• All contestants will receive a $50 gift certificate towards their entry fee in the Miss LA Gulf Coast pageant and the alternates discounts will be worth $75.00. -- More awards to come, 10:44:48 11/13/08 Thu
  • Do all contestants get the discounts or just Teen and Miss -- Thanks, 20:29:52 11/13/08 Thu
    • Judges??????? -- ?, 14:46:53 11/14/08 Fri
      • Did you see the list. Ummm who is Russia sending and who is closest to Debbie Green Mrs. LA America? Should be interesting -- One week can't wait, 22:28:03 11/14/08 Fri
        • What list? Where did you find it? -- pageant junkie, 06:57:51 11/15/08 Sat
          • List? Do you mean judges list? Who is supposed tp be judging? Please clarify!!!!!!!!!! -- Thanks, 08:42:56 11/15/08 Sat
            • That's what I'm trying to figure out. Are the judges listed somewhere? The website says celebirty judges. A few names have been thrown out and from the looks of it the numbers are pretty good. Will be a great competition. Deadline has already passed but she is still accepting with a late fee. -- pageant junkie, 18:38:03 11/15/08 Sat

            • Mrs. LA America, Steve Walters, a Former Mrs. LA (US and America) some dudes from New Orleans and Debbie Green as side awards. Same ole same ole judges -- Not looking for anything new, 23:50:55 11/15/08 Sat
              • What happened to obtaining judges that were impartial and were strangers to the contestants! -- La fan, 11:37:52 11/16/08 Sun
                • Umm it is a Shelly pageant. She uses these same type of judges all the time. Oh there is also Denise McKnight a news guy and some contractor from New Orleans. Tell me what Elizabeth Minville knows about Miss USA, nothing and how can she judge women who competed against her for the Mrs. title. -- I would get my money back, 12:36:20 11/16/08 Sun
                  • 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
          • hope list does noy impair the pageant, some of them have stated lots of opinions on the contestants -- opinion, 14:40:31 11/18/08 Tue
            • 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. Guess we will have to wait and see -- Sunday is just a few days away, 15:20:38 11/18/08 Tue
              • State opinions about them and a few days later judging them. Some have alot of fences to mend. -- puzzled, 17:56:03 11/18/08 Tue
                • Who is SW Sigma and who has a lot of fences to mend? Did I miss something? -- curious george, 07:42:07 11/19/08 Wed
                  • Steve Walters and read what he has said about the girls during the pageant on some of his previous post. He is all about RUSSIA so if Sara Brooks is in she could be a shoe in -- Looks fishy, 13:25:10 11/19/08 Wed
                    • RUSSIA and Steve barely know each other. And just to confirm, so you dont go after Sara now, the answer is NO... She is NOT doing Miss New Orelans. -- Aim your laser on someone else, 16:55:33 11/19/08 Wed
                      • Really b/c they seem to have a good friendship and they well wish each other often. I am sure if Ross has someone in the pageant Steve will help her win. Or if there is an America oldie in the pageant since he is an AMERICA prelim director -- So much for USA, 20:58:42 11/22/08 Sat
                        • No wonder no ones in Miss! -- bystander, 16:14:33 11/23/08 Sun
                    • I'm not expecting to see Sara this weekend on the stage. I don't think we'll see her again until state next year (or maybe Miss UL) -- I think she'll be competitive by next year, 18:24:22 11/19/08 Wed
                    • Steven Walters, has never said anything about the girls, yes he did agree with RUSSIA. On the Lindsey Evans Issue.Please get your story straight -- You don't have a good enough memory to be a successful liar, 19:20:28 11/19/08 Wed
                      • You can read it on the archives but no matter we will see how m=bad of a judge he is this weekend. Miss New Orleans goes Miss America -- Oh well, 19:58:34 11/19/08 Wed
                        • very interesting reading -- curious, 20:04:36 11/22/08 Sat
                          • Meeting was tonight, wonder who is in it? -- Any names, 21:35:58 11/22/08 Sat
