Sparkles and Rhinestones Pageant Podcast

Hey queenies, happy halloween! It has been a while, but we are here sharing our feels, and how sparkles has been feeling lately. You might relate, you might skip lol

We have lots planned moving forward, so let's get ready for our decade era!

Our podcast brings us another pageant expert and this time it's Mikell from Carroll Crown Consulting where we talk all about coaching, the differences between US and UK, how to stand out as well as some fun pageant questions! Mikell is also speaking at the Crown Conference at the Pageant Expo this weekend!

Hello, what a year it has been for pageantry and for sparkles! We do our annual review of what needs to be left behind in pageantry and what we should be bringing into 2026!

Just because we share the same space of pageantry, doesn't mean I owe you a parasocial relationship. If I don't like what you are posting or are offended because you are going against my basic rights, I have every right to unfollow you. We don't need to stay friends with people just because they have a position in pageantry and I really want you all to know that. After what has be happening in the world over the past couple of months, we needed a chat.

This was the most we had in our inboxes when we suggested it, and the stories! Not sure I did this ep justice but we talk about the pageant outlets using AI for content, contestants using AI for interview practice?! As well as are their benefits?!
