a modeling agency!

[SKYEleriffic]

@JoBroLuver89Forevs

National American Miss is not a Glitz pageant, Actually it is about Inner beauty and about being yourself! Yes you will win with braces, and if you are under the age of 12 or 12 years old, you are NOT allowed to wear make up! Your dress does not have to have gems, but it will make the dress stand out, so have some gems, But dont go over board! And make sure the dress doesnt over power you! The judges want to see you for you! Not some fake doll! And no Flippers! :D

[hotchonga]

Iam going to be there

[cutylatina]

good luck!! have fun!:)

[Chaiina]

I'm so excited!!! I'm competing this year!!! =)

[LucyMarieJonas]

[SHOWSTOOPER9]

i might do it on july for 2009 i have always wanted to be in a pageat and it is expensive but i gains confidence and i will be competing in the pre teen divsion for 10-12 years old thnks and reply

[sh311an]

@LucyMarieJonas I got a letter my mom agrees but my dad is being mean!

[iluvjackwhitemost]

i was considering doing this, but my mom said it was TOO much $. =[ i think i'm going to do this in 09 though

[WhiteAngelTears]

how much is it?

[iluvjackwhitemost]

i don't remeber but it can cost $1000 plus, which includes a hotel room, dress, clothes, makeup (teens), and for those who have unstraight teeth may want one of those falsies used in pageants on teeth (i forget what they're called but they are called essential by contestants)

[WhiteAngelTears]

jeez I don't think I can go then :/

[55xxSwEeTxmExx55]

WHAT.? its only 440!

I competed in NAMISS (new york.) and WON miss new york.

they have a no make up rule for 12 and under. its totally not about outer beauty, its all about the inner beauty, poise and confidence

[shortysjus2fly]

your so wrong i did NAM and i dont have straight teeth and I came in 1st runner up for teen, and it cost me way less than a gran

[balletdreams93]

iluvjackwhitemost must not have a clue what namiss is about. You do not need veneers to cover unstraight teeth. namiss chooses their winners by their NATURAL beauty. Makeup should be what you would wear to school (very natural). they do not want a made up barbie doll as their queen. it costs 440 dollars, but After you have competed once, you get special pageant discounts in the next years. it was a great experience for me and it gives you the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself :).

[55xxSwEeTxmExx55]

i did namiss and won miss NY i caNnot wait for this year

[RASCALBLAKE]

omg i love namiss
