What They're Saying...
Age Divisions:

Our baby pageants are for boys and girls ages 6 mos.--35 mos.



Darling Miss is for girls ages 3 yrs. through 15 yrs.
Previous pageant experience is not necessary.  We will hold at least one workshop prior to each pageant event to show the girls what to do on-stage and in their interviews.  Our pageants are designed for girls to have fun, meet new friends and to improve in important life skills such as communication & public speaking, confidence, performing talent, manners and sportsmanship.  Girls are also invited to join us again and again, as much as they (and You!) would like.

Divisions:

Mini Miss      3--4 years
Little Miss    5--6 years
Petite Miss   7--9 years
Young Miss 10-12 years
Teen Miss   13-15 years


Titles & Awards

Darling Miss:  1 per pageant.  (Title, Crown, Embroidered Sash, Trophy, Savings Bond & Gifts)
This is our Over-All title.  It is the highest combined scores in the pageant of Charm and Show Stopper.


Charm:
1 per division. 
(Title, Crown, Embroidered Sash, Trophy & Savings Bond & Gifts)
Many pageants call this competition beauty or modeling.  For us its much more.  Physical  looks are not scored and the judges are looking for more than modeling skills.  Areas of competition include Interview, Party Dress and Fun Fashion.  Girls are scored on Communication, Attentiveness, Personality, Stage Presence, and Modeling.  Judges also look for fit and look of clothing on the child NOT the clothing itself.  (All of the girls will participate in Charm.  The other competitions are optional.)

Show Stopper:  1 per division. 
(Title, Crown, Embroidered Sash, Trophy, Savings Bond & Gifts)
Performing talent has always been looked at as the sign of a "refined young lady."  We just look at it as FUN!  Anything entertaining that can be performed on-stage can be your talent.  Throughout the years we have seen talented dancers, heard incredible singers and witnessed great pianists...but..we have also seen amazing hula-hoopers &  jump-ropers, enjoyed silly poems & monologues, and watched great magic acts & karate-choppers.  Areas of scoring include Showmanship, Entertainment Value and Technical Ability.

Mini-Titles--These aren't mini because they are unimportant.  They are mini because they take a minimum of work!  These are each judged during another phase of competition or prior to the pageant.

Fabulous Face:  2 per pageant or 1 per division.  
(Title, Crown, Embroidered Sash, Trophy & Gifts)
Judged during interview, this is scored based on facial looks: cuteness, uniqueness and smile.  (In pageants less than 60 there is 1 title ages 3-9 and 1 title ages 10-15, for a total of 2.  At state and nationals there will be 1 title per division.)

Personality Plus: 
2 per pageant or 1 per division.  (Title, Crown, Embroidered Sash, Trophy & Gifts)
Also judged during interview, this is scored on attractiveness of personality.  How engaging and enjoyable is she? (In pageants less than 60 there is 1 title ages 3-9 and 1 title ages 10-15, for a total of 2.  At state and nationals there will be 1 title per division.)

Picture Perfect:
