The Hidden Sacrifices: A Queen’s Journey in Pageantry
Pageantry—the dazzling world of crowns, spotlights, and sequins—often hides the sacrifices queens make behind the scenes. Beyond the glamour, there lies a demanding path paved with responsibilities, personal trade-offs, and unexpected challenges. In this article, we explore the sacrifices that pageant queens willingly embrace as they chase their dreams.
The Crown Comes with Strings Attached
The Emotional Toll
The Price of the Crown
Pageant queens are more than glittering figures on stage; they are resilient individuals who sacrifice comfort for a chance at impact. Behind the smiles and waves lie sleepless nights, missed birthdays, and dedication. So, the next time you see a queen in her glory, remember the sacrifices she made—the hidden price of the crown.
A story from a Queen:
While I am someone who loves pageants, the debt incurred due to a certain national system has caused me to stop all together with big price tags. When in all honesty the awards aren’t outweighing the actual costs many pageant parents and queens have to spend to even get to nationals or internationals. Where I live though, fairs and festivals are a hot commodity and something I’ve recently began investing my time in and competing again full time. But there are some pageants that are lower level that are also slowly increasing their entry fees upwards of $125.00, not including the gowns, the outfits, the makeup and hair person that you’d hire to make you look perfect. The bottom line here is that not every pageant truly adds up to what the prize of it all is and the work you put into a pageant.
