*Is Cinderella glitz or natural?
Cinderella is a natural pageant! Participants should wear off the rack clothing that lets their facial beauty and personality shine. We want to see the child, not the outfit. No fake anything is allowed in our Infant through Miss age divisions. Teens and Women may wear nails, eyelashes, tans etc but
please remember to keep everything lite and natural looking. For babies through Miss, Easter/church type dresses are perfect for partywear and prom type dresses for Teen and Woman.
*Do I need expensive or custom clothing to compete at Cinderella?
No! Cinderellas motto is "Real Kids in Real Clothing". You should be able to dress your child for a Cinderella prelim using clothing from their own
closet. If you need to pick up any items, hit the resale shops and sales racks to find great deals on adorable clothing perfect for Cinderella! To get an idea
of Cinderella appropriate clothing for your childs age group, click on the tab at the top of the page labeled "What to Wear".
*What are the makeup rules for Cinderella?
Infants, Babies, and Tiny Tots ages 0-2 should not wear any makeup at any time during Cinderella Competition! Tot and Mini Miss participants ages 3-9 should not wear any makeup in Interview, but may wear lite daytime makeup for their on stage events. Miss, Teen, and Women participants may wear lite, daytime makeup for all areas of competition.
*Are there any rules for costume, hair, and makeup for talent?
No! Talent is the one area of competition where you may wear full stage hair and makeup and costumes may have bling. No large props. Please remember to keep costumes age appropriate and modest and there is a time limit. 2 minutes is recommended (2 min 30 seconds is maximum)
*How do I model at a Cinderella pageant?
Cinderella uses custom made music that incorporates harp sweeps and magic "dings" to guide our participants on when to move to the next mark on stage and to ensure each participant has the same amount of time on stage. We will offer a free modeling workshop at the start of our prelim to teach
everyone how to do Cinderella modeling. It is very basic and easy to learn! In Casualwear competition all participants (parent for ages 0-2 in Partywear) will introduce themselves into the microphone by saying their name, age, and hometown.
*Do I have to attend the state pageant?
If you win the Overall title at the prelim level, you are required to compete at the next level of competition, which is the state competition in Houston in June. Your Overall title will be passed down to the next participant who is attending the state pageant if you are unable to do so. In some cases this does not always happen if special circumstances impede your ability to attend the state pageant. Please discuss with your prelim directors ahead of time so arrangements can be made.
*Does my child have to wear a white dress for Partywear?
No! White is the official color for royalty in the Cinderella program. All of our queens, when making official appearances, are required to wear a white dress. As a participant, however, you may wear whatever color dress suits your style and makes you feel good!
*Does the West Texas, Permian Basin & San Angelo Cinderella delegation participate in any charitable events?
Absolutely! We have plans for several events and opportunities. If you see or know of something you would like to see one of these areas participate or help with, please contact the director. Let us know! We love using our titles to help others!
