Winning a pageant cannot guarantee you a career or prolong your shelf-life visibility wise but this requires talent and luck to embark on a successful career in entertainment business. Often, we observe that most of these Beauty Queens have a problem to detach themselves from the pageant title before they can build their OWN names in the entertainment world. Some of the unfortunate ones will keep on attaching their names with the pageant title until they leave the industry.
As for myself, holding a prestigious pageant title for the past two years, I did not find my title particularly help me in getting more modeling assignments or more recognition from the industry. On the other hand, I need to focus on my talents to get myself out there for the public to perceive me and hoping the public will recognize my talent.
Why there are so many girls desperately joining pageants? Apparently, these girls hope to get themselves into the industry and eventually build their names up from there. From pageant, these potential talents can be able to find their way to work on their talents and commercialize their talent. If you join pageants with the intention that you will be a big star in the entertainment industry but without the requisite talent, then you are having a misconception on pageant.
There is still a long way for these Beauty Queens to be a celebrity in the entertainment world. Celebrity life is tough, and I believe that only through hard work and talent can pay off the price of fame. There are many people in or outside the industry who will try to bring you down no matter how hard you try to prove that you are capable in what you are doing. My advise to those who want to follow a pageant path is Be Patient and think twice whether you are ready to take the challenges. Make an analysis of your strengths and weaknesses. In pageants, you will receive a lot of criticisms, judging from your outlook to your substance. Are you ready for the challenges? Are you ready to take the beaten path or the road less traveled?
