Facts

Did you knowwwwwwww, pageants are considered, a "sport"?

There is at least 700,000 beauty contests held each year, only in the United States. And that 3-4 MILLION people enter them each year.

All lot of people think that pageants are just spinning around in a dress but really there are a lot of catergories, like ;

Talent; like singing, dancing, playing the piano, whatever floats your boat.

Swim wear; is a scary thing, sparkly bikin's is usually what it consists of.

Sports wear; anything you could do a sport in, although I wouldnt be able to do a sport in it.

Western wear; Big hats, brands, and cowboy boots, oh not to mention lots of beads, and sparkles.

Casual wear; likeee school wear, something you would wear out, but cuter.

Formal wear; The main event, and usually what your being judged on, so this ones important, have a good dress and a nice smile I say.

Those are basic ones but I have heard of some crazy catergories. But i guess it depends on the peageant, and the circumstances.

I want to also let you in on a little secret, everything that those girls are wearing, is most likely fake. Like, their eyelashes, hair, teeth, and probably almost a lot of other body parts.

But what's really fun is when you are 5 years old, and your pageant coach tells you that your going to work out... work out! At five ! So yes, I would say people do some crazzzy things. Don't always be afriad of girls like this. Because it's always so sterotypical. I think that doing it acts almost as exposure. Every time you do a pageant you become known to SOMEBODY. so the more you do- the better it is. The prizes can range from scholarships, lots of money, a little money, to a bike, and candy. But hey; a prize is a prize.
