Subject: The State-Hop of ALL State-Hops Author: NewYorker [Edit] Date Posted: 15:27:20 11/04/09 Wed And here is the lovely Kim Harlan competing for Miss Geor...MISS NORTH DAKOTA USA 2010?!?!?! Oh my. This just takes state-hopping to a whole new level. I always loved JOKING about people moving to North Dakota to compete for a state title, but NEVER in my wildest dreams expected it to actually happen... (I'm sure North Dakota is lovely and apparently their economy hasn't been hurt too bad in this recession, but somehow I think job opportunities aren't the reason Kim moved up there.) [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: Imagine if she doesn't win. (NT) -- Fra, 15:32:03 11/04/09 Wed LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- old school fan, 20:50:26 11/04/09 Wed You know, I honestly think she's not going to win. She doesn't seem to have had much luck winning anything other than Miss Georgia Teen USA. Having been at MW certainly is not pre-determinator of winning a state title. I bet she's 1st runner-up. (NT) -- Tiki Java, 20:59:02 11/04/09 Wed Has she just competed in GA or has she competed in other states as well? (NT) -- Curious., 15:36:46 11/04/09 Wed Seriously! I am always the first to defend those labeled "state hoppers" as I appreciate that families, colleges, and job opportunities are spread far and wide. But even I'm having trouble with this one! NORTH DAKOTA!?!?! I can't wait to hear this explanation. (NT) -- MissMerlin, 16:05:03 11/04/09 Wed Yeah, this is as much of a leap as a certain former Oklahoma competitor who interrupted her undergraduate studies to move to Maryland to attend barber school in her last two years of MAO eligibility. Love her to death but I'm just saying...LOL...let's try not to make is so flipping obvious. (NT) -- Marylander, 16:30:27 11/04/09 Wed Who was the girl from Oklahoma? (NT) -- thanks, 16:45:22 11/04/09 Wed Are you talking about Leah? That's the only OK to MD MAO girl I can think of... and she returned to OK for USA after that!! (NT) -- RockyGirl, 20:16:48 11/04/09 Wed Yep, that would be Leah! And LAWD how did I forget about her?!?! Love her though! LOL! (NT) -- MissMerlin, 08:11:50 11/05/09 Thu Heck, she was my 2006 titleholder and I love her madly, too, but, Lawd, was that one painfully obvious state hop or what? In her defense, though, her father was born and raised in Prince George's County and she still has family here but that still didn't stop me from teasing her...LOL! (NT) -- Marylander, 10:45:55 11/05/09 Thu I liked her a lot, too! She, Jamie Ginn, and I were car partners at Sweetheart :) (NT) -- RG, 15:27:49 11/05/09 Thu She's a doll! (NT) -- Marylander, 16:18:57 11/05/09 Thu I agree - and many states will inevitably have people competing who are originally from other states because of school, jobs, etc. (like NV, NY, FL, CA, etc.). But...North Dakota? And even if people *are* moving to North Dakota, they're probably moving from elsewhere in the Midwest - not Georgia! Wow. I'm actually a fan of Kim and think she's gorgeous even if others don't but this is just so bizarre. (NT) -- NewYorker, 16:38:10 11/04/09 Wed I'm sorry but this just REEKS of desperation. (NT) -- Miss Conduct, 16:33:40 11/04/09 Wed Love her! (NT) -- Howard, 16:52:30 11/04/09 Wed Actually, North Dakota and a few other states, (I think Wyoming and Montana, also) are not feeling the effects of the recession and are desperately looking for workers. So I can see people moving to ND to get jobs that have 300-500 applicants for each job in other parts of the US. So she might have found a good job in SD that she would not have had a chance at in Georgia (NT) -- go where the jobs are, 17:00:45 11/04/09 Wed GOOD FOR HER!!! She is following her dream and doing what it takes to make it happen. More power to you sista! (NT) -- muah*, 17:01:54 11/04/09 Wed I completely agree with you, if you have a dream you should pursue it by all acceptable means possible - if the rules allow for it, then it's acceptable. (NT) -- Good luck!, 20:20:39 11/04/09 Wed I don't even care! I love Kim so much and have ever since Teen USA! I was really hoping for her and Alyssa Campanella to win their state USA titles so there could be a redhead top 2 at Miss USA. If that ever were to happen, I'd pull a Meemaw and take my top off! (NT) -- Drama Queen, 17:55:20 11/04/09 Wed I know of a gorgeous redhead competing in another state who will probably be a heavy favorite upon winning :) (NT) -- RockyGirl, 20:19:32 11/04/09 Wed Oh who?! I love me some redhead pageant girls! =) (NT) -- Drama Queen, 13:41:24 11/05/09 Thu Adrielle Churchill in Arkansas?! Please, please, please... (NT) -- : o), 15:41:42 11/05/09 Thu Indeed but Adri isn't a redhead! This one has not yet competed in Miss State USA pageants but has a great pageant resume... I can't say anymore til I get the A-OK from her :) (NT) -- RG, 00:18:45 11/06/09 Fri According to the Arkansas boards, Adrielle is in fact competing in USA. And I'd call her "auburn".....not quite red, but not totally brunette! (NT) -- Auburn, 12:53:23 11/12/09 Thu Kim's father lives in North Dakota! Good luck to her!! (NT) -- TNBoy, 20:30:39 11/04/09 Wed Really? Wow..so there is actually some sort of connection. Well, in SOME pageants it appears you simply have to have flown over their air space to be eligable. (NT) -- Tiki Java, 21:02:17 11/04/09 Wed No in 2002. An EPIC no in 2009. (NT) -- old school fan, 20:53:04 11/04/09 Wed LMAO!!! I couldn't agree more. She was an obnoxious teen, and I wish she would go away. She ain't all that. If Alyssa Campanella can't be our redhead bombshell at Miss USA 2010, then this chick certainly can't. (NT) -- BamaMan, 05:38:04 11/05/09 Thu Well you wouldn't move to Oklahoma and I am a big ND fan.... (NT) -- dessertdeb, 21:11:53 11/04/09 Wed There is state hopping and then there is desperation. (NT) -- John - Lives in WA, 21:23:01 11/04/09 Wed Is Kim Harlan being trained by Sallie Toussaint? (NT) -- Just sayin', 02:47:16 11/05/09 Thu Um, I agree with the comment (not sure if it was on this board) that the ND judges will pick a lady who represents their state, and not a state-hopper. I'm sure Brenda-Jo Farmer will prevail over city slicker Harlan (NT) -- ND vs. the Big City Gal, 06:40:31 11/05/09 Thu I have NEVER liked Kimberly Harlan. I can still see her "smirk" as she was getting off that stupid scooter. I thought she was an OBNXOIOUS teen -- never thought she was "all that" -- but as long as she doesn't break the rules -- I am fine with her "residence." Let's face it. Some girls will NEVER win at home -- for whatever reason -- and at some point -- it becomes clear. If someone wants ANYTHING that badly -- and it doesn't have to be a crown -- good for them for making a Herculean effort. I would do the SAME thing. I MOVED about a million times -- to become a News Anchor -- just a different dream. (NT) -- Dare I sign my name? Jerry Giordano. Agree to Disagree. Feel free to "bash" me!!, 07:30:00 11/05/09 Thu . (NT) -- ., 18:41:10 11/10/09 Tue Kim isn't doing anything that Katie Blair didn't do. Katie lives in Texas but her Dad lives in Montana, so she took advantage of it and competed there. Kim is just doing the same thing. Brandi Sherwood from California to Idaho, Katy Johnson from Florida to Vermont... the list of girls who left competitive states for non-competitive ones is long. (NT) -- Meemaw, 08:37:42 11/05/09 Thu I Brandi would have competed in CA USA that year!Love me some Ms Kimball,but to have been there to see Brandi win her Miss state title? Swoon......... (NT) -- Andres, 11:04:59 11/05/09 Thu That's supposed to say I wish Brandi...... (NT) -- Andres(no coffee yet), 11:06:48 11/05/09 Thu . (NT) -- ., 22:58:57 11/09/09 Mon Yeah, I should've added that I fully support her decision. God knows if it were me, I'd probably enter all 51 hoping to win one of them. (NT) -- Fra, 11:53:13 11/05/09 Thu LOL! (NT) -- I'm with you., 12:45:45 11/05/09 Thu I can understand that,Fra,but I would have stopped competing and had a sex change operation if Dia Webb had beaten me at state.......... (NT) -- Andres, 14:38:57 11/05/09 Thu Exactly. If it were really my goal to get to the "big stage" I'd be looking at every smaller state that might have me, as well as my options in other countries....why YES, my ancestors ARE from Great Britain..and, yes, I did pass through Malta on our Meditteranean cruise...could we fudge 6 days for 6 months??" Seriously, go for it. But I still say, the judges won't go for it...but, what do I know?? (NT) -- Tiki Java, 16:22:21 11/05/09 Thu Good for her hopping ... however by this photo I, well I think she has looked better. Maybe it is a bad angle, but did she get an "augmentation". I just remember her year ago smaller in the "augumented" area. Good luck to her! It takes a special woman to pull off a red head win! (NT) -- USA 2010, 14:22:57 11/05/09 Thu I have a feeling she won't win. Hey, Id love to state hop...anyone want to pick up the tap on a rental in another state that I won't actually ever live in??? (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 06:51:00 11/06/09 Fri I'm sure there is a loyal PCer who would love to adopt Fannie! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 23:06:26 11/10/09 Tue SORRY BUT ANDRIA MULLINS HAS HER BEAT, she competed in Texas, NEW YORK, California, then BACK TO NEW YORK. There would have to be some serious hopping to catch up to her. (NT) -- creepella, 22:09:43 11/07/09 Sat Yes but state hopping from the 2nd most populous state to the 1st or 3d is hardly comparable to this situation. Also, Katie Blair and Brandi S. never competed at the states they are from. The only possible comparisons would be: Katy Johnson and that beautiful blond girl from Texas (from 2004 I think) that competed as Miss Idaho USA, then of course there are El Paso gals competing in New Mexico. :D (NT) -- I wonder if they are really living in Sunland Park, NM. :-p, 23:25:34 11/07/09 Sat no sorry Andria did the most hopping which was the point , she competed in major state pageants yes, but she still kept the hopping (NT) -- ., 23:27:38 11/07/09 Sat She is giving Laviano a run for her money in this pic! (NT) -- MiMi, 17:17:02 11/08/09 Sun She is looking a little Lavilicious, isn't she? (NT) -- Tumbleweed, 21:36:05 11/10/09 Tue Why is it any weirder than Katy Johnson moving from Florida to Vermont? (NT) -- fan, 07:52:32 11/09/09 Mon Nothing is weirder than Katy Johnson. (NT) -- old school fan, 19:07:49 11/10/09 Tue Out of curiosity, since I wasn't a huge pageant fan in 2001 - what was Katy's "reason" for moving to Vermont? College, family? Many people in Florida have family ties to people in the northern states so I just assumed she had some sort of family connection to Vermont. (NT) -- NewYorker, 09:33:19 11/11/09 Wed And also...Vermont does attract people from other states for several reasons. But North Dakota, which has been losing residents for quite a while, does not. Although like I said in my original post, their economy hasn't been affected as badly as those of other states so I'm sure they're getting some new residents, but from Georgia? Really? (NT) -- NewYorker, 09:35:48 11/11/09 Wed This doesn't seem to be egregious state-hopping to me since she does have a parental connection to the state. The only problem with jumps like this happen if you lose, if you "hop" to another state thinking it 's an "easy win" and then you don't win. (NT) -- Wayne, 09:08:06 11/09/09 Mon I don't understand why none of these patties have state hopped to Delaware. If you're going to state hop, you might as well make a little history while you're at it. (NT) -- old school fan, 19:09:43 11/10/09 Tue I REALLY wish some of these USA state runners-up would 'hop' on over to Ohio. This state always lacks contestants of national pageant caliber. (NT) -- Think about enrolling at Ohio State...., 21:23:20 11/10/09 Tue I don't know how I feel about state hopping. I mean, if the girls meet eligibility requirements, then I don't care. I also want the best 51 girls period, but I feel badly for the girls who stay and duke it out each year hoping it will be their turn only to be usurped by a newcomeer who has relocated!

Subject: He's baaaaaaaaaaack! :-) Author: TNBoy [Edit] Date Posted: 18:04:49 11/05/09 Thu LOS ANGELES — Here comes Mario Lopez as the Miss America pageant host. TLC and the Miss America Organization said Wednesday that the 36-year-old "Extra" host and former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant will again serve as master of ceremonies for the live Jan. 30 ceremony at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Lopez previously hosted the Miss America pageant in 2007 and 2009. This marks his second consecutive year hosting the event, and his third time total for Miss America. “I look forward to taking the stage again in January and helping crown the next Miss America,” said Lopez. “It’s great to be associated with such a respected and relevant organization, and TLC has turned the pageant into a must-watch event.” “Mario has proven himself as one of the most skilled hosts for live events, and helped make this year’s pageant the success it was. We welcome him back and know it will help make the 2010 pageant even better,” explains Brent Zacky, VP of Development for TLC. “We’re thrilled Mario is returning to host the upcoming pageant. He is the consummate professional, and has unmatched charm and energy,” added Art McMaster, President and CEO of the Miss America Organization. The 2010 Pageant brings together the 53 contestants who are competing for the title of Miss America. In addition to the 50 United States representatives, the pageant also includes Miss District of Columbia, Miss Virgin Islands, and this year welcomes back Miss Puerto Rico, after a 50-year absence from the event. The 2009 Miss America Pageant, which TLC broadcast live on January 26, was the #1 program on cable for the night in key demos, and was ranked #3 among all television networks in W18-49.

(NT) -- Meemaw, 14:45:26 11/06/09 Fri Her subtle sexuality and her elegance are unmatched. If she doesn't win Nevada, I want her to compete at Miss USA as Miss Area 51. She had better be on that stage. I am obsessed. Please tell me all about her mother. (NT) -- old school fan...and if Bamaman even tries to come anywhere near this girl, I will cut him., 15:13:18 11/06/09 Fri Well, apparently after Joyce failed to make the first cut last year, she went out and joined her mama in the audience, where she whined and complained for the rest of the show. They sat right behind the judges, and her mom proceeded to loudly inform them and everyone else that it was only a matter of time before her pretty precious would be posing naked for Playboy. That's telling 'em, Mom. (NT) -- Meemaw, 17:22:41 11/06/09 Fri Oh. My. God. I need both of these women in my life STAT. (NT) -- old school fan, 08:19:03 11/07/09 Sat That's dead on. The year before, during swimsuit fittings, Joyce's mom was giving all the guys her comp cards and offering her to model for their next catalogue (for free) and to "remember her name; she's gonna be famous!" Don't even get me started on the movie we were all extras on!! (NT) -- RockyGirl, 19:30:16 11/07/09 Sat That's it...I'm changing my handle to Pretty Precious! (NT) -- Pretty Precious...formerly known as Tumbleweed, 13:07:43 11/09/09 Mon It's okay, I'm obsessed with Chelsea Thompson, the next Miss Universe. But I will also be drooling over this girl if she wins Nevada. Why don't you keep Nevada, and we'll arrange a kinky threesome with Miss Nebraska. (NT) -- BamaMan, 19:44:34 11/06/09 Fri LOL, Bama! (NT) -- TNBoy, 21:26:31 11/06/09 Fri Yes please. (NT) -- old school fan, 08:16:28 11/07/09 Sat Pamela Anderson has nothing on this girl! (NT) -- Bloo, 15:04:50 11/06/09 Fri I'm just proud to live in a country that still pumps out girls named Joyce Jones and Mary Margaret Bishop. You know, not like those non-American names those other people keep naming their daughters, like Tiphunni. God Bless the U-S- (NT) -- New York Guy. (Margaret Gallagher, on the other hand...), 16:50:16 11/06/09 Fri I'm proud to live in a country where you have the freedom to name your children anything you want and don't have to subscribe to some notion of what constitutes an America name. Go Joyce! Go Tiffanee! Go Abdulla! (NT) -- Wayne, 09:22:27 11/07/09 Sat Uh, Wayne, you do realize that was a joke, right? (NT) -- New York Guy, 08:35:45 11/08/09 Sun It didn't read like a joke and I'm usually pretty good at picking up humor. But this whole post confused me. She looked like a whore to me and everyone seemed to be going gaga over her. (NT) -- Wayne, 09:15:57 11/09/09 Mon I thought it very obviously read like a joke. I also noticed you took a swipe at Marylander for joking about Leona Gage, and you left the chat room in a huff over a misunderstood joke as well! (NT) -- Meemaw, 11:43:08 11/09/09 Mon Well, it didn't read that way to me. Sorry we disagree. (NT) -- Wayne, 12:28:38 11/09/09 Mon . (NT) -- ., 17:49:42 11/10/09 Tue I think her winning Nevada is not as far fetched as it may seem. Nevada always likes their girls sexy and preferably with big boobs. Katie Rees, Helen Salas, Veronica G. and this year's winner all scream "SEXY". Having said that, I agree she has to tone it down a bit for the pageant, she can sex it up when Trump will be around! (NT) -- thanks for positing her new pic!, 03:29:29 11/07/09 Sat Oh it's not far fetched at all! I've been to Nevada. I know. (NT) -- old school fan <3s Joyce, 08:26:47 11/07/09 Sat now now OSF... don't hate on Vegas and classify everyone there with big boobs and fake blonde hair..... :-) (NT) -- Stacey, 14:14:32 11/09/09 Mon I agree as well, if she tones it down a bit she will one to look out for. To bad Nevada doesn't post pictures of all their contestants on the website. (NT) -- Elin., 06:28:09 11/07/09 Sat I don't know what is more Miss USA ready?? The cheap lip fillers from across the boarder??The 2 tone hair?? Or the wonky eyebrow waxing...probably from "Hunni's NJ Nails" around the corner from me. (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 06:35:56 11/07/09 Sat Oh my God. I hope she wins everything. (NT) -- Fra (), 08:37:10 11/07/09 Sat Not to go against the grain here.. but I looked up some of her other professional photos and lets just say she looks to be a not in swimsuit shape.. and she doesn't look this good in the ones that are natural.. so I dunno guys but I hope you aren't disappointed when she shows up. Has anyone seen her recently? As in - last week? (NT) -- Gypsy, 10:04:38 11/07/09 Sat Read between the lines, Gypsy! She's being worshipped because she's a complete and total trainwreck! (NT) -- Meemaw, 10:25:57 11/07/09 Sat Haha I just wanted to test the waters - you never know really. Crazier things have happened. In that case - woohoo! (NT) -- Gypsy blonde moment, 11:19:46 11/07/09 Sat . (NT) -- ., 22:16:39 11/09/09 Mon Nevada pics are up! Those of you participating in Road to... better check it out! =) (NT) -- Elin, 10:32:01 11/07/09 Sat Woohoo, thanks Elin! It's no secret; I'm cheering for Elyse! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 10:47:05 11/07/09 Sat Same here... Webby, we'd both be committing treason if we weren't wearing our Elyse Cheer Squad uniforms today. I'll be getting text updates from Gaj and the Dads, so I'll try to keep PC updated as well. (NT) -- I Love WA!, 13:31:28 11/07/09 Sat Elyse Umemoto from WAMAO may give them all a run for their money! (NT) -- Isn't that what Vegas is all about?, 16:27:21 11/07/09 Sat Any word yet on how this one is playing out? (NT) -- Txpageantguy, 22:54:46 11/07/09 Sat ROBBERY!!!!!!!!! I DEMAND JUSTICE! (NT) -- old school fan, 09:23:03 11/09/09 Mon she will be on Hugh Hefners show (NT) -- his new GF, 02:07:51 11/10/09 Tue When I see this girl, personally I just want to know where to stick the dollar bill. (NT) -- can'tbeatemjoinem, 08:40:33 11/10/09 Tue It all depends--is she wearing a thong? (NT) -- Andres, 20:22:41 11/10/09 Tue Yeah, she looks like the "I wear underwear" type. (NT) -- Wayne, 20:24:43 11/10/09 Tue

I am a DEVOTED fan of one Miss Brittany Brannon! Rachelle looks FANTASTIC! I'll also add that I will be cheering on Tristan Topps......she is FAB-U-LOUS!!! (NT) -- Indy, 00:01:42 11/08/09 Sun Meems... I hate to jinx your prediction streak so far, but Tajonna Lawler... well, let me just say, Bless Her Heart. This is a great photo of her. But the rest of your top 5 are right on the money! (NT) -- InAZ, 00:41:43 11/08/09 Sun I'll be honest, I only had a Top 4. I didn't see anyone that looked Top 5 worthy beyond Brittany, Aiesha, Rachelle and Brittany. I finally narrowed down the last spot to Tajonna, Tristan Topps and Tayllor Creely and went eeney meanie miney moe. I decided it didn't matter anyway, this should be a celebration of all things Brittany Brannon. (NT) -- Meemaw, 10:28:51 11/08/09 Sun Tajonna competed a few years ago and when she didn't make the top 15, got her stuff and left! (NT) -- Drama Queen, 10:33:35 11/08/09 Sun Go Brittany Brannon!! (NT) -- TNBoy, 06:01:35 11/08/09 Sun I met Brittany in Vegas...what a flippin sweeheart!! She deserves it! (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 07:15:53 11/08/09 Sun Totally agree with you on that Fannie! (NT) -- Elin, 08:08:35 11/08/09 Sun Wasn't she Miss Teen America a few years back? I think it was like, 2007 maybe? (NT) -- NorthernPageantGal, 11:46:26 11/08/09 Sun I love both Brittney and rachelle, I will be happy with either, but I want rachelle as its her last year and she was crowned the mother of all pageants with me! hehe (NT) -- s.XOXO, 13:37:12 11/08/09 Sun I thought my arch enemy and her mom won that show... hmm my memory is too booze sopped. I agree, BB or RM :) BTW Shana, my roommate was at the tourny with you in TX :) (NT) -- RockyGirl, 14:01:15 11/08/09 Sun Rocky, I think sxoxo means she was IN crowned, not won crowned...? (NT) -- amber atkins, 14:40:26 11/08/09 Sun yes sorry she and her mom were 1st runner up IN crowned! that show was crazy but the last 3 standing were actually fun, I wanted rachelle and her mama to win, but carson and the other judge out voted me :( omg Texas was so fun! Rachelle is a die hard pageant girl who really lives for this, so I hope she wins, I met BB and she is stunning and will be on the Miss USA stage without a doubt. (NT) -- s.XOXO, 15:01:25 11/08/09 Sun S.xoxo- I have been watching AZ for years, and would LOVE for Rachelle to win. She is so sweet, and I believe this is her last year?...she would make an amazing title holder, and that girl can really work a stage! Brittany B has so many more years, and will go to Miss USA one day. This year, I am hoping and prediciting it goes to Rachelle. (NT) -- long time AZ follower, 12:01:24 11/09/09 Mon Me too. (NT) -- ., 23:12:28 11/09/09 Mon Wanted Brittany last year and I would like to see her this year. Saw her in Vegas and it just reassured me that one day we'll see her there. (NT) -- Bloo, 12:26:33 11/09/09 Mon I am pulling for Brittany Brannon! (NT) -- doubletrouble, 20:26:11 11/09/09 Mon I'm digging Britanny Bell! (NT) -- TXprettyboy, 20:44:21 11/09/09 Mon Rachelle sure is a looker-wow!! (NT) -- Andres, 12:10:34 11/10/09 Tue

Subject: Name That Pageant! Author: Indy [Edit] Date Posted: 12:53:54 11/09/09 Mon It's a "Name That Pageant" Jamboree! Can YOU name these pageants??? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] Replies: Middle one should be Miss Florida Teen USA 2006, I spot Jennifer Wooten. (NT) -- Elin, 13:18:41 11/09/09 Mon Correct! (NT) -- Indy, 23:12:57 11/09/09 Mon The girl in the bottom picture in the black dress looks like Kaitlyn Brunell, former MAOT. So would it be Florida USA Teen? (NT) -- Txpageantguy, 13:32:12 11/09/09 Mon Bottom one is Miss TN MAO a few years ago. 1st runner up was Jessica Wheeler. The winner is on the right (can't think of her name, Tara ?) (NT) -- MK, 13:42:56 11/09/09 Mon That'd be Tara Burns. Interestingly, both Wheeler and Burns were crossovers from Alabama. (NT) -- whoo, 14:11:15 11/09/09 Mon Which makes me giggle because I thought the girl on the right bore a resemblance to Alexa Jones! (NT) -- MissMerlin, 14:14:09 11/09/09 Mon I competed in that pageant! I was hoping I'd finally get one of these! (NT) -- Somebody still beat me to it! :), 18:18:48 11/09/09 Mon First is Miss Delaware USA 2004. 2nd from right is the winner Courtney Purdy! (NT) -- Rachelle, 14:34:57 11/09/09 Mon These are so frustrating! I've been staring at the first photo for 10 min. and I know I know that girl in the deep black dress. I think it's Courtney Purdy from DE, which would maybe make this DE USA 04. These things always piss me off! (NT) -- Meemaw, 14:43:43 11/09/09 Mon .....(evil laugh)........ (NT) -- Indy, 16:25:37 11/09/09 Mon I really liked Wheeler. I thought she was a knockout- but her state hopping hurt her. (NT) -- Held by request, 07:20:11 11/10/09 Tue Indy-You made my week, thanks for this!! (NT) -- Howard, 10:21:00 11/10/09 Tue
