I received a flyer in the mail to enter my little girl in the Pretty Little Princess Pageant sponsored by Starfire Pageants, Inc.
I sent in $20. About a week later I received my "acceptance" package to mail another pile of fees (approximately $150) to "really" register her.
I am just warning everyone that the cost to enter this pageant is not $20. All together, expect to spend about $200 when you factor in the tickets, clothes, program books, ad sales, etc.
Needless to say, I sent a letter for a refund and have not heard back yet. If I don't have a refund of my scammy $20 "application fee" I will show up the pageant to get it there.
I am only warning other mothers to do their checking before they mail and possibly lose the $20 "application fee" stunt they are pulling.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. My daughter entered this pageant in 2002. The paperwork was the same and the website was EXACTLY the same as it is now, except for the pageant dates/locations. Face it, you didn't read the imformation as carefully as you should have, and you cried SCAM where there was none. Don't get angry at me because I pointed out your stupidity, opps I mean mistake. Don't worry dear, this whole website is full of whiney cry babies that can't read before they sign.
Actually Pageant ###, . . oops I mean mom. They didn't start putting the actual application fee out there until this last year. Anyone who has participated in this Before say 2008 (which I did and had the same kind of $20.00 Mail in, and then later receive the information), could not check the website to find out about the heist. The program its self is very nice. Nicely run, and my daught and I had a good time. But the way the pageant goes about louring entrants in is dishonest, and thankfully, seems to be resolved. If you dont believe me about the $95.00 being their all the time, go ahead and call them. you seem really resourceful like that.
It's says right on the website there is an application fee of $20 and and ENTRY FEE of $95 for a total of $115. That's not a stunt or scam. It's there in black and white. YOU are at fault.
My daughter did this pageant years ago. It was fun and very well run. She wasn't even a runner up.
I went through the same application process that you probably did. I didn't have any problems. Did you bother to read all the paperwork? There is nothing misleading about it. The website is pretty clear as well. I had a question and called the company directly.
It's really not fair to blame a pageant because you didn't know what you were doing.
