Hello, what a year it has been for pageantry and for sparkles! We do our annual review of what needs to be left behind in pageantry and what we should be bringing into 2026!

Just because we share the same space of pageantry, doesn't mean I owe you a parasocial relationship. If I don't like what you are posting or are offended because you are going against my basic rights, I have every right to unfollow you. We don't need to stay friends with people just because they have a position in pageantry and I really want you all to know that. After what has be happening in the world over the past couple of months, we needed a chat.

This was the most we had in our inboxes when we suggested it, and the stories! Not sure I did this ep justice but we talk about the pageant outlets using AI for content, contestants using AI for interview practice?! As well as are their benefits?!

It has been a long time since we have recorded a podcast ep but we are back! Chatting about what has been happening in Pageant world and some things that need to stop...

If you have any thoughts, hope over to our instagram to tell us more!

Hello pageant world! The end of 2024 is not long away and we have dusted off our mic to bring you an episode! Today's podcast is all about why as pageant girls we should be speaking more about what work we do. You should not be ashamed to wear your sash with pride at events, remember the smallest wave can create the biggest ripple!

Thank you for all your support this year, Pageantcon and all the other info talked about go check out our link tree in our Insta page!

Hello, hello, hello

WE have been ill, summer holidays, just busy and I won't promise that we will be back posting loads of eps but every two weeks would be nice! A short but sweet ep about pageant advice and hot picks/takes as well as talking about some of the things we have going on as well as things we've stopped doing!

Dearest pageant listeners...

Hello my queens I am SO sorry that I have left the podcast unattended for so long! From finishing my second year of Uni, volunterring, being ill and a million mum things to do, I have not been able to record! But we WILL change (don't hold us to that!)

Today I am not alone and am joined from Down Under as the podcast takes to the shores of Australia where we interview Kimmi Jayne, of Kimmi Jayne Consulting as well as your newly crowned Ms Galaxy Australia who will be competing next month for the Galaxy International Ms Crown!

We talk all about pageant branding, how important it is to your winning success but also how you can gain valuable talking points in your interview as well as early access to the judges eyes! As well as talking about mindset to stay on top of your game and your mental health!

Kimmi can be found here on Insta @ kimmijaynecounsulting as well as ms_galaxy_australia_2024

If you wanted an episode about what's happening with the pageant world atm, this isn't it.. however there are some lessons we can apply. So I don't spill the tea (well some for me was spilled), we talk about when having the crown is not enough, ways to look after yourself after winning and protecting yourself because at the end of the day... pageantry is a hobby and directors are there for business.

Remember that no crown is worth a decline in your health

, both physical, mental and emotional

It's been a week since the very first National Pageant Expo and what a day it was!!

In this podcast ep I discuss what was said at the first conference, talking more about what was brought up and how we can improve on pageantry!
