Diamond Royalty August 15 at 2:26pm

I received your Director’s Kit as a Christmas gift from my dear mother. She has known for a long time that it was my dream to start my own pageant and the both of you have given me the tools!!! I am now the owner of Diamond Royalty, LLC beauty pageant! We are still getting the pageant off the ground, but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with us! Our first pageant is our Christmas pageant in December, but our first official prelims begin in January. Any words of wisdom would be great!

Thank you so much,

Awesome for you. Stay focused on your Dream and continue to see the vision that you want to achieve in your Pageant Business. Always bring GOD into the central part of your dreams and visions and you will achieve beyond your expectations. I am so thrilled for you. It would be wonderful if you could link my Pageant Success Blue Print E Course for the New Pageant Contestants on your site. This way your girls can get a jump start on their pageant performance and this allows your pageant to run smoother because the contestant will be informed on what to expect during interview as well as on stage competitions. It is loaded with Pageant Tips and general knowledge that is necessary in order to win the CROWN! What state are you in?

See You On The Run Way!

As a Pageant Director you will setup a Registration Table before your Pageant. The table is set up right next to the entrance to the room where the Beauty Pageant event is held. Anybody, meaning contestants and the audience, will have to pass this table. So its the registration table before the pageant and then its the ticket and sales table for the evenent.

I put out the folders for each division and include the entry forms in the folder. When the contestants show up they tell the person working the table what division they registered in. This makes it easier to confirm that they paid their fees and check off their arrival.

I’ll lay out the name tags and the numbers for each division as well.  Don’t forget to have a supply of pens and pencils available for the registrators and paper clips for your staff.

I also lay out some clean basic mailing envelopes.The reason for this is to facilitate the people who want access to the judges sheets. I want them to be able to see the judges sheets. But after the show you have a lot of stuff to pack up at the end of a long day. Dealing  with the sheets at this point is too time consuming.

So what I do is have them put their name and address on the envelope and I charge them $5.  A day or two after the Beauty Contest I’ll make copies, put it in the envelope and mail it to them.

The better organized you are before the show starts the easier and smoother it will run for you.

Pageant History

It took a long time but I finally finished my new product for Pageant Contestants. It’s called Pageant Success Blueprint.

I call it an E-Course because its a course to help girls and ladies who really want to test the waters of pageantry but just don’t know where to start. The E-Course contains an Ebook with links to a ton of videos by myself and Pageant title winners.

This is not a physical product. So you don’t have to wait for it to come in the mail. You get it right away off the internet.

If you know anyone needing help with starting their Pageant Career tell them about Pageant Success Blueprint.

Go to my website Shelly’s Pageant Coach for more info and lots of videos and articles on entering Beauty Pageants.

Teen...Miss....Mrs...Ms....Louisiana Florida Parishes Pageant

It is always great to talk to people who share the same passion a s me. That passion of course is Directing Pageants.

Right after my Miss Metarie Pageant I sat down and had a discussion with two ladies who came to observe my pageant.

They also purchased “The Complete Pageant Directors Kit” and told me about their new Pageant called “The Miss Louisiana Florida Parishes Pageant”.

Donna Mitchell and Dawn Alford-Magee work as a partnership in launching this pageant. You can go to their website www.misslouisianafloridaparish.net

I asked them if they learned anything new about pageants as well as if they had any suggestions for me to improve the Kit.

They also discussed how they share the responsibilities to run their pageant. Please check out the video.

The first Annual Miss Louisiana Florida Parishes Pageant was hosted on August 8th in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was thrilled to be the EMCEE for the children Pageant. The contestants were all so lovely and poised having a lot of girls recruited from dancing schools.

The Pageant was a true success and the winners of the Teen, Miss, Mrs. and Ms. Divisions will go on to compete at Miss & Teen Louisiana USA and Mrs. Louisiana America and Miss Louisiana State Pageants.

Dawn and Donna are the directors and their professionalism truly showed in their production. Congratulations Ladies. I am so proud of YOU!

I like to put the spot light on Beauty Pageant Directors who I think deserve notice by the Pageant Community.
This month I’d like to introduce you to Ms Bobbie Watts. She is now the new Director of the Miss Louisiana Plus America Pageant.

Bobbie won the pageant and took the title last year. At the time I was directing the pageant in the absence of my dear friend Debra Balsamo who passed away. I told Bobbie I want to pass the title on to some one because I had my hands full with all the other pageants I direct.

Bobbie stepped up to the challenge and this year directed her first pageant. She is obviously passionate about the Plus pageant system and did a great job.

So I salute her and her co-director, and mom, Peggy Mire for a job well done.
