[> [> Subject: TX or MS for swim. Loved the way TX used the cape — made her stand out along with her suit and figure.

[> [> [> Subject: This is what makes things so interesting because I would have docked her for all that cape business. I liked it at first but I thought she did it too much.

[> [> Subject: Hoping swim goes to MS or CA. TX looked great, but seemed forced. Also seemed out of proportion... tight tiny figure, but larger head and big hair...

[> Subject: Hate Georgia’s dress. Very flat and she doesn’t look good in black. TN did it better… sophisticated black with some sparkle.

[> [> Subject: Georgia was trying to be fashion forward and sophisticated but it fell flat. Everyone else went glam and she looked out of place.

[> [> Subject: Completely disagree. GA’s velvet gown was fashion forward and chic. I thought she stood out in a good way compared to all the completely beaded gowns. Only change I would have made was a bolder color.
Author: And the fit was flawless. [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat June 24, 2023 10:37:44 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Agree. I think the goal was to stand-out and not look like all the beaded gowns. It was sophisticated. Also agree, would have liked a more vivid color. The blue strapless gown she wore at Miss America was also stunning. Blue is a good color on her.she

[> [> Subject: GA’s dress didn’t translate well. Just flat. Prelim winners aren’t a shoo in.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Honestly, I’ve seen it happen. Those girls with Harvard degrees or STEM strong careers will go further than you think. But best of luck to them all! My thing is, we can’t really predict fully without all categories added up. There will be some dark horses in that top 15, and I’ve personally seen a dark horse win on many occasions.

[> [> [> Subject: Texas could be in there. I’m not counting her out at all. CA is also a woman in STEM, as is TN.

[> Subject: Almost all of the gowns fell flat to me. A lot looked like prom off the rack. GA's didn't but it wasn't special either.

[> [> Subject: The little I saw of Alaska's gown was that it was blue with some sheer panels...
Author: The blue looked pretty...is there somewhere we can see photos? [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sat June 24, 2023 14:51:47 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: I actually liked Georgia’s gown. It didn’t look like a pageant gown. It was sleek and different.

[> Subject: Georgia may have looked better in person than on the feed. Her state director posted pics. Looks like it may be a velvet dress and it has a high slit and a slight train. Fit her like a glove. Looked high fashion. Just depends on the judges taste.

[> Subject: I am disappointed in how MVA is showcasing their swimwear winners. It’s supposed to be based on confidence and their energy however that was not exemplified by the winners.

[> [> Subject: It is time to face the fact that the idea that in the fitness category anyone is going to solely pick on energy and confidence is ridiculous. It is human nature, of course those who are energetic, confident AND physically fit is going to win. It would be stupid to crown someone who is the first two but not the third.
