Subject: Pageant Central timecapsule
Author: Andres [Edit]	Date Posted: 15:50:59 11/05/09 Thu Since I've been yapping non-stop about you-know-who, I decided to contribute something different to the board. If we could have a Pageant Central time capsule to be opened in 100 years,what thing(s)would you want to put inside it? A favorite post here? Something that you have heard a poster mention? For example, no timecapsule would be complete without finding the dyed-green shoes the girl who competed with Fannie Pack wore last year(which I read about in one of the most hysterical posts I have ever read). What would you put in the time capsule? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Excerpts from Kristi's Diary, the Ugly Dress winners trophies, and our Miss Pageant Central winning essays. (NT) -- Meemaw, 15:59:44 11/05/09 Thu My contributions to the PC Time Capsule: Meemaw's top, a recording of TNBoy's crazy Chat Room laugh, MLOP's book of cuss words, a couple of examples of Regina's fabulous graphic creations, one of BamaMan's parking tickets from parking overnight in front of various titleholders homes...and a laptop computer. (NT) -- Indy, 16:01:10 11/05/09 Thu From me and Merlin, a photograph of some Maryland titleholder being named 3RU in a national pageant. We could choose from Keri Schrader, Marina Harrison, Amanda Williams Joanna Guy or Kasey Staniszewski. (NT) -- Marylander, 16:17:57 11/05/09 Thu You left out Mary King, 3rd runnerup to Miss National Sweetheart. (NT) -- LOL!, 00:18:10 11/08/09 Sun MLOP's talent video, TNBoy's photos with titleholders, and the lists of posters along with some of the "get-to-know-you" surveys.

Merlin's crutches from after her "Sweden Out" incident. A "cock"tail... or Jennifer Ad"cock"... or a SC Game"cock"... you get the idea (and a Playgirl to go along with it). (NT) -- Kristin ♥, 17:32:12 11/05/09 Thu "Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something PLAID!" LOL (NT) -- TNBoy, 18:39:58 11/05/09 Thu Andie McDowell. I can't see a Preference hair dye commercial without thinking of Meemaw. (NT) -- daffodil, 18:56:46 11/05/09 Thu I like Indy's reference joke about the laptop. With that being said, a cd with all the graphics (a bit self-indulgent, I know). Every post Meemaw has made because she is what is great about Pageant Central. Flannel sheets. Shandi's evening gown at Miss USA. Finally, an audio recording of Tavia Shackles' "walk the walk" answer which I think to this day is the CORNIEST answer EVER, more so than Kelly Hu's "give her that chance" speech. (NT) -- R. Phellange, 19:03:12 11/05/09 Thu Whatever happened to Tavia Shackles? I loved her that year.........

Great post Andres! And thank you Marylander and Kristen (I have the crutches ready, just let me know where to send them!).

The way we talk it sounds like the poor woman hasn't had a new appliance in her home since 1972!(I do remember that microwave-didn't it have dials?) Too funny......... (NT) -- Andres, 11:48:55 11/06/09 Fri Leave my microwave alone! I had that thing since 1981 and I LOVED IT. I didn't have my fancy schmancy new one for six months before it made a nasty burning smell and conked out. You can have that one, it's sitting in the basement and I sneer at it whenever I walk by! (NT) -- Meemaw, 12:00:12 11/06/09 Fri What about your dial up modem? LOL (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 18:17:41 11/06/09 Fri The current backdrop of PC (wow), A snapshot of Arkie--(wow), Meemaw's raining frogs poem (neat), and a PC sash of some kind!

In all modesty., 10:14:31 11/06/09 Fri None of us have mentioned that we need a CROWN in the time capsule hopefully one of the PC regulars would donate a replica of thrie crown which would be of substantial stature!!! (NT) -- Hoochiebabe, 02:22:05 11/07/09 Sat Katy Johnson. $100 worth of chardonnay (thanks to jacking $$ from Chris). Digital camera. Every photo of a PCer and a titleholder.

(NT) -- Meemaw, 13:31:36 11/09/09 Mon Good one!!!!! And yeah... a little funny that we hadn't mentioned a crown yet! LOL! For the record, this might be my all-time favorite post! (NT) -- MissMerlin, 14:16:42 11/09/09 Mon Glad you're having fun with it! I'd include Vanessa at Miss America 1984,and a copy of her heighness at Miss America 1985.

This episode will be salacious to say the least. It does involve some in the Mrs/Ms/Miss arena also and there was some unfortunate drama at the end of the pageant and was discussed at length on Mrs/Ms boards. It will be a show for all shows. (NT) -- fyi, 21:02:47 11/05/09 Thu bump for tonight (NT) -- TNBoy, 14:58:43 11/06/09 Fri I thought TLC was very diplomatic about not showing the woman (or women) that the seriously whacko mom was ranting about. Talk about showing your as ... that woman (the mom) needs some mental counseling (and etiquette lessons!). (NT) -- Yes, she class (less, that is!). Loved the show!!!, 13:29:32 11/08/09 Sun* I don't think it was diplomacy that kept TLC from showing the woman. Every event TLC has recorded for KOTC, they have had release forms to fill out. If you refused to sign the form, they legally cannot use any film in which you are present. They have to edit you out. (NT) -- nbiap, 18:08:43 11/08/09 Sun Not true in my case, I never signed the release and I am shown several times. (NT) -- UPSET, 20:23:55 11/08/09 Sun It all depends on how substantially you're shown. If it's incidental, then a release form isn't necessary. If you're shown for several seconds up close, then they'll ask you to sign one. (NT) -- Meemaw, 21:12:01 11/08/09 Sun I was shown several times and for a substantial amount of time, never signed a release form. (NT) -- Very displeased., 12:28:26 11/09/09 Mon I was watching the show with my daughter and we were laughing our heads off! That Shane was so funny when he was asked to dress up as Betsy Ross on a patriotic float. "if I'm going to dress up in drag, I don't want to look like Barbara Bush" (NT) -- MissSwamprat, 15:16:27 11/08/09 Sun I'm getting a major crush on Shane. He cracks me up and he's a cutie ;) (NT) -- Mr. AL USA, 18:45:53 11/08/09 Sun At first I thought Shane was awfully young to be the interview coach, but now I'm convinced you either have the skill innately or you don't. He's probably learned a lot since he started and is a better coach for it, but the knack was in him all along -- and he seems to be good at it. (I also loved his crack about those paint-splattered jeans his boss showed up to work in one day...) (NT) -- New York Guy, 15:11:36 11/09/09 Mon When are they reairing the shows that were on Friday night, anyone know? (NT) -- i missed it., 22:48:16 11/08/09 Sun I looked on the TLC schedule for this week and I couldn't find any episodes of "King" airing this upcoming week. (NT) -- TNBoy, 18:08:34 11/09/09 Mon Looooovvve that show! They are funny even when they don't mean to be. I love twisted humor! (NT) -- proud mom, 15:43:11 11/09/09 Mon

Subject: Miss VA USA
Author: Chris_Parker [Edit]	Date Posted: 18:19:26 11/08/09 Sun The contestants' pictures are up on the VA USA website. There are only 16 contestants. Here are my picks for the top 5: Samantha Casey Traci Poole Tiffany Torrance Cassandra Clark Heather Decot [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Please take the crown Samantha Casey!!! If she wins, I honestly believe the Miss USA crown is hers to lose. (NT) -- Mr. AL USA, 18:42:58 11/08/09 Sun In most other years I would think you're right, but I would be shocked to see another fair skinned blonde follow Kristen Dalton. I could definitely see Samantha placing in the Top 5 and going all the way to 1RU, but Miss USA consistently varies the type of girl who wins each year, and I just don't see any blonde resembling Kristen's type winning, even one as strong as Samantha Casey. (NT) -- Meemaw, 21:34:13 11/08/09 Sun OMG! My worst deepest darkest fear articulated. It hurts cause I'm so fond of her, but I know you are right :( but I still have to cheer for her! (NT) -- Mr. AL USA, 21:40:34 11/08/09 Sun Except in the case of Chelsea Thompson, whose beauty and sexiness is so overwhelming that no judging panel in their right minds will be able to deny her the crowning glory. Regarding Samantha Casey... really good competitor... MEH in the face department. No. I don't want to listen to the hype about her all season, because I want everyone to be sick of me hyping Chelsea Thompson. (NT) -- BamaMan, 06:55:51 11/09/09 Mon How does 16 compare to previous years? Is it as "down" as it appears to be? And is it all due to Samantha competing - did the others really just give up? (NT) -- homie, 22:48:49 11/08/09 Sun There were 12 last year Homie so a slight improvement this year with 16. I was really hoping some of the MAO girls would cross over - particularly, Caitlin Utz...... (NT) -- GMAN, 07:42:18 11/09/09 Mon Caitlin Uze is gorgeous and would be a great USA competitor. However, from what I hear, she will be competing that same weekend at Miss Greater Richmond. (NT) -- Marylander, 10:38:09 11/09/09 Mon She crowned Shannon this past weekend as the new Apple Blossom Queen..... (NT) -- GMAN, 11:53:24 11/09/09 Mon She sure did! Yeah Shannon!!! (NT) -- MissMerlin, 12:20:59 11/09/09 Mon For me, Sam gave the best presentation on the MTUSA stage that year but her mature look and constant on stage primping cost her the crown. If she can bring the same energy and flow to MUSA, she will be a favorite for top 5 but I also agree with Meems that USA will not crown the same look twice. I also would not discount Traci Poole – strong competitor with experience – should come down to those 2. (NT) -- GMAN, 07:36:04 11/09/09 Mon

Subject: Congratulations Faith Bates
Author: TXPAGEANTGUY [Edit]	Date Posted: 11:54:45 11/08/09 Sun Just wanted to let Meems know (since you are such a HUGE Faith fan) that last night Faith got engaged! It was from all accounts, one of the most amazing scenes to behold. During her give up as Miss Ft. Worth, she announced that she wouldn't be competing any longer and she had come to the point in her life that she knew it was time to move on and get her life started. While she was getting flowers and gifts from her family and directors, the curtain started to rise, and there standing behind it was her boyfriend. He was in a tuxedo, and pulled a small box from his pocket. All the while Faith had NO CLUE what was going on. She turned and saw him, smiled, and continued to hug those around her. Then he dropped to one knee, popped the question, showed her the ring, and it was a classic OMG moment. All we heard was YES OH YES OH YES. What a beautiful couple they make! Best of luck to Miss Faith as she begins her new life outside of pageantry, and as she begins her life as a married woman as well. On a side note, again Meems will be extremely excited, Ashley Melnick won Miss Ft. Worth last night! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

(NT) -- Meemaw, 12:43:24 11/08/09 Sun Does he have any money? LOLOLOL! As my dear daddy used to say, "It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor man." (NT) -- silver, 13:44:01 11/08/09 Sun My dear daddy used to say, "If you marry for money, it will be the hardest money you'll ever earn." (NT) -- Ole Pageant Gal, 16:40:10 11/08/09 Sun Awwww I love love! (NT) -- RockyGirl, 13:59:23 11/08/09 Sun Faith is one of my FAVORITE contestants EVER. I loved here when she competed in Miss Tulsa and I was Emcee. She is one of the few girls shorter than ME! Plus -- she is a SWEETIE! (NT) -- Jerry Giordano, 14:34:34 11/08/09 Sun I'm not for sure the gentlemans name, but heard that he and Faith were introduced by former Miss Texas Rebecca Robinson. His facebook says he grew up in the Highland Park area if I am not mistaken. They look SO in love. Great way to end your pageant career, and what an amazing memory to have associated with it as well! (NT) -- TXPAGEANTGUY, 14:50:54 11/08/09 Sun I am a huge fan of Faith Bates and am sorry we will not get to see her as Miss Texas - I thought she was a fabulous contestant. Best wishes to her and her fiance on their future together. (NT) -- Upstate NYer, 06:45:31 11/09/09 Mon How wonderful it is to hear about a contestant who knows it is time to move on. She was obviously a genuine contender who would have stayed "in the game" for a while longer. How wise to move on, even if you don't know you're about to get an even bigger surprise.

Some heard this story in chat: A certain former Miss NJ MAO(still stunned she ever won it) and I were competing at a local. It was the last oen of the season and many times said titleholder would feign illness etc when she thought she might not win. Well this time she flees to the dressing room intears yelling that she has twisted her knee. I walk in and kindly offer her some water. She responds "I hurt my fcking knee why the fck would I want water" then threw a curling iron at me. (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 08:03:21 11/07/09 Sat This is how i played soccer back when i played ;) (NT) -- vertically challenged, 09:49:29 11/07/09 Sat You threw curling irons at your opponets? I like the way you play! ;) (NT) -- MLOP, 20:20:29 11/07/09 Sat haha, never done that. i did somethings on the field when i played soccer that i probably should have gotten carded for. i played left defense forEVER and i think because most of the girls were bigger than me when i played, i think the refs let my roughhousing go. lol i kept my aggression on the soccer field not in the pageant world lol (NT) -- vertically challenged, 22:21:51 11/07/09 Sat This is the most embarrassing display of American sports that I have ever seen. I'm glad she was suspended indefinitely and I hope we never see or hear from her again. Really uncalled for. I'd rather see a titleholder hammered and puking her guts out than going out of her way to physically hurt someone else during a GAME. If she was really such a great defensive player, she would have done well using skill instead of cheap shots. The proof is on the scoreboard. (NT) -- Gypsy, 11:22:34 11/07/09 Sat While I am disgusted, you must admire her strength. When she yanked that girl by the ponytail, I thought she had killed her. This girl is nuts... but for some reason, I laughed. To be that intentionally physical in front of people... did she think she was getting away with it? I doubt she really cared. She was angry and it showed. She turned this soccer game into a bit of a UFC main event. Honestly, I'd pay money and order it =) (NT) -- I Love WA!, 13:25:22 11/07/09 Sat She did get away with it! She never received a red card for any of those infractions. The only reason she got kicked off the team was this particular video went viral on the internet, so in order to reduce further embarassment to the school she was booted off the team. (NT) -- But IMHO the ponytail girl really played it off for all it was worth., 14:51:31 11/07/09 Sat Before she hit her in the back, the other girl elbowed her in the chest. And the girl whose ponytail she yanked pulled her shorts before she got it handed to her. Not saying it's right, but they were all playing dirty... (NT) -- daffodil, 22:29:26 11/07/09 Sat For those of us who were actually at the game, New Mexico was playing so dirty that the BYU girls were getting so incredibly frustrated. These are only a few examples of all of the dirty play. It was constant the entire game. Comparing New Mexico's infractions to BYU's is an uphill battle. One team clearly wins in the dirty play department. Too bad they didn't win anyway. (NT) -- ., 21:10:16 11/08/09 Sun Second hit always gets caught... (NT) -- puff, 02:00:47 11/09/09 Mon My mean girl will always be LaLa. She targeted two girls at Miss USA - Tiffany Kelly from MA and Jacqueline Madera from CO, and made them miserable. She sat in on their photo shoots making loud comments about their appearance, jumped in front of them whenever photos were taken, and constantly made comments meant to heighten their insecurity. She also strategically used her religion to appear virtuous while acting like a bitch at the same time. The comments Miss Iowa made about her on the radio (the host asked her who was the meanest girl and without hesitation she said "Miss Texas, she did things and said things to the other girls, I mean she was just NOT NICE!" were right on the money, and Lauren had the nerve to write her and say "it's a competition and if you don't put yourself out front you'll get left in the back." She could be nice to some girls, but absolutely awful to others, and for no other reason but that she could be. (NT) -- Meemaw, 11:18:48 11/08/09 Sun

I grew up in an Army family and married military and I can tell you, you NEVER worry about your husband, dad, sister, mother, etc. while they're stationed at home.

I am 5'3 and a petitte build and she was soo much tinnier than me (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 06:53:52 11/06/09 Fri So we have a few more queens that have been crowned and I'm still throwing my support fo Nydelis. Just DO NOT change her look. She needs a smoking gown and a sprkle of confidence to grab the attention of the judges. She can do it, I can just feel it! (NT) -- GoGo, 07:30:41 11/08/09 Sun

Subject: Miss England Relinquishes Crown After Bar Fight
Author: . [Edit]	Date Posted: 10:50:30 11/06/09 Fri Miss England Relinquishes Crown After Bar Fight Friday, November 06, 2009 PrintShareThisLONDON — The reigning Miss England has relinquished her crown after being accused of a fight in a bar. Pageant organizers say Rachel Christie has also withdrawn from next month's Miss World competition in South Africa. They said in a statement that the 21-year-old heptathlete will now focus on clearing her name and training for the 2012 Olympics. British newspapers reported that Christie got into a dustup with another beauty queen — Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones — in a nightclub earlier this week. Greater Manchester Police said Friday that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault after an altercation at the city's Mansion nightclub on Monday. She was released on bail pending further enquiries. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Haven't decided on miss yet, but I'm going with Alexis Swanstrom for the win in Teen (NT) -- amber atkins, 09:38:59 11/06/09 Fri For Teen I think Alexis is going to win. The audience gasped last year when she came out and the emcee said she was 14 years ols. The girl is something like 5'9",5 of those feet are her legs(they go on forever).1st RU in Teen last year aged out. Still thinking about my Miss list. (NT) -- Andres, 11:47:12 11/06/09 Fri Too many Miss to choose from, but I totally agree with Alexis for Teen. (NT) -- MissMerlin, 11:48:18 11/06/09 Fri In addition to Alexis Swanstrom, I like Marissa Mokler and Taylor Snyder as possible Teen winners. My top five Miss favorites are: Luna Foxx, Nicole Johnson, Ruby Amin, Saghar Vivana and Sarah Chapman (even though she looks like Carrie Prejean in her headshot). Had to chuckle that Ebony Cole looks like a candidate for the Leah Laviano award. And, why do Brandi Lea Milloy and Lacey Bollinger sound familiar? (NT) -- Marylander, 12:30:39 11/06/09 Fri Brandi competed in AZ previously, also IL, and was set to compete again but her involvement with Oprah's Big Give caused her to relinquish her title and miss the state competition that year (time constraints) (NT) -- amber atkins, 12:48:18 11/06/09 Fri Ah, okay, I remember her from "Orpah's Big Give," that's it! Thanks for the clarification. (NT) -- Marylander, 14:57:35 11/06/09 Fri Brandi actually won an Illinois local when she was interning or working with Harpo, then got involved with The Big Give and had to give up her crown (NT) -- Drama Queen, 18:14:36 11/06/09 Fri Lacey has competed in TX USA previously (NT) -- Andres, 12:55:07 11/06/09 Fri Lacey is a Texas girl! She competed in Miss Texas USA (unless you're thinking of Teri Bollinger, Miss MO USA 99 or Tara Bollinger, Miss MO USA 03). (NT) -- Meemaw, 12:55:53 11/06/09 Fri No, I definitely remembered Lacey and now that you mention Texas, I'm sure I must be recalling her from a Texas USA DVD. Both she and Brandi Lea Milloy struck me as familiar but I couldn't link either of them to California so thanks for the clarification. (NT) -- Marylander, 14:59:13 11/06/09 Fri

(NT) -- Fra, 11:39:00 11/06/09 Fri I would think that a former Miss America would show a bit more academic smarts... but then sometimes thinking under pressure can be very difficult for some people. I don't know if I'm liking her attitude. (NT) -- SL in NM, 13:22:45 11/06/09 Fri I like her even more now. Her husband is obviously a masochist and enjoys his submissive role. Ericka has been very up front and honest about her flaws and shortcomings. I see her human side now. Also, I give her kudos for not giving up last week. I think I would have just called it quits, but she kept on going and it paid off. (NT) -- Mr. AL USA, 13:28:25 11/06/09 Fri Ooh, I loved CLW when she was on; she and Colin mostly amused me with their bickering. They were so hard-core, and I was mad they lost to Chip and Kim (seriously, Kim did NOTHING) because of bad plane luck: they and NOB and Brandon got to the airport much sooner that Chip and Kim and got on a flight that ended up being delayed and then couldn't get on the suddenly earlier flight C&K were on. Gah! I feel the same way about Ericka here as I did when she won Miss America: over-the-top, intermittently self-aware and charming, mostly annoying. I love the Globetrotters and the Montanans. (NT) -- CAguy, 15:07:19 11/06/09 Fri Yeah Montanans :) (NT) -- RockyGirl, 16:05:17 11/06/09 Fri

She's definitely talented and above average looking, but I've yet to see a professional or candid shot that made me say "wow." Arkansas', Puerto Rico's, Cali's and PA's, however, have all given a wow impact. I dunno, I may be eating my feelings about it come MA time in January.

(NT) -- Meemaw, 17:38:12 11/05/09 Thu So MIss OK USA 08 modeled this at FAshio ROCKS. In my slightly intoxicated redbull/vodka mind I decided I need to have this for MIss NJ. I run to Sherri and stand there, check book in hand, She legit ignores my presense for a good 15 minutes and just in time ALyssa comes over and says "That is NOT a competition gown...and don't bring you check book out anymore". LOL! (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 21:23:18 11/05/09 Thu Alyssa was wrong, it IS a competition gown. The 1RU to LA USA wore it last weekend and looked spectacular.

(NT) -- arkfan, 09:49:06 11/05/09 Thu I just cannot understand why every photo that comes out of Arkansas looks like a wax fixture, portrait, or something highly over processed. (NT) -- fan, 21:27:30 11/05/09 Thu ditto! i didn't recognize her when i looked at the pic. (NT) -- pic doesn't look natural, 23:19:44 11/05/09 Thu Just FYI-in defense of Sarah, we wanted these ads to have a very old hollywood almost etherial feel, so we put a filter over the entire photo to blur it a bit. However, I can attest to the fact that there was no photoshopping, or "airbrushing" of Sarah in the photo at all. Just a "glaze" given to the photo to achieve the look we wanted. We did the same to the two other photos we ran in ads at the same time, one featuring Miss AR USA Chanley Painter and the other a top five finalist from Miss Arkansas 2009.
