NorthEast Forum for Miss USA

Welcome to the NorthEast Forum for Miss USA. This board was created for all those fans of ladies from the Northeast who competes or had competed in the Miss USA pageant.

Feel free to talk about pageants in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia.

(But overly negative, bashing and unacceptable language posts and/or replies will not be tolerated.)

Note: Please limit messages that only pertain to pageants in the northeast, or contestants from the northeast competing at Miss USA in Miss USA time or contestants from the northeast competing at Miss Teen USA in Miss Teen USA time, (the only exception to this rule is those promoting their own MB's), all else not related to Northeast pageant discussion or information will be deleted.
There are two national Miss USA boards and various state boards and international boards to discuss other pageants. Thank you

Enjoy your time here at the Northeast Forum.

24 Drinking Arrests at Home of Miss Connecticut Outstanding Teen, MADD Volunteer
Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Print ShareThisWOLCOTT, Conn. � The reigning Miss Connecticut Outstanding Teen, a volunteer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, held a party that resulted in two dozen people being charged with underage drinking, police said Wednesday.

Rachael Ramonas, 17, once organized a benefit for the families of friends killed in a car crash in which the teen behind the wheel had a history of drunken driving, according to the Web site of Miss America's Outstanding Teen.

It's not clear whether Ramonas, who competed in the Miss America Outstanding Teen pageant in August in Florida, was among those charged. Police are not releasing the teens' names because they are juveniles, and no teens are charged with drunken driving.

Ramonas, a high school senior, is an honor and AP student, according to the Web site of Miss America's Outstanding Teen.

She has been dancing for 15 years, training in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical and pointe, the site said. She is also a choreographer at a local dance center.

Officers responding to an anonymous call about underage drinking Saturday night found beer, rum and items commonly used for a drinking game called beer pong.

Ramonas' parents were out of the state when police arrived, said Domenic Angiolillo, police captain in Wolcott, about 30 miles southwest of Hartford.

The Miss Outstanding Teen contest promotes academic and creative achievements. Ramonas received a $2,000 scholarship.

As part of her yearlong reign, Ramonas agreed to work with the Connecticut chapter of MADD, which calls drinking the nation's biggest youth drug problem.

"At this point we'll have to re-evaluate that (relationship) and see if she holds herself accountable with hosting that party," said Janice Heggie Margolis, executive director of MADD's Connecticut chapter.

"I'm hoping she feels very bad and embarrassed," Margolis said.

Denise Ramonas told reporters Wednesday that her daughter's behavior was out of character.

"It was just a judgment call, a poor judgment call, and this is what happened," she said.

Ramonas' parents also released a statement saying she didn't drink any alcohol and none of the other people at the house that night was found to be under the influence of alcohol. They didn't say whether their daughter was charged.

Pageant officials are deciding whether to take action. Ramonas' term ends in June.

Ramonas had apparently planned a low-key gathering, but friends invited friends and it got out of hand, Angiolillo said.

Police issued 24 tickets for possession of alcohol by a minor. The infraction carries a $136 fine and an automatic driver's license suspension of at least 30 days.

"It's not the end of the world. It's not the crime of the century," Angiolillo said. "It's just a shame, that's all. You have to take responsibility for your actions."

Replies:

Sorry but the proper actions of a Teen Role Model who also organized an event for MADD should have told the other teens to leave on the spot of arriving with alcohol. You are a role model, especially during your reign AND the CT board along with MAOT should strip her of that title to a teen who is more OUTSTANDING of the title (NT) -- That's my opinion, Thursday, February 26, 10:19:00pm

Come on girls, she has brains. She is an RN specializing in premature babies. Her answers generally were good,but not perfect. Now my real question at this point is ... why in the world would someone feel "obligated" to be mean in their response? Its not a have to, its a choice.A choice no one should choose. You girls can do better than that. Also I am pleased with the winner this year, Kate may just do the trick for Delaware. Lets hope!

DE -- Laura, Monday, December 01, 12:08:02am

I disagree, I think the statement shows her fun personality! She's not "pageant patty" and rehearsed (neither is Julie) and I'm sure that both Julie and Kate's personality helped get them to the top. Once you get to the top 5 it's a craps shoot anyway. Each girl has a special quality about her that got her there in the first place and the judges just rank who they think will do the best job not only representing the state at Miss USA but also being a role model in the community. (NT) -- Julie should give it one last shot :), Monday, December 01, 12:43:53am
Eww...she said that onstage? Beautiful girl but come on, TMI. There's lots of other ways to show your "fun personality" rather than saying you'd pee in your evening gown. (NT) -- I wasn't there but that's inappropriate., Monday, December 01, 01:16:54am

kate was funny....the whole audience and all the judges were cracking up! (NT) -- she has the looks to do well at miss usa...that is the main reason she was crowned last night...USA is a T&A pageant., Monday, December 01, 12:46:01pm

Maybe because yeah it was funny and unexpected but still wayyy out of line. Everyone sitting around me was in shock.. and not in a good way.... (NT) -- Laura, Monday, December 01, 09:13:36pm

Loosen up! I think it's funny! (NT) -- !, Monday, December 01, 09:37:48pm
Obviously it wasn't out of line...she won. (NT) -- :-), Monday, December 01, 10:02:29pm
I swear, people will find anything to bitch about when the person that they want to win doesn't walk away with the crown. (NT) -- So happy for Kate!!! She deserves it!!!, Tuesday, December 02, 05:43:05am

Kate's win shows that DE has overlooked girls who are USA ready and worthy for years. She has been consistently good but never made top 5. The new directors want a winner. The old director tried to make someone into a winner. (NT) -- obvious, Tuesday, December 02, 08:01:32am

Nicole Bosso was Miss USA ready the day she walked off the stage after her win. (NT) -- Won't you agree?, Tuesday, December 02, 09:08:33am

I don't think so at all....she had never competed in any other pageants and had no experience with pageantry......it was obvious she wasn't ready. If she was, she would have placed at nationals. (NT) -- And then of course the height issue was against her as well., Tuesday, December 02, 09:22:50am

Vincenza was ready to go to nationals and made the best showing that Delaware ever had, the fact that she did not make the top 15 was a disgrace, She deserved to be up there, many people in vegas where shocked that she did not.,(but we all know that it is not all based on scores) though I do agree that she was one of the more perpared than the last few chosen. and she did so many appearences and did so much for the state (NT) -- Vincenza was an amazing representative, Tuesday, December 02, 11:03:04am

not in terms of facial beauty. (NT) -- she is just okay., Tuesday, December 02, 12:49:19pm

I agree, facially she wasn't the best. Kate is gorgeous, tall, an absolute sweetheart, AND is mentally and physically prepared for Miss USA. (NT) -- There's no doubt in my mind that she'll do well for Delaware!!, Tuesday, December 02, 12:59:39pm
Oh please Vincenza is gorgeous..why would you bash someone they are all beautiful (NT) -- i am sure she will do ok, Tuesday, December 02, 01:20:14pm

After reading everything above, all I can say is that Nicole was very pretty but no one prepared her for nationals and she is only 5'2 so that was against her. Vincenza was a great Delaware representative but facially not as pretty as the others at nationals. For 2009, Julie and Kate are both gorgeous and have different things working for them in different ways. Kate is a sweetheart and both of them deserved it. (NT) -- How great would it be if Kate crowned Julie next year!!?, Wednesday, December 03, 12:17:09am

well I guess I just do not see it but I think Vincenza is prettier than Kate, and when I was in vegas thought she was just as pretty as the rest, they look diffrent in person than on Tv and in photos (NT) -- i guess we all see diffrent things, Wednesday, December 03, 12:24:10am

Vincenza looks better in photographs than she does in person. Yes, she is pretty, but some of her facial features are just a little too harsh up close. (NT) -- She did a lot as a rep for Delaware though...her community service involvement is amazing!!, Wednesday, December 03, 08:09:02am

Part of what you say is absurd. ALL the girls who go to Nationals are "prepared". You either have it or you don't. Nicole while facially gorgeous just could not compete at the height level and yes people, whether you want to admit it or not it does matter how you appear and carry yourself on stage. I'm well aware of Tara and her height, but she had a good 3" on Nicole to start and her stage presence was undeniable. Instead of constantly bashing the directors and comparing previous titleholders to current titleholders, get a grip...it doesn't make a hill of beans difference. Be happy for Kate, praise Julie and the other delegates and lets just be positive about 2009. (NT) -- You DON'T know what you're talking about., Wednesday, December 03, 09:34:46am

I really hope Kate can break the top 15 curse!!!!! She has the height which is what Delaware lacked for many years. She's also got the beauty and stage presence! (NT) -- Go Kate!, Monday, December 08, 11:05:39pm

Weymouth woman crowned Miss Massachusetts USA

By Ed Baker
Mon Dec 01, 2008, 04:20 PM EST

Weymouth -

Alison Cronin had no desire to compete in a beauty pageant while she was growing up in Weymouth.

�I did not wear dresses until I was in fifth grade,� said Alison, 21, who became Miss Massachusetts USA during a recent pageant in Boston. �If you asked me back then about wanting to be in a beauty pageant, I was would have said, gross! I did not own a Barbie doll, and I liked rolling around in the dirt and climbing trees.�

Alison�s desire to compete in a beauty contest developed while she was in middle school.

�When I was in middle school, I would plan to watch TV the night the Miss USA pageant was on,� she said. �I would try to guess who would be the top 10 finalists. I never thought I�d be competing in it.�

Alison�s interest in the pageant encouraged her to compete and win the Miss Teen Massachusetts USA crown in 2005, the year she graduated from Weymouth High School.

�I had a lot of fun while competing in that program,� she said.

Since then Alison has been busy completing her studies as a communications major at New York University

�I�m finishing my courses a semester early,� she said. �That is exciting.�

Alison plans to spend the next several months preparing for the upcoming Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas on April 19, 2009.

�The contest will be held two days before my 22 birthday,� she said. �I have a lot of things to do in preparation.�

Some of the tasks Alison must complete include selecting a wardrobe and keeping herself physically fit.

�I�ll have to select an evening gown and follow a workout regimen,� she said. �I have to work with an interview coach as well. There are a lot of things you have to do prepare for the contest.�

Alison had to complete a preliminary competition and swimsuit competition to qualify as a finalist for Miss Massachusetts USA.

�There was a preliminary competition that involved wearing an evening gown,� she said. �The next day there was a swimsuit competition.�

The judges at both venues collectively reduced the amount of contestants to five finalists that included Alison, all of whom completed onstage interviews.

�It was a good showcase to tell people who you are, and what you stand for,� Alison said. �I met a lot of really great girls from around the state that have all accomplished so much and are quite educated. The event is a beauty pageant, but it is not all about beauty. The pageant showcases confident women who are competing for the same crown.�

Alison said she sought the Miss Massachusetts USA title to help support charities throughout the state.

�I�m excited,� she said. �Getting the title is a good opportunity to serve Massachusetts by working with a lot of charities.�

Helping people in need seems to be natural for Alison

She realized the importance of putting the needs of others first from her mother Michele, a widow, and nursing home administrator at Vernon Hall in Cambridge.

�She used to have us come to the nursing home to visit the residents who did not get a lot of visitors,� Alison said. �Her example of helping people in need has been reinforced to us.�

Michele�s example is especially compelling for Alison because her father died when she was 13.

�My mother raised my brother Don and I on her own,� she said. �Don is an emergency room nurse at a hospital in New York City and he has done quite well for himself. I consider Don one of my role models.�

Alison said people in need have hopes and goals that are common to all humanity and this reality was especially evident when she visited Ghana, a West Africa nation, with some of her New York University classmates last year.

�We were involved in community service and research while over there,� Alison said. �I got to talk with a lot of people. The project I did was to learn how the people in Ghana define themselves in the context of the world, and the African continent. It was a very big eye-opening trip.�

She visited a Ghanaian orphanage and realized the youngsters share the same dreams of succeeding like young people in the U.S. have.

�The kids in the orphanage have huge dreams and goals,� Alison said. �I realized that I had the tools to reach them. They really inspired me.�

Alison said she hopes to inspire people to succeed and help those in need by winning the Miss USA crown in April.

�I�m glad I can be a positive role model for girls in Weymouth, and the South Shore, and in Massachusetts,� she said.

MISS PA TOP 5 (I DEMAND A RECOUNT!)
[Edit]
Date Posted: Monday, December 01, 02:50:58am

TOP 5 MISS PA:
4 of the Top 5 from PA were great choices, but the judges made a big mistake by choosing Amanda Jupena (4th runner-up). She couldn't even articulate an answer during her interview and looked like a deer in headlights standing next to the other ladies who were composed and confident. This went far beyond nerves, but rather a lack of poise, maturity and experience. I think Airin McClain and Melissa Hindman (Top 15) would have been better contenders for Top 5. They both looked gorgeous in their gowns, had tone-athletic bodies with great credentials. My daughter made the Top 5 and highly praised these ladies as her toughest competition. I demand a RECOUNT!

Replies:

Congrats to your daughter!!! That is awesome. Did you watch the teen pageant? I know someone who wants to enter next year but I'm worried. We have heard that the Teen winner couldn't walk or talk. Is this true? The girl who wants to enter has done a few local pageants before and is a pretty good speaker and has a nice walk. Should they just save the money because PA doesn't want a polished girl? (NT) -- Congrats to your daughter, looking for an honest answer about Teen, Monday, December 01, 09:21:08am
Is it true that the Miss winner lives & works in Maryland??? Also, why were so many of the judges from PA this year? I thought that this director prided himself on using unbiased & out of state Judges. What the heck happened? (NT) -- Still in shock, Monday, December 01, 12:54:56pm

Cynthia Greschler-Gorgeous face, petite--Something special about this girl, I could see her winning the title with more practice. If she took off her wrap she would have made top 5.

Danielle Muehlenbein-Great stage presence, nice evening gown. Good modeling.

Tatiana Schoeppler-SS great, in fantastic shape. face looks harsh.

Kate Barnes-Nice presence- should grow her hair out. Loved her dress.

Michaela Gagne-Patterned dress-not a fan

1st runner-up-Monique Jones-Gorgeous dress, face is pretty, she sounded sick her voice was raspy. Seemed a bit to old.

2nd runner up-Tara Fitzgerald-Beautiful white dress, to tan, seemed artificial.

3rd runner up-Lacy Wilson-good stage presence, poor interview-hands were flying around to much

4th runner up-Sola O.-Green dress not my favorite, good presence.

Winner Alison Cronin-Nice SS, confident, great answer. A good pick.

I've put up the Maryland montages today... click the link or the pics to see each divisions top five in swimsuit & gown... I've also noted on each page some trivia points about the historical context of each top five :D

MISS >> http://www.pageantupdate.net/missusa2009/topfives/maryland.htm

TEEN >> http://www.pageantupdate.net/missteenusa2009/topfives/maryland.htm

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - it is a complete mystery to me how Courtney Hejl was not included in this top five. And I'm flummoxed by the final result... although in all honesty I can't see any of the Miss top five being truly competetive at Miss USA... the only person (in my mind only, of course) who fit that bill was left in the top 15... Courtney.

Here's the comparison pic of her I did for the Former Teens page

That, of course, is merely my opinion ;) What do you think? I'd be particularly interested to hear what people who were actually at the pageant thought...

I attended the pageant and although the final 5 were all pretty in there own way, it really was unbelievable that Courtney was not one of them. It is unexplainable. She clearly stood out every step of the way. This was the first time I have ever thought " well maybe pageants are fixed in some way." Maybe they want to save Courtney for another year! Who knows. I don't want to take away from the women in top 5 though because what is done is done. Courtney took it gracefully so should we. (NT) -- Honest thoughts., Monday, November 24, 04:28:58pm
X- I was also there...I was disgusted that Courtney did not make top 5. I wondered honestly though if it was that she was too pageanty...her gown was hot pink and her hair was a bright blond...and she seemed too rehearsed. Regardless, I think she should have been top 5 and probably won. However Gabrielle is gonna be great by USA time- very pretty and poised and well spoken (a girl with MAO experience). And she seemed genuinely shocked and honored to have won...so I give her creidt and wish her well. (NT) -- me3, Monday, November 24, 08:49:16pm
COMPLETE SHOCK that Courtney did not place top 5 or even win for that matter!! (NT) -- ?!, Tuesday, November 25, 11:52:16pm
I don't think it was a shock that Courtney didn't make it. Her stage presentation was WAY over the top...too rehearsed as a previous poster said. I think it completely turned off the judges (NT) -- was there too...., Wednesday, November 26, 05:48:11pm

That doesn't mean you over look her because the truth is, she is the only one on that stage who has what it takes to place at Miss USA and the judges obviously did not have that in mind. (NT) -- It's ashame, Thursday, November 27, 10:13:53am

Judges were all great in their own professions, but most were not experienced judges for pageantry. I don't think they understood what it takes to be successful at the Miss USA level. Gabby will be a GREAT Miss MD USA, but Courtney would have done stellar at Miss USA as well. (NT) -- My two cents, Thursday, November 27, 12:39:10pm

Kimberly Whittaker is stunning! (NT) -- she is my favorite to win, Monday, November 24, 05:40:41pm

I changer my mind about her after hearing about the playboy thing. (NT) -- ..., Wednesday, November 26, 06:15:38pm

Found a new favorite...Lauren Hribar, the redhead!! (NT) -- She just might surprise us all and take it!, Tuesday, November 25, 08:31:54pm

Me too!!! I looooove her! She's so pretty with minimal makeup and natural hair, can you imagine how she'll look when she's all done up? (NT) -- I soooooo hope she wins!!!, Tuesday, November 25, 11:21:01pm

Can a girl win Miss State USA with short, chin length hair? Examples: Miss America, Kirstin Haglund's new style (when it's straight), the oh-so over-done Posh Spice bob, Katie Holmes etc...THAT SHORT.

Replies:

(NT) -- Need I say more? She is GORGEOUS!!! (No matter what length her hair is!), Tuesday, November 25, 06:32:03pm

Stephanie Smith, Miss SCUSA 2009 - could be MUSA 2009 . . . (NT) -- NE Queen, Tuesday, November 25, 06:33:05pm

Look at her candids...they're "ok". I think the short hair is a detriment at nationals. Only two short haired winners in nearly 30 years (Terri Utley in '82 and Shauntay Hinton in '02). Not good. (NT) -- Deshard in the O.C., Tuesday, November 25, 06:45:17pm

I know this is off topic, but I know many of you in the pageant world have a soft spot for animals. Here's a quick way to help feed shelter animals for FREE!
