Subject: “Now we know about the Opening Number dresses for MAP & MATP!!! Jovani had dropped Robyn because of the pending lawsuits and bad publicity! They do not want to be associated with such unscrupulous business tactics! Robyn has called BEGGING a reputable person/designer who is only willing to help the girls, not the pageant! There is NO FINANCIAL BACKING for MOA!!!!! Supporting ONLY to avoid further stress on the state title holders!!!! The donor’s only request is to be acknowledged in all MAO socials! “ WHO else has withdrawn their support??! Why would any reputable person or business even want to be behind such disgusting business sense? January 2nd is only days ahead for the virtual hearing. There may be a bigger ball drop in Florida than in NYC New Year’s Eve!

Subject Author Date Don't have a vested interest in this, but just curious. Is it possible that contestants could show up and there be no pageant? Just like that final scene in the movie Smile. That would be devastating. (NT) No name (67.sub-174-238-103.myvzw.com/174.238.103.67) 23:07:38 12/23/24 Mon Sorry....meant Drop Dead Gorgeous. Got my pageant films mixed up, lol.

As a diehard fan for many years, it's very hard to even get excited about it this year.

Maybe Jovani decided to pause until ownership is resolved because they do not want to be associated with Straub so better to pause and be free of him then have a contract that might bind them to him. So I see you don't know how inkind contributions work. Is Sherri Hill is providing 104 opening number dresses that is a substantial contribution to MAO. Not is cash but it eliminates the need to spend money. Given the timing not surprising Sherri Hill would want to wait for any type of contract if she is even able to do so given her USA support. (NT) No name (unn-169-150-198-76.datapacket.com/169.150.198.76) 18:46:20 12/26/24 Thu Kind of interesting that you seem to post info that maybe the donor would know and Robin only. Doubtful Robin would be here posting but if it is Sherri posting what does that say about her? Kind of disappointing to think she would be speaking out of school and casting a conversation in such negative light. I do not know her or Robin so cannot weigh in but this poster seems a bit over the top with an ax to grind. Maybe she called the donor to ask if she is now a sponsor and the info was shared in a neutral fashion only to be shit stirred here?
