Subject: Miss Mi USa pageant Author: Miss contestant [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:54:23 09/30/03 Tue I just wanted to say I had a great time this past weekend. I learned alot! Contestants that stood out to me as role models and wonderful women of Michigan....... Tonya Tibbs- you are a sweetheart! and congraduations on Miss Photo. and T 15! It was nice to see someone win Miss Photo. and not have to spend mucho dollars on Sam Tang! (great photographer though!). Crystal Hayes is also such a sweetheart and so hilarious! - I wish her the best of luck in her upcomming pageant "Miss" years! Congraduations to her and Nichol for making Top 5 in Miss. What an accomplishment! Lashana Gardner is a GREAT person with so much energy- congrats on T 15 girl! Teresa Swamba- i wish eveyone could have a chance to meet and talk with this girl! an EXCELLENT role model for all Michigan women! and such a giving woman! Congrats on T15 ! Courtney Dolecki- such a cutie with a kind heart! Elisa Schleef is a wonderful and approachable woman. I had serveral opportunities to talk with her and I am so proud that she was able to represent our state. 3rd runner up at Miss USA is such an accompishment - CONGRADUATLTIONS! I loved cheering for you from my living room! The only let down I faced was that notion that in order to do well in this pageant - there was TONS of money to be spent. I felt like you almost HAD to get coached by Shannon Grace Clarck ( I hear she is great though!), had to have Sam's pics, and had to have that thousand $$$ gown. Which is a big letdown to me because I am NOT a "rich kid" but I LOVE pageantry! If what I hear is true about Nichol- that she has never been trained- GOOD for her! That gave me some hope!I don't want to negative - I just wanted to state some concerns I had. I met some extraordinary women this past weekend, that the pageant can be proud to be affilated with! Good Luck to Stacy Lee at Miss USA! GO GIRL! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date great post, i was glad to see that both photo winners were very pretty and natural girls, the top five for miss were all very nice and thought they all would do well, it is a competition and i think you have to really work hard for it to represent our state, i know nicole and crystal did it just right, and who knows what would have happened if the top 5 questions were answered differently. i'm glad i didn't have to answer them, i would not have been able to. i had a fabulous time, it was better than i imagined it to be, the only disappointment for me was seeing some of the girls that seemed to be nice and sincere turn on a dime back stage, that part of pageants i guess is true. (NT) we'll be back 09:38:54 10/01/03 Wed
