Overall I am completely shocked at how well the pageant turned out this year. I had no idea that the current titleholder had recruited so many beautiful girls until I saw it with my own eyes. My favorites throughout the pageant were Megan Dedious(4th Runner up), Julie Citro (1st Runner up) and Yolanda Mccullum (Top 15). I will say I am disappointed with the outcome though.I think that Vincenza is great for the America system but will not represent Delaware well in the Miss USA pageant. Facially, the other 4 girls with her were much more naturally beautiful. Also her body (stomach) still needs work. I hate to nit pick but with a pageant with that many beautiful girls who are far more ready for nationals than Vincenza, I think the outcome should have been different. Vincenza is very nice and very smart, but with her and Julie standing next to each other, it was quite obvious who was more beautiful and naturally pretty. Vincenza's lost sincerity in her answers because she has done too many pageants. Her face is rough and she needs to wear less make-up. Better luck next year Delaware!

Several states have had several delegates try as many as 7 times, but your girl along with a Miss Texas are the most accpmplished because they have four runner up tries. Looking at some DE tapes, Ms. Immediato should have won twice and placed twice. I hope she doesn't make drastic changes, which many top competitors do when getting close so often. I wish her well! Fortitude is a great character example to young women.

The pageant was incredible, here are my favorite highlights:

* Meeting Amy Diaz - I had to tell Amy about how she is a trooper for going to every state pageant known to mankind since her victory. I told her that we fans on the board will expect her in Vermont, Hawaii, etc...
Amy does not visit the boards so I told her she has some HUGE fans like Bamaman that worship her every photo! She seemed surprised that her pics were even on boards! LOL!

* Probing Amanda Birdsell - I had to ask the beautiful Amanda what her pageant plans were but I got nothing concrete. Well, she is stunning and is a personal fave of mine. I am selfish and want her to DROP Miss America and come back to USA ASAP!

* Rubbing Punky's belly - It was awesome to see our very own Punky at the Mass Pageant! She looks fab as always! I even got to feel the baby give me a kick!

* Catching up with Despina - I love my Despina, we worked VERY hard last year together and have a ton of memories. All the late nights, the catwalk lessons in my living room, preparing for Miss Mass with only a few weeks to get everything together, staying up the whole night to make her USA Video etc.... She is a great person and has a bright future ahead. Her eyes just hypnotize you they are so gorgeous!!

* Chatting with Laurie Clemente - This woman is a FIRST class director! She just puts her heart and soul into this pageant and has such an awesome staff of people who are all incredible! She has welcomed me and treated me so well and makes the event just so much more special. I told her from ALL OF US how we LOVED that she put the pictures up this year and she appreciated the feedback!

* To Allison Baldwell, Stacey Blaine, Jacqueline Doucette, January Newcombe, the ENTIRE Castillo family (Which by the way Susies sister is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S), Rafael Delfin, Patricia Gentry (A GREAT and caring coach), Scott from Cinderellas (Who is a great person), the LOVELY Christina Nardozzi, my dear Ina, the beautiful current Mrs. Massachusetts America and everyone else, it was SO much fun to see all of you and you are all WONDERFUL people!

* Celebrating with Jackie - To all pageant fans, if you love a pageant girl who truly embraces all aspects of pageantry, then you would love Jackie Bruno. Her dream came true last night and it was such a pleasure to witness! Everyone was so happy for her! Jackie said to me, HEY Bostonian! LOL!! Then we both said, WHO IS MEEMAW!!!!! LOL! Jackie really loves the fans, she loves competing, she loves everything about it. She even thanked me for sending her some Pageant DVD's from 5 years ago, this girl is just a class act! Her speech at the party was really touching, she was just elated and her biggest dream came true! Jackie looked stunning, her hair was straight and longer, her body was top notch and her makeup was beautiful. She is a tall drink of water as well, WOW!

On a final note, the Teen Winner is STUNNING. I picked both the top 2 of the Miss and Teen so of course thought the outcome was completely dead on. The teen took my breath away and I loved her final answer. She was like a princess and will do VERY well at Teen. The last thing I will say is that I was asked by 2 people who NE GAL WAS!?!?!?! I told them I don't know! It would have been great to meet you thou but I thought of you and kept you in spirit there! You would have had a blast!

Long live the Mass Pageant!

Disclaimer: I am just one person. My daughter has competed for years and I thought it would be fun to go. Take my opinion with a grain of salt. My Husband was with me.

Top 15

Lauren Parks--Orange swimsuit. Sucked it in big time. Everything she did was strange and over the top. Gown had a shear top and a white bottom. It was strange and her presentation was way over the top. Last place in the top 15 for me. Almost Comical.

Ashley Constantino--Newcomer. Blond beauty. Black swimsuit with a great body and great presentation. Royal blue gown with a natural presentation. Overall--EXCELLENT.

Julie Citro--Blue bikini; nice body; great presentation. The gown of the pageant. Black and gold and fit like a glove. Good presentation overall.

Andrea Varraux--looked okay in swimsuit and okay in gown. Overall--okay.

Megan Dedousis--Newcomer and the overall face of the pageant. Hands down had one of the best swimsuit presentations and one of the best bodies. She was natural and confident and wore a green beautiful gown.

Courtney Simmons--Almost tripped in swimsuit. Wore a beautiful gown but tripped again. Hair was messy.

Azure Gerald--She just seemed bored.

Chelsea Neer--Looked exactly like Ashley Greenwell. Good body. Cute black bikini. Walked EXTREMELY slow in evening gown. She wore a beautiful white gown but her hands were glued to her sides.

Cynthia Maniscalco--Newcomer. Great Face. Body needs work in swimsuit but she gave a solid presentation. Royal blue gown and she was confident and poised.

Sarah Holland--Wore a black one piece. Good body. Too Bouncy. Wore the same gown that NJ USA wore but in black. Looked good. Overall--Good.

Adrienne Immediato--Lime Green Bikini and she looked hot in it. Her body is Venus Swimwear worthy. It is phenomenal. Great Presentation. Had brown hair this year. Red evening gown with beading around the waist and a slit. Natural presentation. EXCELLENT.

Yolanda Mcculum--Lackluster all evening.

Michelle Spadora--Looked scared and stiff but had a good body and a great gown.

Vincenza Carreri-Russo--Looked much thinner than previous years. But their was something wierd going on with her stomach. It was flat. But their was a looseness to her skin. Electric Blue Bikini. Good swimwear presentation overall. Shandiesque dress in black. Again, she looked really thin. She tripped a bit but regained her composure. Needed chicken cutlets to enhance the dress.

Christine Bretenitz--Husband loved her from the beginning. Beautiful. Great dress. Good presentation. Could stand to lose 15 pounds. Then she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Dana Jamison--Cute girl. Nice body. Cute gown. Okay presentations.

My Top 5

Vincenza Russo
Adrienen Immediato
Julie Citro
Megan Dadoudis
Ashley Constantino

My Husbands Top 5

Ashley Constantino
Julie Citro
Cynthia Maniscalco
Adrienne Immediato
Vincenza Russo

The Real Top 5 and Interview Questions

Vincenza--Question about how she can promote literacy in other ways? She said it starts at home. And rambled a lot about how much she reads everyday. And rambled, and rambled. Did not give a real solid answer.

Julie Citro--Question about how teachers can promote diversity. Solid answer that was short and sweet. Discussed introducing different foods and cultures to the classroom and welcoming foreign exchange students. Good overall. She just needs a little more presence.

Megan Dadoudis--Question about a place she visited. Rambled about China without much substance or polish. Still undeniably beautiful.

Cynthia Maniscalco--What car would you be and why? BMW m3. Natural good answer. Lots of personality.

Adrienne Immediato--Hardest Question. What would you tell a new mom about neonatal care? She discussed the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Was very composed and sounded intelligent.


My ranking

Winner--Adrienne Immediato--overall was the most consistent.
1st--Megan Dadoudis--face and body were top notch. Would have rocked Miss USA.
2nd--Vincenza Russo--Okay body, nice face, but did not come across as natural.
3rd--Julie Citro
4th--Cynthia Maniscalco

Actual Ranking

Winner--Vincenza Russo
1st--Julie Citro
2nd--Cynthia Maniscalco
3rd--Adrienne Immediato
4th--Megan Dadoudis

While I do feel Vincenza will do better than previous winners at Nationals, I felt than Adrienne or Megan would have done better. I knew Vincenza would win before anyone stepped on the stage. And it seems that the biggest threats were eliminated quickly.

Again, just one woman's take. Best of luck at Nationals and my heart breaks for the other girls.

Westminster High junior prepares for Miss Teen USA competition

By Beth Ward, Times Staff Writer
Monday, November 26, 2007



Ana Maria Lawson was recently crowned Miss Maryland Teen USA 2008. Lawson will travel to the national competition in April.

Ana Maria Lawson, a 16-year-old Westminster resident, was recently crowned Miss Maryland Teen USA 2008. With the win, she will travel to the national competition in April.

The aspiring model has done photo shoots for bridal magazines and this month’s issue of Girls’ Life Magazine.

Lawson, a Westminster High School junior, has participated in Washington, D.C.’s Fashion Week and Brooklyn Fashion Week. She has also been featured in two commercials and been asked to model in New York City’s Fashion Week in February.

Q: Why did you participate in the Miss Maryland Teen USA 2008 pageant?

A: Because it was always something that I wanted to do and my mom always talked to me about it when I was younger. She did it when she was younger. And I always used to watch TV shows and I always used to say I want to be like a queen or a winner. So I always tried. And then last year I placed and then I went and tried again and I actually won.

Q: What does it feel like to win?

A: It feels good. It feels really, really good.

Q: How many girls did you compete against?

Last year, I competed against about 133 and this year it was about 100.

Q: What are some of your responsibilities now that you have the title?


A: I have to make sure I have a good reputation. I have to represent the state of Maryland. So I can’t be fooling around. I really have to watch out what I’m doing, every second.


Q: How are you preparing for the national competition? It’s televised, right?

A: I think so. I have to have a fitness coach. And I have to make sure I have a gown and a bathing suit and I’m ready to do interviews and stuff.

Q: What was your favorite part of the pageant?

A: I think meeting all the girls that were there because I thought there were a lot of girls that were going to come back from the year before. But actually, all new girls came back, so I got to meet double time the friends.

Q: What are some of the misconceptions or stereotypes you think people have about pageants?

A: They always think girls are going to sabotage your stuff and are really catty, but nobody is like that in pageants. They are all really nice.

Q: What are some of the other things you do outside of being Miss Maryland Teen USA?

A: I do fashion shows, and I do photo shoots for magazines. I used to dance at Savage Dance Co. but I had to quit that because I can’t really make it to all my classes. I used to cheerlead before, but I had to quit that, too, because I couldn’t make it to everything.

Q: Why did you get into modeling?

A: Because I always watched TV, and I really liked all the stuff that goes on and stuff. I always wanted to be part of it.

Q: What do you aspire to be?

A: Well, if modeling doesn’t work out, then I want to be an obstetrician or a nurse.

Q: So what’s your goal with modeling?

A: I want to be one of those models that everyone knows their name. And I want to be on TV, do commercials, just to be known. Do the red carpet, everything.

Q: What goes into being a model?

A: It doesn’t just happen overnight. You have to go to school; I went to MG Models. You have to stay home sometimes and not go to parties, or not go to dances, not hang out with your friends because you have to stay home or you have to go and do something like a show or a pageant or something.

For me, I have to work at Hoffman’s Ice Cream to help pay for my dad’s gas and help pay for my clothes that I have to buy for the go-sees, or for the interviews or for the shows, and makeup.

So it’s not like I just get everything for free or everybody just gives it to me. I actually have to work for it.

Kayla Martell has asked that we let you know of a great community service project.

Kayla has asked that we post the following message on this forum:

All previous and current title holders, as well as all volunteers are invited to participate in Kayla's "CHRISTMAS WITH CROWNS" event at the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill at 1270 Ocean Outlets, Rehoboth, Delaware on DECEMBER 8TH, 2008. VOLUNTEERS NEED TO BE THERE from 7 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.

Tickets must be purchased in advance. The ticket cost is only $5 and is for a wonderful Flapjack Breakfast. Kayla hopes to have the support of as many title holders and contestants as possible as the media has been invited to this event which will give exposure to all girls that attend. Exposure, but each individual title holder/contestant. Kayla must know by December 2, 2007 who will be able to volunteer and also who will be attending as all tickets must be sold by this date and money turned in so that she can give AppleBee's their total count of both attendees and volunteers.

You may email her at missgeorgetown2008@yahoo.com or call 302-222-4652 or 302-855-9595 to order tickets.

Kayla thanks you for your support and hopes to see everyone in attendance at this event which will support the Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals.

While there were more teen contestants last year, there was greater competition this year! Overall, the top 15 was accurate. It seemed that the MA Teen judges liked puffy dresses, which the winner and the first runner up wore. I believe the contestants were not suppose to ramble beyond 30 seconds for their onstage interview. Taylor Kinzler had a great interview...thought she had a good chance of winning! She was comfortable and spoke eloquently regarding something of substance. Katie Vatalaro also stood out in the top 15...not sure why she wasn't in the top 5. I think Brianna Munoz had poise and stage presence for representation in a national competition...loved the green dress! However, the Miss was obvious...it was Grace Im and Jaqueline Bruno throughout the weekend. Bruno is definitely worthy of Miss Universe. So glad she won...well deserved!

Just got in from the excitement that is Miss Mass. Here is my humble review of the event.
First off, the head shots are very misleading when you actually see the girls, thus there are quite a few surprises.

LOVE Despina’s haircut. Rhode Island was there and is stunning in person.

Teens:

I used the mention system as my guideline for choosing girls that did well in both swimsuit and evening gown, so the girls with the most mentions are the one’s I will make note of.

My biggest comment is that NONE of the teens know how to walk and none of them has evenr seen butt glue. Heaven help us all!

Chelsea Chudolij: Good looking in an orange swimsuit and peach gown, although I thought the gown was a little too frou frou for my taste.

Melanie Connor: On my cusp with a blue swimsuit and a white gown.

Erielle Davidson: Outstanding swimsuit and okay gown. Thought gown was rater busy

Lindsey Fernandes: very nice in a royal blue swimsuit. Hair is in face though

Cynthia Greschler: Yellow gown and white swimsuit

Keimara Jordan: This girl is my choice to win. Stunning on stage presence. Wore brown both times out.

Dayton Kinney: Very good SS and good gown

Taylor Kinzler: Great swimsuit and gown.

Brianna Munoz: One of the best swimsuits and gowns

Melanie Rodriguez: good presentation in both

Kay Tetreault: Very pretty girl and loks great, may look a little old facially for a teen

Kate Vatalaro: Great presentation in both

So my pick for top 5 would be:
Jordan, Kinzler, Kinney, Munoz, Vatalaro

Now the Miss competition. Things were somewhat surprising here as well…

Christina Botelho: Good showing

Jackie Bruno: The much mentioned Miss Bruno is stunning, gorgeous, all the superlatives, but she was not my first choice in either presentation. She is still doing those quirky little faces and shoulder shrugs which drive me crazy. But she is legend!

Jessica Cookson: Lovely in blue

Alyson Goykin: Looked great, but her thighs may keep her out of top 12

Grace Im: This girl may be the winner and Bruno may be 1st runner up. There is an incredible beauty in this girl in person and her SS presentation was by far the best.

Nicole Johnson: Well done in both

Jillian Lawton: Gorgeous girl. Somewhat young appearing, but a natural stunner.

Christina Leigh: This girl rocked in SS and her gown was by far one of the most beautiful tonight. She has cut her hair short and the look definitely suits her.

Erica Mandeville: She grew on me. Did very well, but has a funny walk.

Stefanie Sitzer: well shown.

Michele Spaleta: Somewhat of a disappointment. She may have ruined her chances of top 12 with bad wardrobe choices. Her SS was hideous and she has not lost enough weight to compete with this group. She’s on the cusp.

Shannon Winn: Killer presentation in both SS and EG.

So my top 5 would be:
Im
Bruno
Leigh
Winn
Spaleta?

Some of the disappointments of the night are:
Two of the teens are anorexic looking. I don’t mean thin, I mean unhealthy.
Alexa Flutie: some one needs to shoe shop for this girl. Platform hot pink shoes under her gown!
Brittany Mederios: Hello! Huge bad implants
Yessenia Reyes: Bad showing in head shot and SS and then comes out drop dead gorgeous in gown
Rachael Wadsworth: One word…Huge

my take
[Edit]

Date Posted: Wednesday, November 14, 12:22:17am

Pageants are SUBJECTIVE

Definition of Subjective: Particular to a given person;personal; existing only in the mind.

As far as bashing...

Be concious of what you put out because you will most certainly get it back.

I can name many "runner-ups" in connecticut who belittled and lashed out at the winner to only return the following year and either repeat their placement or not place at all. It's embarrassing to say the least.

Take this experience and build on it.

A few years ago I went to Miss Teen USA and did not place. I came back SO dissappointed. I pouted and complained to my older brother, about the judging. Annoyed with my sour grapes, my brother asked me "Do you think you could have performed any better" I replied "no, I did my best" And he said "You did your best?" I said "Yes, of course I did". The he looked at me and said "There is always room for improvement" At first I thought he was being insensitive, but then I realized he was right. I took what he said and I applied it to my life in school, sports, my career, and pageants. After that I always placed in a pageant. If you looking at everyone else sometimes you fail to see your own potential
