For the experience, BMA was great. But in all honesty, you aren’t really competing for anything. My daughter won local, state, & a national title & no prizes were ever even mentioned. At some point the amount of work put into it isn’t worth anything in return except the memories I suppose. Highly unorganized, I feel as though Sammie should be doing something else w her time, that’s all.
We just did baby miss New Orleans with Miss Sammie this past weekend, my daughter is 1 and was in the baby miss age group, we didn’t win anything and that’s fine because this was her first pageant and I was in pageants as a child I know you can’t win them all plus we had tons of fun getting ready and walking on stage, and she was thrilled to get a participation trophy! Everything was great until the awards ceremony! Firstly I was pretty annoyed that a constant in the older age group was disqualified for wearing lip gloss to the awards! I know that it’s a no make up pageant but she was already done with both competitions and only put on the lip gloss after she was judged and the scoring was done! A simple "please remove the gloss” would’ve been sufficient.
Not to mention this little girl probably would’ve won the whole thing, like I said I myself have pageant experience and this little girl rocked it! Then the real problem came about mid way through the awards, me and my mother overheard four Pageant Moms and daughters (I believe they were tiny miss) talking about how it was their turn to go on stage to be crowned BEFORE THE NAMES WERE CALLED! and every time one of them said something they were called up almost immediately after to receive their crowns and trophy’s. I am very disappointed in what they have going on, this pageant cost way to much money for them to be rigging the whole thing! I watched a ton of baby work really hard for a tittle they never had a chance to win. It’s really disgusting.
I had my daughter in the Baby Miss Texas Pageant with Sammie Savoie and Baby Miss America Pageant in October of 2015. My daughter won her division and we were planning on going to the National Pageant. Everything was going fine until Sammie decided that their would now be 2 winners in my daughters division. When I found out that, I simply emailed Sammie asking why and she became a different person. She was rude and told me that she could do what she wanted and she decided that 2 girls were winners in just one division now.
I politely emailed her back saying that we would not be going to Nationals now and I did not agree with the way the pageant was being run. I say all of this as backstory because it seems that this is only reason she is holding my $20 book. We didn't receive our pageant books at the pageant but were told that the pageant books (book of ads that we had to purchase) would be mailed by the end of the year. It is now February 1, 2017 and we have heard every 'excuse' as to why we have not received the book. Some of the ads were submitted late (not ours) so that was delaying it.
Then there was a system crash and she had to redo the entire book. I have several rude and condesending emails from Sammie stating all of the excuses. Bottom line: it has been 16 months since the pageant. An entire pageant year (local, state and nationals) have come and passed. There is absolutely no reason as to why we have not received the pageant book. All I want is the book. It is a memory of my daughter's pageant and I would love to be able to show it to her. I have expressed that to Sammie and she has just become a very cold and disheartening person.
Sammie or what Facebook people call her #SCAMMIE will just take your money and run!! She ripped me off and thousands of others!! I promise you know if you join this pageant you will be on here complaining like the rest of us!!! She is a crook!!!!
