Subject Author Date Lisa Harrigan (Miss Calgary 2006, Miss Earth Canada 3rd RU 2008, Miss World Canada 2007 Top 10), Kaley Johnson (Miss Calgary 2009) and Paula Smith are the only ones I have seen that are competing. (NT) Canadian Fan 11:39:19 02/28/09 Sat Oops, I meant Paula Bailey, not Smith. Sorry about that. (NT) Canadian Fan 11:44:46 02/28/09 Sat Competing in WHAT??? (NT) pat 16:43:15 02/28/09 Sat MUC..i've seen pictures of lisa and kaley. They are beautiful (NT) -- Tiara fan, 00:30:09 03/01/09 Sun kaley is pretty....i don't see it in lisa. i mean there must be something because they keep accepting her into pageants but i've never seen a photo where i saw MUC, MWC or MEC in her. sorry if that came across as mean, but it's just my observation, you don't have to agree (NT) jay 14:24:11 03/02/09 Mon I agree with you. She is maybe a real sweetheart and very nice person, but she doesn't fit in pageant in my opinion. Since you actually have to pay to enter pageants, such as MUC or MWC, I guess, they keep on accepting her. Its a way for them to make money and if she is willing to pay, well, let her pay the fees and compete. (NT) -- JF, 19:12:17 03/02/09 Mon MUC does not need anyones money lots of girls have been turned down. If winning is the only reason to do a pageant then 59 other girls should save thier money. NT 11:06:17 03/03/09 Tue I think this is one of the classic "pageant bug" examples. And we all know who has caught the bug when we see them go for every national competition, or keep trying to go, even though it takes up so much time and money. If you can afford the time and the money to do it, and they'll take you, then why not? It just doesn't look good to outsiders who see the same 5-10 girls always in every single pageant until they get married or too old! (NT) #2 12:23:16 03/03/09 Tue Than how did stephanie koo get so far? Noway is she that pretty. Lisa did well at miss earth. (NT) -- Patricia, 19:57:54 03/03/09 Tue I say if you can afford it, go for it. [more inside] -- Christi, 17:21:30 03/04/09 Wed competing multiple times AJ 21:11:25 03/03/09 Tue actually... back when I competed the director and other 'industry insiders' kept saying the same thing. to NOT compete multiple times. frankly, i wish I had NOT listened. I had def. caught the bug but was discouraged in competing more then once. in the Miss USA pageant girls compete BEYOND multiple times!!! I could go on and on about how many girls kept at it until they won State Titles.... I also know a few girls who BECAUSE of their drive and constant spot at the competitions ended up with some valuable networking and went on to experience other jobs, events, contacts - even future spouses. I think regardless of how many times you compete - go for it! I think it shows ambition and drive. -- Author: AJ -- (NT) -- Excellent post!, 21:49:07 03/03/09 Tue The only aspect of competing many times that is bad is People know you and start to talk and it is embarrassing. Also it sucks when the judges already know your answer because they have judged you before or when judges say they went with another girl to have a fresh face. The reality is you usually have to compete more then once to win. What really sucks if when you re compete, know you are at your best ever and you do worse ( not make top 10) LOL that happened to me so embarrassing it was pathetic, I also think it is none of anyone business how many times a girl enters click in Michelle 22:00:55 03/03/09 Tue Another excellent post. Thank you! (NT) -- AmeriCan Fan, 23:13:10 03/03/09 Tue yes and in every pageant you always learn something new. you think about ways you can improve, by watching old videos of yourself, and you say wow i cant i said that or wore that. there is always room for improvement. but i don't think MUC is that type of pageant. you either got it, or you don't. (NT) -- patricia, 19:07:46 03/04/09 Wed but good for Lisa for having a passion and for beleiving in herself enough to keep trying......I'm sure she's got something special. (NT) jay 09:23:17 03/04/09 Wed well i don't know about her personal life. she says she does pageants only to make contacts and advance her areer....so if thats true...keep doing it. when we don't know the reason behind a persons decision it may seem like more than just a passion, but she obviously gets something out of it. so again good for her. (NT) jay 17:05:59 03/07/09 Sat Repeat contestants Claire 23:31:05 03/08/09 Sun Lisa is an accomplished well educated woman. She is a teacher and a good one. People making these negative comments are only trying to hurt Lisa. Her family and boyfriend love and adore her and respect her choices. She can spend her money on anything she wants it's her money. No one should believe the lies being said about Lisa. Enough is enough leave her alone. (NT) the real facts 18:20:48 03/10/09 Tue I find this all odd that there is always a discussion about this girl. Obviously someone has a beef with her. This is a personal attack on lisa. Maybe this girl entered miss calgary or something the year Lisa won? Lisa seems to get more people talking then the winners!! Why? Honestly does any really care if she enters? does it affect anyone? also this person seems to know a lot about her life? How? I am really board of the Lisa topic. If she wins then talk - cuz it is apparent that no one here thinks she will, click in Michelle W 00:49:36 03/11/09 Wed i think because its easier to gossip and trash and make the message board more interesting. nobody cares about being nice. its the girl on girl world. thats what women do. they trash talk. (NT) -- patricia, 15:22:43 03/11/09 Wed who is competing from Alberta Peet 00:26:36 03/12/09 Thu Lisa seems to be a target but I guess it's because she's known within the pageant community. Commentators don't really know much about anyone else and so gossip is very likely. (NT) Claire 02:59:58 03/13/09 Fri
