Show business is like that, too. Even TV anchors have the same challenge. You have to make each viewer feel like a friend. Some women specialize, sticking to certain types of pageants. There are the Miss America girls, the Miss USA girls, the swimsuit girls, etc.
Some women do all kinds of contests.
The feeling is out there that you may be alienating certain people who look down on certain pageants, but women shouldn't be intimidated by that. It's all about finding out what you can do well. I went through stages when I was more nervous. When I look back on the Miss South Carolina USA Pageant, I wonder how I did it. By the time I got to the Miss USA Pageant, I was less nervous.
