Subject Author Date I would like to know, also. (NT) No name (NoHost/167.172.237.126) 14:52:09 09/02/24 Mon Could this be another one of her lies? (NT) -- No name, 00:19:02 09/03/24 Tue (syn-035-150-243-200.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.200) In the early days, Robin frequently talked about having enough money to run MAO for another hundred years. What is clearer now is that Robin wants to only use MAO as her cash cow, spending only $100 of her own money (NT) No name (NoHost/172.58.241.217) 20:34:41 09/03/24 Tue The question is where does she plan on getting the money for the pageant on the dates she just set and released? (NT) -- No name, 21:12:38 09/03/24 Tue (NoHost/172.56.71.142) This is the stupidest summary I've ever read. MAO will NEVER be a cash cow. It's not a business model that will do anything but break even, at least for the foreseeable future. This is not at all what she meant when she said MAO would have enough money for 100 years.. She was referring to having 'ol Glenn as the financier/banker and the $100 was to transfer the assets. I've done that before with a company asset transfer. Go take a business class and touch grass. (NT) -- No name, 21:14:54 09/03/24 Tue (91.sub-174-224-196.myvzw.com/174.224.196.91) Don’t shout at us. It didn’t take us 10 years to obtain an undergraduate degree. (NT) -- No name, 22:23:07 09/03/24 Tue (NoHost/172.58.240.245) This is the stupidest reply I have ever heard. No professional leader with a business sense would ever discuss how much money they have to operate the business who isn't truly the owner. If you took a business class, you'd learn that when all your debt was paid, you then broke even. Any company can be profitable but what is done with that profit can be your downfall. Regardless what team you are batting for, the pain of going from Nonprofit to profit for those long haulers in this beautiful brand, is at the consumers expense to fuel the organization. Therefore, we are all paying the salaries and pageant expenses in a debt free organization. (NT) -- No name, 10:33:09 09/04/24 Wed (NoHost/203.23.178.77) Was this written by AI? It doesn't make sense. (NT) -- "No professional leader... would ever..." is the No True Scotsman logical fallacy, 15:32:03 09/08/24 Sun (static-198-54-130-93.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.130.93) But things have changed drastically as a for profit. Robin didn't pay out any scholarships, so they are no longer a cost to her. She receives money from: ticket sales from all the weeks activities, prelims and finals tickets, pageant streaming sales, program book ad sales, a cut of state entry fees, all the national entry fees, a cut of the AHA fundraising kickbacks from Henri's, kickbacks from Rebel, all the extraneous expenses she asks of the states throughout the year, and MA merch profits. Her costs are staff, setting/ printing the program book, and event site rental and staging. The states and girls/parents are funding the program entirely and in return they get to compete for Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 15:58:25 09/08/24 Sun (static-198-54-130-93.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.130.93) Forgot that Robin receives the Miss America Foundation donations as well. (NT) -- No name, 16:12:32 09/08/24 Sun (static-198-54-130-93.cust.tzulo.com/198.54.130.93) Don't forget the State Licensing Fees!! She's busy collecting those as we speak! (NT) -- No name, 18:29:00 09/09/24 Mon (NoHost/139.71.144.6) Has a forensic audit ever been done on her finances? (NT) -- No name, 03:53:46 09/04/24 Wed (syn-035-150-243-200.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.200) We don't even need to stress over what she says. She doesn't own it. Maybe she managed to dig up millions from another one of her victims but it won't matter (NT) No name (NoHost/108.165.106.71) 10:58:27 09/04/24 Wed Well I'm sure the ugly swimsuits and crap they unveiled last week will bring in LOTS of money!! I mean seriously, that merch is cringy. (NT) No name (NoHost/139.71.144.5) 11:26:02 09/04/24 Wed I love it all minus the swimsuits (NT) -- No name, 11:45:03 09/04/24 Wed (NoHost/128.163.239.166) OMG i just went and looked at it. It's awful. It doesnt even look like the brand much less something someone would be proud to own. Love the vintage but everything else looks cheap and unrelated. I would really love to hear from contestants on this board more cause they need to really understand what they are signing themselves up for. (NT) -- No name, 13:10:23 09/04/24 Wed (ec2-15-160-176-47.eu-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com/15.160.176.47) Designs looks like a fourth of July at old navy to me. Where's the MAO logo and pageant design??? (NT) -- No name, 14:30:43 09/04/24 Wed (NoHost/172.56.203.177) I think there has been a purposeful move away - and I don't think it's a good thing. Seriously, "Miss America Social Club"? "American Queen" with some ugly sketch? And the swimsuits are just so bad - like the factory making all the other stuff had them leftover and offered them for 50 cents a piece. And I don't even know what to say about the Mu Alpha Sigma stuff - remember the call where Robin didn't even know what they meant?? Maybe she should focus less on creating ugly swimsuits and more on gathering the requested documents for court. (NT) -- No name, 14:23:36 09/06/24 Fri (NoHost/139.71.144.5) Bring back the Ada Duckett "supersuits"-anyone remember those? (NT) -- No name, 02:34:50 09/07/24 Sat (syn-035-150-243-200.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.200) You people do realize that Robin does not have to report to a Board of Directors, she runs the show herself, she reports to no one (NT) No name (108-239-242-250.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net/108.239.242.250) 11:22:59 09/09/24 Mon What we know realize is the above list of all the monies Robin takes from every section of this organization. WHOEVER COMPLIED THAT is brilliant (NT) -- No name, 17:46:34 09/09/24 Mon (NoHost/50.118.196.194)
