When it seems the in thing to have a platform, is it really needed? We talk about why you shouldn't "force" a platform, and that many queens have won without! A platform should be a passion, and something that you can actively do. It's ok to not have one and still work with different charities and communities , it just doesn't need to be your platform. We have more episodes discussing about what a platform is and how to chose one should you wish, but remember it's not needed by nearly all UK pageant systems! 

To comment or not to comment, that is the question! This episode we talk about internet trolls, educating others and when to get involved. If you were asked to try and change a person's negative view on pageantry, could you? 

How many times have you worried about your competition? Fixated and compared, just because they may have had a few wins or placed highly. This episode talks about this with the polls we had, and why the only person you should be focusing on is YOURSELF! We also discuss queens entering other systems after a win and in the same system. If you have enjoyed this podcast, give us a rating! <3 

Entering the right system that suits your lifestyle and needs are so important. You need to be realistic about how much you can give a system and of course after winning, what you can and can't do. There is no point entering a system that goes to internationals if you can't afford to go to them and have no plan after you win. We talk about pageants and how they market their systems, and what you can do to make the right choice. Should queens just relax after they win, is all the hard work done? Let's discuss.

But Hannah, that is the literal definition of losing! Well girl, let's sit down and reflect! 

We are back for our first episode of 2022! So the Too Much queen? What is that? Are you a too much queen? I say that a too much queen doesn't have too much direction, they want to be involved in everything and create so many things but there is nothing that links it back to them. I know we all went overboard with the social awareness days back when we couldn't leave the house, but how do they relate now? Do you have too many raffles on the go? Are you exhausted with all the travelling? Here we discuss many things.

We also discuss between the first 15 mins about diversity in pageants with my recent press coverage with the P in pageantry, discussing mainstream pageants and visibility, as well as the sad passing of Cheslie so if you want to skip to around the 15 min mark, I won't judge you. It's a long one! 

Ignore the fact this was meant to go out Christmas Eve :/ but in today's podcast ep we talk about switching systems and entering last minute into different pageant systems. the pros and the cons as well as getting out of the mindset that just because someone entered late, means they don't care about the crown as much as someone who has entered a year. Lot's to think about! 

When you are a finalist, you may either create your own series of talk interviews or participate in them. Remember that there is no point booking in, if you have no idea what to say! What can you talk about, do you have your events or platforms? If you are being the interviewer, are you asking the right questions? How long is your project for? What are you gaining from this experience? Lots of talk and thoughts!

We have announced the new PageantCon date, 30th Jan 2022! And this brought up the question, what makes a pageant expert? What makes someone an expert within pageantry to pay them money and listen to them, or receive a service.

Hello listeners, it's been a while! Pageantry got very busy! But this episode is all about preventing the pageant burnout! From limiting events, saying no, my top tip is to leave the weekend before your finals free so you can tie up all those loose ends! We do mention at the end about a session on Facebook but I was late uploading this, so go back and watch if you would like! That darn COVID!
