How many pageants do you do?

Being a Pageant Mom myself to an 11 year old, we have just branched out a bit and are starting to do more pageants than we ever have before. 

We did our first one this year  a few weeks back in April and we have one scheduled in May,one in June, one in July and one in November. One is a Natural Pageant and the rest are Glitz!

We are trying to find out which ones we like and will do again and which ones we don't like and will NOT do again.


I am curious as to how many pageants you Pageant Mom's attend each year? And which pageant systems you like best?  I would love to know and I'm sure I am not the only one.

I'm 13, I live in NJ and I don't do pageants but my cousin has done some. I don't know where you live (GA?) but here are some good systems:

Around NJ and where I live:
NES Pageants (Natural and Glitz)
Darling Divas (Basic Pageant)
East Coast USA (Natural and Glitz)
Magical Moments (Natural)
Cinderella (Scholarship/Natural)
Storybook Pageants (Natural and Glitz)
International Fresh Faces (Natural and Glitz)

Around the West and South:
Gold Coast(Full-Glitz)
Universal Royalty (Full-Glitz)
Glitter Girls Pageants (Full-Glitz)
Southern Glitz Open State (Glitz)
Midwest Dazzling Dreams (Semi-Glitz)
Southern Elite (Glitz)
Darling Dolls of America (Full-Glitz)
Novice of the Year (Glitz, only if your daughter has not won more than $1,500 at 1 time ever in pageants)
Fancy Faces (Glitz)
America's Fabulous Faces (Glitz)

If I were you, I would start out at the prelim or state level if you are low-glitz. If you are already high-glitz (flippers, falls, spray tans, heavy makeup) then it might be OK to start at the state and national level.

Here are some good coaches if you don't have one. I think I read somewhere you live in GA so:

Stina's Supremes: (One of the BEST in the business, hands down. She doesn't have any Supremes in GA, but she has some near GA in SC, AL, and TN.)

Katie's Kuties: (Also well-known. She does coaching throughout the South. Not sure if she does GA, but she does Skype coaching.)

Christy Cosby's Shining Starz: (Also well-known. Has Sadie Brown, Makynli Miller, had Eden Wood before she quit pageants. She does pageant coaching around the ArLaTex area.)

Donna's Studio: (Might be considered THE best in the business. She trained Stina, Amber of Amber's Angels, and other pageant coaches. She has produced Madi Davis, Taralyn Eschberger, Lauren Yee, and several others. Does coaching basically all over the U.S. and has produced multiple Miss USA contestants. Does skype also.)

Amber's Angels: (Also an A-List coach. Does coaching around the South and West.)

Amanda's Top Models: (Has Chloe Casey among others. Don't know where she is.)

There's also TKO and Jesse's Girls, but according to some, they're more 2nd-rate and B-list.
