Tiara Girls: April The Conceited

So, Gwen and I were knitting and watching TV after she came over to help me put up my Christmas Tree since she's all about the holiday spirit and we're sitting there and Tiara Girls comes on MTV. This episode features April, a young Black woman from Kansas City competing in the Tri-County pagent. I'm like, "YEAH! A Home Girl". WHY! WHY! Did she have to be a raging self absorbed b*otch! *hangs head in shame*

Since April couldn't afford to compete on her own, she went around to local Kansas City small businesses and asked for SPONSORSHIPS. When I hear the word "sponsorship", I think of a nascar driver and his car? Where would a beauty pagent contestant show homage to her sponsors? on her sash? *pfft* She did have a "Thank You" party for her sponsors for which she was an hour late and during which she failed to individually acknowledge her sponsors or even display their banners. *deep sigh* Her honored guests were relegated to just sit there at the banquet hall waiting for April to arrive. No hors d'oeuvres, no drinks, no entertainment, no nothing. Soon after she arrived, Lorenzo (pagent coach) ended up opening the buffet since apparently no one else thought to remove the lids from the meat trays or prepare anything else.

In my opinion, she should have used the word, DONATION not SPONSORSHIP. *eyeroll* It's not like these businesses can even write off the money they gave her, can they? She told them that she needed the money to go to college. So, they gave her money and got absolutely nothing in return because she didn't win the pagent and didn't even go to college. It's people that like her that make it hard on others who are really determined and need assistance to help them truly achieve their goals.

Parent's Perspective: April's Mom

*you'll see what I'm talking about by watching April and her mother's response to the pagent*

I'm so so disappointed in her behavior and how she represented herself. She was admonished several times by several of her vendors that she should be on time for her appointments. She was even late for a pagent interview! Nothing like wasting an hour or two of your pagent coach's time or standing up your seamstress for a fitting. You see, she hired TWO (2) very knowledgeable Black pagent coaches Devon and Lorenzo and fired both of them thinking that she knew better. Nevermind that they gave her honest feedback and only sought to help her. THEN! She had the audacity to blame her loss on the fact that she is a dark skinned Black woman! WHATEVA! TRICK! YOU LOST BECAUSE YOU SUCK! *guh*
