Subject: Top picks just from headshots...

Hey everybody!

This is my first time visiting the Michigan board. I thought I'd stop by a few different state boards to check out the scene, since certain boards that I have enjoyed so much in the past have taken a turn in the wrong direction and are flooded with comments that aren't posted for any other reason than to be mean spirited or to hurt people's feelings...so I've taken my thoughts, opinions and knowledge elsewhere...I hope the things I offer along the way are helpful and maybe a bit entertaining to at least some of you.

Anyway, I took a peek at the headshots on the Miss Michigan USA website, and since I'm not "in tune" with who's who in the pageant, I figured it couldn't get much more objective than this...

OK, here we go: It's SO HARD to get a sense of what some of these girls really look like when they use Sam T'ang. He's a great photographer, and he strives for perfection, but some of these women look TOO perfect, and that's a set-up for a letdown by many.

Anyway, Stephanie Wolgamuth jumps out at me, and from what I can see, I can totally see her on the Miss USA stage, depending on other factors (such as height, body, etc.).

Courtney Dolecki has a natural, sporty feel to her, and I like that (MINUS the Barbra Streisand french tip action in the shot)...I hope she's tall and has a killer figure.

Danelle Gay looks like my sister-in-law, so she's in! (Just kidding). She looks friendly and approachable, and I bet she has an awesome personality to match.

LaShana Gardner is very pretty, and I like the feel of her photo as well. She seems like she gives a great interview. If her body and gown selection are top-notch, I could see her as a front-runner.

Christina Hudson...this one says "Shauntay Hinton...Part II." It takes a solid sense of self confidence in other parts of your persona (and body) to not have to rely on long, sexy hair to feel sexy...Get my drift?

Sara Ness...my photogenic winner. Gorgeous eyes, and no Sam T'ang needed to pull off a photogenic win, at least in my book... ;-)

Sabrina Frawley...A little on the pageanty side, and her smile seems a little ventriloquist like, but she has major potential.

Tonya Tibbs...This one belongs in the top 5 on her headshot alone. I love her look, the pose and her hair is fashion-forward without being too trendy.

Anna Whiting...is she related to Anna Hanks? She could be, at least to me. If she's just as tall, WATCH OUT!

So there you have it...my picks based on nothing more than headshots...How did I do? LOL!

I do not think it is justifiable that you are making predictions based solely on photos. The judging criteria extends much more than that. Good luck to ALL Michigan girls. I cannot wait to watch the production!! (NT)an outsider14:36:34 09/21/03 Sun
Hi Builtboy, I have seen your post on other message boards and tend to agree with you on most issues. I liked how your comment about how Sam Tang can make any girl look amazing, so when I look at a photo of his I typically guess the contestant doesn't look as good in person. You didn't pick my favorite, but hopefully we will see her on Saturday as finalist. Can't wait!!!! (NT)QueenB15:10:25 09/21/03 Sun
