- Jan 24th is Evangeline, March 2nd in LSU, March 15th is Lafayette and April 26th is Gulf Coast. ULL has not listed their date yet. (NT) -- Who is doing what, 21:25:41 11/23/08 Sun
  - Miss UL is Thursday, March 19th. (NT) -- should be a good pageant this year, 22:27:19 11/23/08 Sun
    - Yes I agree, should be great. Guess SB will walk away with it since JR is New Orleans (NT) -- It will be nice for her, 22:30:15 11/23/08 Sun
      - I would guess that Sarah Brooks is the favorite at this point. But no walk away. I personally know of four girls that will certainly give her a run for her money. But yes, it will be much more competitive this year. (NT) -- FORMER MISS UL, 06:32:36 11/24/08 Mon
        
        Any truth to the rumor that Natalie Camel, another former Miss UL, will be returning to competitions this year? How is her figure these days? Such a beautiful face! (NT) -- FORMER MISS UL, 06:35:22 11/24/08 Mon
        
        Would love to see her back in the competition (NT) -- Where can we find her these days, 09:13:52 11/24/08 Mon
        
        I thought it was very competitive last year with MC, SB, JR, and BD!!! (NT) -- was there . . . ., 13:12:33 11/25/08 Tue
        
        It actually was not that competitive at the time. Marissa easily won this competition. This was before Sara Brooks really got started and before she knew what to expect in the pageant world. And as much as I like Jamie Roddy, she did not have her best night that night. Brittany Dubois is an awesome girl, but never really developed into a "pageant girl"... Which is a good thing because she is such a good person. I would never have wanted her to change to please the system. Having said this, I fully expect this Miss UL to be more competitive, as FORMER MISS UL has already predicted. (NT) -- RUSSIA, 13:39:25 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Russia you could not stay away could you? You are a piece of work!!!!! Try hanging out with guys you seem to be that type. The closet door is open honey....wait are you still living with mom? And you are how old? (NT) -- One of your old so called buddies, 14:01:36 11/25/08 Tue
        
        This is really funny. (NT) -- Ha Ha, 17:18:35 11/25/08 Tue
        I, and many others, was very excited to see that RUSSIA had posted. I hope he'll continue to do so, because he has more class than people like you! (NT) -- Fan of RUSSIA, 17:39:30 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Speaking of class how far did you make it in school? (NT) -- English Teacher, 21:35:05 11/26/08 Wed
        
        Actually, it would be: Speaking of class, how far did you make it in school? (NT) -- Apparently, you're not that great of an english teacher. What kind of English teacher doesn't know how to PUNCTUATE?, 13:16:38 11/28/08 Fri
        
        Yes, alot of bashers and negative remarks seem to be from uneducated people. That indeed shows you what kind of oeople they are. -- no English teacher, 19:17:15 12/01/08 Mon
        
        Well, it is apparent the current Miss ULL is not one of your girls so I guess you fill the need to bash her. This is so sad, sounds like you have a definite problem with her. You need to find another game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- observer, 18:04:44 11/25/08 Tue
        
        He didn't bash her.. Get over yourself.. He only said it wasn't too competitive. You people need to grow up and learn how to read.... (NT) -- get over yourself, 18:16:56 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Excuse me, he is clearly bashing. You are the one who needs to learn to read. He clearly picks on the ones who are not his girls. This has been noted many times before. Maybe some girls are not just interested in his attentions. So this is clearly a form of bashing. This really does look bad on his part. So tired of seeing him after certain girls. Needs to get a life and leave these girls alone. If I were a director, I certainly would never engage him to judge. (NT) -- opinion, 18:42:26 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Just because he does not praise them for everything good you can possibly find on someone does not mean that he is bashing them. I dont think i ever remember him "bashing" anyone. (NT) -- please stop taking things so out of context. makes you look desperate., 18:52:59 11/25/08 Tue
        First off, the comment above was refering to his above post of last years pageant. second, we should all be on here to constructively discuss not bash anyone, and finally, we all need to take things with a grain of salt. It seems that the only thing happening is that vultures are looking for scrap pieces of meat to complain over. Who cares if you agree or disagree with what russia says. We ALL have our favorites and we ALL are guilty of strongly standing by OUR FAVORITES over some of the other contestants. We all act like we don't have Rose colored glasses on and the truth is if you think you don't then your lying to yourself. It's really hard to be 100 percent honest when we critisize someone who we are friends or family. We may know the truth but it's still hard. How about instead of grasping for straws we look for more intellectual topics. It's good to see different people post from time to time and Russia is entitled to his opinions, Why beat the crap out of a comment. (NT) -- You don't murder the judges for their opinion..... Opinion are like butthole they are all different and some smell better than other..lol, 19:04:44 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Could you please indicate how "it wasn't very competitive last year" is bashing Marissa? If this post is bashing anyone, it would be Jamie, but still is simply a critique. I don't see the bashing here. But clearly you are ultra-sensitive, and if a post is not a GLOWING review of your fav, it's a bash (NT) -- you should try a new game, 08:41:16 11/26/08 Wed
        
        I agree. And anyone who knows Russia knows that he adores Jamie Roddy. He just offers an honest opinion. Which is hard to come by in these parts. I also know that he has never met Marissa Champagne. So I dont understand the comment about her rejecting his affections. He says he does not even know her. (NT) -- what is the connection?, 11:04:55 11/26/08 Wed
    - Great pageant last year, well run, great staging and very deserving winners. (NT) -- former UL, 09:54:10 11/24/08 Mon
      - First, he didn't attack Marissa. Please read again, he said she was the clear winner that night. And per your other comment, everyone that reads this board knows he's dated girls from the pageant world. Obviously you are jealous. And something tells me you're not jealous of him but of the girls he has dated. Please get over yourself and let's return to the issue at hand--the Miss UL pageant. (NT) -- ljm, 18:41:22 11/25/08 Tue
        
        Who will you choose to pick on next ? Someone else who does not return your attentions. Go back to your embalming fluid. (NT) -- finished with this, 18:54:06 11/25/08 Tue
        
        you are so original. I'm sure he never heard that one before (NT) -- is this a joke?, 19:21:52 11/25/08 Tue
        re:finished with this. We all certainly hope so! (NT) -- Go away, 09:55:28 11/26/08 Wed
        
        I know Russia and he is a class act. These cruel comments about him are pathetic. It makes me ashamed to be involved with some of you people in this pageant industry. (NT) -- shameful, 11:02:25 11/26/08 Wed
        
        embalming fluid??? Does he work at a funeral home? (NT) -- curious, 11:38:43 11/26/08 Wed
        
        I think he works in the coroner's office (NT) -- what i heard, 16:42:32 11/26/08 Wed
- All of this Russia-bashing is clearly an attempt by Nicky Lingo and her sidekick Adam to defame Russia for being admired by many. From what I hear, Head to Toe will be taking a hit next year because of their off-the-wall antics and practices of derailing certain indivuduals success. Dont hate me for saying this, its just what I heard. Why dont you ask some of their "former" contestants that have spilled the beans if you dont believe me. I've heard it all over the last month. Its some interesting talk. (NT) -- what goes around comes around, 11:08:36 11/26/08 Wed
  - Absolutely right, don't deliver what is promised for USA (NT) -- a fact, 11:24:50 11/26/08 Wed
    - Could you elaborate a little?? Thought they were supposed to be good people?! (NT) -- confused....and curious, 12:01:54 11/26/08 Wed
      - would appreciate clarification? (NT) -- x, 12:17:06 11/26/08 Wed
        
        what are the things "heard" about the head-to-toe clan and was "interesting talk"? (NT) -- *, 12:33:17 11/26/08 Wed
    - You don't know that Nicky or Adam had anything to do with this post b/c you are not the Board Mod, so let's not make false statements against others. Some1 does not like Russia, I would say there are a few who don't like Russia . That does not make them bad people, Will H to T be doing less next year, YES. Nicky's daughter is now able to compete in Teen & she is going to spend her time with her daughter. Nicky has said that she was strong with some of the young women she worked with, but you know what that is Nicky. Nicky's store is still the best store in south central Louisiana for young women to buy their dresses. I would say that there are three stores that carry the right stuff for the LA USA pageants, Head to Toe, Tre D and Yellow Ribbon. If you think that other store owners don't share info, you are wrong, believe me they do. Instead of turing the topic off Russia & being nasty towards someone else, why not just discuss something constructive, it make the board better (NT) -- There are little facts in lies, 14:25:10 11/26/08 Wed

- Who cares if he was bashing Marisa??? His comments are right on the money. The only reason she beat Sarah Brooks is because Sarah didnt know what she was doing yet. Otherwise the outcome would have been different. And I agree that Jamie is a great competitor. But was clearly not on her A-game that night. Why does everyone get all bent out of shape when he states the obvious. I seriously doubt he has any personal vendetta against Marisa. Like someone already said, he doesnt even know her. But again, he was right. Sarah beat Marisa at Miss Louisiana, didnt she??? So dont hate him because he has a good eye for these things. Work on yourself, and then maybe he will notice you one day. (NT) -- the edge, 19:53:48 11/26/08 Wed
  - Sorry, he zero's in on certain girls and then the fan club follows. Seems not to care for festival girls. Right on the money in his predictions , what a joke. He sure missed the winner on Miss Louisiana. Of course this is old news. Wonder who's next on his list ? Sure lots of directors are getting an earful and would not touch him with a ten foot pole ! (NT) -- not a fan club member, 21:30:10 11/26/08 Wed
    - You are obviously misinformed. He is friends with all of the prelim directors, and often promotes their pageants. And as far as festivals go, he has previously stated that judging the Sugarcane Festival Pageant earlier this year was one of the most fun pageants he has ever judged. Look, I'm friends with him and it is truly sad to see you try your best to pick him apart. He is a stand up guy that really gets along with everyone. If you knew him you would probably agree yourself. I'm sorry you pass judgment on silly little things that you dont know anything about. (NT) -- the edge, 21:38:41 11/26/08 Wed
      - Yes and the Sugarcane Queen just happens to be a former Teen LA contestant (NT) -- I think she was in Top 15, 08:35:17 11/27/08 Thu
        
        I think Russia will be helping her next year in the Miss division. (NT) -- rumor, 09:14:19 11/27/08 Thu
        
        Where does she go to school? UL? (NT) -- Wow, 19:50:09 11/27/08 Thu
        
        But he doesn't work there anymore. And as for the Sugar pageant, the judges have little to do with the winner - this is well known in the festival system - so I don't think that Russia "made sure" that a former Teen LA contestant won (NT) -- are we bashing posters since there's a lull in prelims & state is over now?, 12:47:04 11/30/08 Sun
        
        Hmmm things change - the judges have a lot to do with the winner (NT) -- ITK, 16:16:45 12/01/08 Mon
        
        Actually, most directors of parish sugar titles will tell you that whichever parish's turn it is to win that year will win...very little judging. But either way, Chelsea was the clear winner - with or without past Teen USA state experience. She's been in festivals for years (NT) -- really in the know, 20:28:24 12/01/08 Mon
    - Oh, and as for "missing the girl" that won Miss Louisiana... Didnt he have her in his top 5 list? I wouldnt say thats missing anything. In fact, I dont know of anyone who came closer to accurately predicting the outcome of the top 15, top 10, and top 5. I mean really!! He had 4 of the top 5 in his predictions. haha... But of course, as far as you are concerned, he knows nothing. Your attempts at him are really becoming amusing. And now I am done. I dont want to talk about the Russian anymore. But I'll be sure to tell him that you send your best wishes! (NT) -- the edge, 21:42:13 11/26/08 Wed
      - Wow, and now for a word from the fan club......blah, blah, blah.........This is too boring. (NT) -- bored, 21:51:42 11/26/08 Wed
        
        Love Marissa, honey pack your bags and run to Miss America - your beauty and brains will be appreciated wholeheartedly there. (NT) -- Fan, 19:47:52 11/27/08 Thu
        
        I would like to slightly adjust my final picks going into the finals. I'm sticking to my gut feeling that Corinn Grillot will be the next Miss Louisiana USA. Top 5 predictions: Winner - Corinn, 1st RU- Lewis, 2nd RU- Manalla (I give her credit on lots of hard work paying off!), 3rd RU - Minchew, 4th RU- Merrill Bankston (she looks great this year!). My top 10 predictions - Haley Ridgel, Kari Miller, Calee Guidry, Sara Brooks (a couple mess ups tonight, but would like to see her again), and Jennifer Soileau. TOP 10 predictions - Lindsay Tarpley, Morgan Murray, Lauren Whittle, Cadi Pedigo, and Hannah Moore. I'd give swimsuit award to Corinn. Photogenic award to Lauren Edwards -- RUSSIA, 22:21:37 10/31/08 Fri [74] (NT) -- Here's his predictions - pretty good results, 19:52:29 11/27/08 Thu
- UPDATE: 1) Chelsea Troxler does go to UL. 2) I hear Marissa Champagne is moving to Florida. 3) Russia is a finalist for SURVIVOR. (NT) -- just a little info, 20:02:52 11/27/08 Thu
  - And the title is Queen Sugar not the Sugarcane Queen and Good Luck Russia (NT) -- Let's get it right, 20:39:02 11/27/08 Thu
  - Did Russia apply again? I knew he made the top 40 finalists for the season of Survivor that is running right now? And his facebook says he was twice a finalist for the Real World. I could see him on reality television! (NT) -- FORMER MISS UL, 10:55:27 11/28/08 Fri
    - People who spend that much time trying to "star" on a reality show are nothing but attention ho's. (NT) -- My2cents, 17:58:21 11/30/08 Sun
      - As opposed to you who sits in front of a computer trying to belittle others for trying to win $1,000,000.???? Good try. (NT) -- the edge, 17:59:57 11/30/08 Sun
        
        Why on Earth is Russia still a subject of conversation? Why does whether or not he does reality tv take up so much of your time that you debate on it for three days? He wrote a farewell letter to this board and you still find ways to talk about him? (NT) -- people love to talk about the pointless, 18:54:17 11/30/08 Sun
        
        You must know him well. What a good description. (NT) -- agree, 19:27:48 11/30/08 Sun
        Why is he still posting then...... (NT) -- pm, 07:06:27 12/01/08 Mon
        
        Because he can (NT) -- Duh, 15:36:57 12/01/08 Mon
        Re: Why is he still posting then......Yes why is he still posting after the big farewell speech ? I guess he is lonesome for his fan club. (NT) -- -, 19:33:38 12/01/08 Mon
Will there be a Miss/Ms, Teen, & Mrs Louisiana United States pageant this year? I am still eligible for USA, but I was thinking this might be good experience. -- Thanks!, 17:57:16 11/26/08 Wed [3]

        Everyone is welcome on the Festival board, but remember it is a festival board and as the Board Mod, I like to keep it focused on Festivals. I don't mind if there is a little cross over since the girls cross over, but please be respectful of the Festival folks who use it to communicate about their events. BTW, if you have never done a festival pageant and are between the ages of 17-23 you might want to try one in your home town. Many of the girls who do well in the USA system do well in the Festival system. We have had a lot of festival cross overs who have won Miss LA in the last few years as well: Heather Hayden, AK and Melissa McConnel. Marrissa C is a former festival girl, Amanda S, Lindsey Cooper, Lindsey T, Cadi P and others are also eitehr current festival queens or past queens. I think it is great for those ibt years when you are too old to do Teen but not ready for Miss. Great experience and a wonderful chance to see what Louisiana has to offer. (NT) -- MH, 14:08:50 11/25/08 Tue
- The Festival Board is great and the board owner and 95% of the readers do not believe in bashing or tearing contestants apart. So if you like to be negative its not the board for you. (NT) -- festival fan, 16:15:27 11/26/08 Wed
- Louisiana is at the bottom of the totem pole for alot of things. Now, for being the Hate Board. This is certainly nothing to be proud of. Check out the Festival Board. You do not see any of these negative remarks. (NT) -- check it out, 21:44:41 11/26/08 Wed
  - Don't you think it would be great if we could make it through the Holidays without all these negative remarks. Give it a try ! Make this board something to be proud of. (NT) -- hoping, 13:41:59 11/27/08 Thu

Questions Concerning the Miss. New Orleans Pageant Answered -- Shelly Winters (Positive), 09:37:39 11/13/08 Thu [29]
Hell ladies, I don't visit the boards often, I will try to answer your concerns for the Miss New Orleans Pageant.
It pays full entry for Miss La USA Pageant for both Teen & Miss.
In the past TWO years, I made the Miss La State & Miss Jefferson Parish prelims to la USA.

The Miss La State 2007 paid full entries for Teen & Miss.
Miss. Jefferson Parish 2008 paid half the entry for Teen & Miss.

These two pageants will be prelim to the Miss New Orleans 2009 and will pay full entry to New orleans.

The Miss. New orleans pageant will pay full entries to la USA.

In the past TWO years, I had on my forms, that will pay full entry if having 5 or more contestants. There are plenty of costs that goes into directing pageants that contestants are not aware of. I don't believe in promising things that are not realistic in today's economy. If I have it on the form, I will deliver it!

As a former contestant, hair stylist & make-up artist to the Miss New Orleans for the past 16 years. I am honored to continue the success of the pageant along with former directors Debbie Greene and Mary West.

I always let my judges decide on the winners. Their job is very difficult when there are so many talented & beautiful contestants that compete for this title.
The hardest part about directing, is watching the delegates compete as they put their hearts and everything they have into the art of competition and don't take home the title. I wish every delegate could win, unfortunatley only one lady can take home the crown in each division.
Fairness and Honesty is what I base my pageants on!
I promise as director to allow every contestant the chance to win, when having the total package.
The Pageant Industry assist women in developing to their fullest potential. Ladies choose the field of pageantry as a vehicle to launch their careers as boys choose sports to assist them in launching the careers of their dreams.

Winning is an art, like competing is.Learn the secrets to the CROWN and join in the millions of women all over our great country as Pageantry remains A Positive and Assertive tool for women of all ages.

Believe in only half of what you hear and all that you see.

I welcome each and every potential contestant to join me @ the Miss New Orleans Pageant as we celebrate 78 years of Glamour & Pageantry!

Visiting Queens are welcome and will be introduced on stage so let your directos know if you will be attending.

I Remain Sincere,
Shelly Winters Black

        Does she give refunds? -- ?, 18:55:48 11/16/08 Sun
        
        In all honesty, it must be very difficult to obtain judges. If judges are knowledgeable and well-versed in the USA system, then they are probably aware of or have a slight connection to at least one if not all of the contestants. On the other hand, if they are completely unaware of the contestants, and thus assumed to be completely impartial, they are ridiculed for having little to no knowledge of the system. I'm not saying that the proposed panel is perfect, but honestly, it seems like a no win situation for any director UNLESS they spend the money to bring in out of state judges. With a handful of contestants paying approx. $200 to enter, transportation of out-of-state judges doesn't seem like a realistic expense to undertake. Which leads to a question: as a contestant, would you pay $400-$500 entry fees for prelims to allow for the director to pay transportation (flight/mileage) and multi-night accommodations for out-of-state judges? (NT) -- The Optimist, 12:53:41 11/16/08 Sun
        
        You are correct and I know that Shelly is trying to make this as nice of an event as she can. I hope everyone will come and watch this weekend. Good luck to Shelly and all of the ladies competing (NT) -- MH, 13:08:17 11/17/08 Mon
        
        Please don't discount the panel of judges. I see at least 2 names who have judged on National level who will show a lot of wisdom and guidence, Shelly will do a great job giving the judges a mandate on what she wants in a queen. The end result is going to be great! (NT) -- The old vet, 16:19:46 11/17/08 Mon

        Yup. Which is why some people should not judge pageants b/c they don't judge on what they see the day of and they are too honest about what they don't like about the contestants, and not in a helpful way. It is one thing to try and help or even to be postive but a few of these folks like SW Sigma have been down rt nasty about these girls.

Subject: Something is rotten on the judges panel in the state of South Carolina. Their is only one panel of judges and 3 of them are Nascar folks. Stacy Compton and his wife are judges, they are listed on Standout Productions website as clients. Yes, my friends Miss Coolley got the judges, check out her website www.Standoutproductions.net He is listed under May 2008 schedule. WRONG< WRONG< WRONG>

It amazes me that someone like Paula Miles (whom I admire and respect) would risk her well earned credibility by letting Chelsea Cooley basically take over her pageants. Chelsea needs to remember that Paula is the Director and Paula needs to remember that Chelsea's income is directly tied to the outcome of these pageants. Friends of the pageant coach (i.e Chelsea) should NEVER be allowed to judge. If this is the case, a lot of Moms and Dads have wasted a lot of money in this time of extreme economic crisis and if that is the case....shame on Chelsea for trying to stack the panel and shame on Paula for letting her. (NT) -- Fan of Paula Miles, 19:41:58 11/21/08 Fri
This is too bad. I wonder why Paula would allow this and not do her homework on the judges. It also speaks of those judges in question as well as Chelasea to allow it to happen. It does make them loose a little credibility in a few eyes. It is too bad this is happening and I wish all directors would put more effort into selecting judges. It seems this is happening alot this year; Also with repeate judges two years in a row. (NT) -- directors need to think about the judges a little more., 22:58:00 11/21/08 Fri
Paula used to advise her locals to not have married couples as it could publically "taint" the overall legitimacy of the score. I doubt very seriously she's doing something that she didn't allow. Usually her couples split...one on Teen panel, one on Miss. Who are the other judges and which girl has the Nascar connection? (NT) -- Hooked, 23:43:57 11/21/08 Fri
*Snicker Snicker* You said "taint." (NT) -- New York "Beavis & Butthead" Guy, 00:04:51 11/22/08 Sat
Three judges out of the six judges have a Nascar connection: Stacy Compton, Vickie Compton, and Lori Hamilton. These six judges are judging both the Miss & Teen categories. During the opening number: Miss LA USA, Miss LA Teen USA, and Chelsea Cooley all walked the runway together (the NC queens in attendance did not). After one of the phases of competition, Chelsea was brought onstage for a Q&A session with Dana -- no other formers in attendance were brought onstage. (NT) -- Sad...., 00:06:58 11/22/08 Sat
Perhaps because she was the only former Miss USA in attendance? (NT) -- duh, 00:09:24 11/22/08 Sat
It is NASCAR country baby. All judges are outstanding. And the competition is extremely competitive. (NT) -- Welcome to the Carolinas, 00:44:48 11/22/08 Sat
OK, I'm probably asking a really dumb question, but what is the "fear/problem/comment/concern" with NASCAR. Seems like such a strange thing that is evidently an issue. Obviously, I don't get it. (NT) -- thanks for the help, 05:46:57 11/22/08 Sat
The Comptons are listed on Cooleys website as her clients, he and his wife and Bobby hamiltons widow are judges, there is only one panel that also includes Cal Tindal, Jonathan Black and some TV person. There arent 2 panel like the past. Now dont you think Miss Cooley will be telling the Comptons who needs to be the winners. Come on people! This is wrong. Judges shouldnt know the girls, BLack and Tindal have judged for RPM for many years. Find some new judges. (NT) -- was there, 10:21:16 11/22/08 Sat
This isn't the same Jonathon Black involved in the shady MAO program, is it? (NT) -- Doodle, 11:17:36 11/22/08 Sat
MD MAO* (NT) -- Doodle, 11:18:32 11/22/08 Sat
Paula is breaking her own rules which I find very disappointing. There is definitely a married couple judging on the same panel that are friends with one of the primary "Pageant Judges". That is just not fair and I would be very, very upset if my child were competing. Paula has to stop this or her numbers will continue to drop. (NT) -- Paula Miles Fan, 10:49:46 11/22/08 Sat
What is the wbesite where you can view pictures from the Miss LA USA and Miss NC USA pageant? (NT) -- Miss USA Fan, 11:16:49 11/22/08 Sat
LA USA had only 5 judges for Teen and Miss - (3 men 2 women) 4 from Texas ( 2 judges were married Megan Ellis parents) - 1 from Colorado - They were right on with Teen, but Miss Division judging was way off (NT) -- observer- Prefer judges for each group, 11:27:30 11/22/08 Sat
Regardless of whether Chelsea is the only Miss USA in attendance (which I will still never understand her winning), once she decides to become a Pageant Coach and make her living off of these girls, that over rides her status as a former Miss USA (at these events). She cannot have her cake and eat it too. Paula needs to sit down and have a long talk with her after this pageant. Paula can eirher look out for her own best intertst or the best interst of Chelsea. Something tells me that Paula will resolve tihs quickly and Chelsea will not continue to play such a dominant role in these pageants......unless Paula is planning to let her take over???? (NT) -- Allie, 12:07:06 11/22/08 Sat
There will be no changes (NT) -- Dream on, 12:12:02 11/22/08 Sat
Please excuse my typos. I really wish we had "spell check" on the Board (haha) (NT) -- Allie, 12:10:46 11/22/08 Sat
What do you mean...."there will be no changes". Do you think Paula will continue to allow Chelsea to have such free reign???? (NT) -- Allie, 12:14:45 11/22/08 Sat
Possinly. It is too bad this is happening. WHy would a director allow Chelsea to run the damn pageant. It has just made me loose respect for Chelsea.Her business will grow depending on the outcome. Of course one of her girls will be winning. By the way why is she claiming to coach people she has never coached. Her newsletters are very very deceptive. (NT) -- would never use her., 13:14:32 11/22/08 Sat

        Opinions about someone's appearance is one thing, but how you phrase that opinion is another.

        I think it has everything to do with the "spin cycle" but she wasn't alone -- she's not that innocent, 04:44:11 11/20/08 Thu
  - I think the biggest problem is that LM has not always been a very nice girl. In fact she has been down right nasty to many, many young ladies that she saw as competition. I honestly don't think there is a "jealousy" issue here. I think that the young women that have been on the raw end of LM wrath are paying her back. Remember the old saying, "you reap what you sow". Well it's coming back to her ten fold. From what I have heard, she deserves every bit of it. I guess she better develope some tough skin because she got what she wanted and unfortunately this comes along with it. (NT) -- have seen her in action., 17:45:08 11/19/08 Wed
    - We hear how horrible and bitchy many of the titleholders are while they are competing and when they win. I've heard of "you reap what you sow" and I've also heard "turn the other cheek" I just choose the last choice over the other. You should try it too. (NT) -- Really...try it, 18:22:15 11/19/08 Wed
      - For the first time, Louisiana is sending a beautiful contestant that can actually do something Nationally, and people are still going to bash her?

Don't pay attention to this board. I promise you have more people supporting you than the few that are bashing. Your hard work has paid off...keep it up!

        A beautiful contestant that looks 40 years old. It's not just a few people who have issues with her for one thing or another. If you look at every message board LOTS of people are saying the same thing. She LOOKS OLD. Melissa McConnell looked old and see where it got her. She was beautiful but looked older than the other contestants. Telling LM not to pay attention to this board is like telling her to stop wearing makeup. She is on here all the time as is the rest of her family. She loves it. What I can't wait to see is which one of Paula's other girls will be roomed with LM at USA. Boy, that should be interesting. Two weeks, lots of damage can be done in that amount of time. The real LM will surface. The one some people rarely see. (NT) -- we'll find out how sweet and nice she is then, 09:32:09 11/20/08 Thu
        
        Yes and Crystal Stewart looks mature as well, compared to the other contestants. I see where it got her, do you? Both are beautiful. (NT) -- Ian, 09:58:22 11/20/08 Thu
        Louisiana may not be roomed with NC or SC. She may be roomed with a different state. (NT) -- Just cheer for the girl, please, 13:37:54 11/20/08 Thu
        
        Well, whomever she is roomed with, they better lock up their goodies. Sabotage!!!!!! Would not put ANYTHING past her, especially if the girl is pretty. She is TOTALLY intimidated by pretty girls. (NT) -- can't wait to hear about the cat fights., 16:43:15 11/20/08 Thu

        AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! could you imagine how many toothless, tobacco chewing hags are sitting on this board nocking various girls, when they, probably walk out their front door with horrible bottle job hair do's and cellulite asses. Tooshee to all the girls who sit here and just let the wannabee's vent, I could only imagine what you look like. Let's see how two faced you are when we get to see "The real you", talk about the pot calling the Kettle black. Who hasn't had a conflict with others while competing, do you think everyone is all here to make Best friends, heck no.... they are here to win...

It's just LA in general. They rarely, if ever, support their titleholders until it's time for nationals and they do well. If they don't do well, then they behead them publically. Usually, though for the USA system there, they choose one or the other (teen or miss) to pick on. It was miss in 07, teen in 08, and now miss in 09 (NT) -- cattiest state, 12:30:39 11/17/08 Mon "

Could we just for 1 damn year get behind the WINNERS and root them on. This is starting to be very stupid. Congrats to both girls you will represent LA wonderfully. NL also helped Merrill with her dress give credit where credit is do. Their are things we may not like about each other but NL knows her dresses and gives it her all and that is just a stated FACT.

- We have had enough DRAMA in the last 2 years. FACT: NL has been in business, lets see, 2 years, FACT: she lied to many contestants, she IS NOT the exclusive to Sherri Hill in La. FACT: she only supported LM at the pageant, NOT all of the girls she dressed. (NT) -- I stuck to the facts, 05:27:55 11/10/08 Mon
  - As a member of another girl's family, she supported our daughter and at least three others that I know of for sure. She clapped for them, spoke with them and was very honest and supportive about their preformance. NL had nothing to do with the drama around Evans and surely had nothing to do with anything about Liz or Logan. NL can be hard to get along with, she is very blunt and honest in her opinion. Of the girls who bought dresses from her this year, every single one looked great. And, yes, she did fly to OK with LM b/c LM ordered a gown pretty late and NL wanted to make sure that it came in. If you worked with NL you cannot say that she put you in something that did not look great on you. If she did not work with you or support you in the way you wanted to be supported don't go back, but her gowns and the gown choices were great. -- If we don't win we should not put that on someone else, 07:56:09 11/10/08 Mon

        Leslie, I appreciate your candor and your opinions; however, you may want to consider that, at times, it�s okay to censor yourself and not say EVERYTHING you feel EXACTLY the way you feel it. It�s okay to leave out the expletives as well. Remember, you catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar ; ) (NT) -- Not everything is a personal attack, 14:19:38 11/10/08 Mon
        
        You see that the problem I don't take it as a personal attack. But I will always state my opinions and if it hurts your eyes or hurts your ears feel free not to read it. I want this to be fun but its always Corinn lives in Mississippi go compete there. Just constant UGH! Calee's body looks like a man. Well, the last time I looked most men don't look like her. The body is fit and that's a FACT! Some people like different body types. But its always bash bash and you know I know 10 yr old who have killed themselves for someone saying things like that. Plus Good Housekeeping will tell you vinegar is one of the best things to clean up a mess. (NT) -- Leslie Malagarie, 17:45:31 11/10/08 Mon
        
        This is what I was talking about, Leslie. I actually appreciate your comments, as I stated in my previous post, but you return with an "in your face" post like this. All I can tell you is calm down...pageantry can be ugly, but we don't have to add to it. (NT) -- Take some advice as you would like others to take yours, 18:33:35 11/10/08 Mon
        
        I agree. If you are trying to get people to see your point, offensive language is the wrong route. Offer your opinion, but dont force it on anyone. (NT) -- profanity not needed, 09:50:02 11/11/08 Tue
