Truly, I am hopeful that it ultimately represents the aspects of Miss America many long for, in addition to the modern-day (not necessarily the most beautiful OR talented), but all around solid individual that can articulate (literally and figuratively), today’s ‘ideal’!! -- Miss Volunteer America Pageant

[> [> Subject: Thoughts con’t from above. I think there is a void now for those that still wish for pageantry to be truly relevant. MAO has moved too far away from its roots (though respect the growth that they have made in the areas of validating intelligence and one’s ability to be communicative), while USA (to me) is still ‘just a beauty pageant’. I hope Volunteer can be a true happy medium….

[> [> [> [> Subject: Not trying to make it ‘more’. WAS trying to articulate my hopes that it fulfills what is missed from MAO (happy blend of 1.0/2.0), as a viable option for ladies that don’t want USA and are disappointed with MAO.
