16/f/ca. I've been in one beauty pageant in my whole life, and that was two years ago. Lately I've been thinking about doing more pageants and getting me involved. I really want to go into performing (especially commercial acting/modeling). Do you think this is a good way to gain experience in place of doing school plays/musicals (I hate our drama teacher/director with a passion...)? It was also a lot of fun the first time I did it. I'm not TOTALLY into winning...just as long as I have a good time with all the other girls, I'll be happy.
I guess my question is, do you think this is a good way to gain experience into the performing/acting field, or would it just be a waste of time?

The good thing is that you can win a scholarship or other money. The bad thing is that you could spend so much money on pageant clothing that you could have saved for college.
You could consider joining the debate team or defending a business plan or other idea to make the world a better place.
If you are enjoying it, and you aren't going broke, do it. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
