I ran into Tiffany Dufrene at the Miss Belle Chasse pageant. She was competing in the Mrs division. But the big news is that she is launching her own pageant and purchased the Complete Pageant Director’s Kit to help her out.
See the video interview I did with her during the intermission.

Hi Guys

You know we all need people to look up to for guidance and support. My own personal mentor is Mary West. She inspired me and hundreds of other girls to be our best. The show must go on was her motto.

I deeply respect her and love her. That is why I wanted to show you what she had to say about the KIT.

Shelly……I remember first meeting you as a “contestant” in Pageantry and how much you put into competing. And years later, I admired your ingenuity to begin coaching and doing hair for the pageants. All of this experience led you to the next step of Directing. I was delighted to see how you again reinvented yourself to become a Pageant Author of a How To Book on Pageant Directing. After reading the contents, I must applaud you for your comprehensive and detailed overview of all aspects of Pageantry.

I highly recommend this KIT to all perspective Directors and even those who have been Directing and need to learn more about their trade. I also congratulate you on the Internet Forum that you have created to reach out to the world. Job well done my friend ! Love,

Mary West 1992 Mrs. Louisiana-America

I’m tweaking the last few items in the kit so it will be ready for all you passionate pageant people.
As promised here is part 3 of the interview at Rhinestone Runway.

Hi Guys
Shelly here

I recieved a question from Lynn about The Complete Pageant Director’s Kit;
“Will it be available in DVD?”

The answer is no. To release it in a physical package takes a lot more investment and time than I have available to me.

As I write this I’m preparing to produce the Miss Belle Chase Pageant. I’m actually co-directing this pageant with my friend Chantel Autin. When the pageant is over I will be handing ownership of the pageant over to her. I have six other pageants I do each year and it is close to a full time job. (There is an example of the agreement to change ownership of a pageant title to another owner in the KIT)

The beauty of the internet is that once some one purchases a kit they can have access to the files immeadiately. No waiting 6 weeks for the package to come through the mail.

When I first released the KIT is was priced at $199 which many of my industry friends thought was way too cheap. You see when I first started to direct 16 years ago I would have gladly paid $4000 for this information. I was passionate about learning the ends and outs so I could be a great success. The problem was that nobody wanted to share this information.

You see any body who was a successful pageant director got to that level by scratching and crawling their way through the backstage of the industry. They were not going to give it away.
I had to work my way from the bottom to the top using this same method.

So why am I giving it to you for only $49.95?

Because hoarding knowledge and information is “Old School Thinking”. Where has that gotten us in todays society? You heard the statement, “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” Well by NOT sharing our knowledge and not teaching others what we learn society loses the opportunity to grow talented people that spread even more wealth and joy.

Dr. Joe Vitale wrote a book called “The Greatest Money-Making Secret in History! The secret in a nut shell is this: “To get what you want in life first give it away to some one else, then it will come back to you multiplied many times over.”

I believe this in my heart. This is the new school of thinking. There is more power in sharing than in keeping your secrets hidden away.

My dream is that The Complete Pageant Director’s Kit will help hundreds of people launch Beauty Pageants that are successful. That these pageants will help and inspire thousands of girls to find their inner talents and beauty and use these skills and talents to further enrich the world.

That is why I’m releasing this Kit at such a low price of only $49.95. It will be available as down loadable files so bookmark the page when you get there. To make it into physical books and DVDs is beyond my financial abilities at this time. But who knows maybe down the line what will happen.

The official release is on Friday January 16, 2009 at 8 pm central time at www.directyourpageant.com

Yours in pageantry
Shelly
