Subject Author Date Gosh, you guys are funny! The site looks great (and no, I am not one of the directors or anyone affiliated with them). These directors give a lot to their community and have a great passion for pageantry. If you have met them, or been to one of their pageants, you will see how much they care and how hard they work for their girls. I love the site and think the flash presentation is great! Wish I knew how to do something like that. (NT) Keep up the good work ladies! 13:30:52 10/25/04 Mon Re: Gosh, you guys are funny!

Wish I knew how to do something like that. (NT) -- I see the other posters point....but have to ask you if they are so fantastic why misrepresent their pageant?, 17:46:16 10/25/04 Mon I think some people are reading way too much into the video. I watched it again to really try to see the previous posters point. There was ONE photo of Nakia at state during the "appearance" section that could be considered questionable. The point of the vid is to attract new contestants to compete in their pageants. We all know where the photo came from but young ladies new to pageants don't. Do you really think that has an impact on their overall experience as contestants? (NT) -- Besides, from what I hear they make their queens feel like stars at EVERY event they attend, 19:52:24 10/25/04 Mon I have to agree. There queens seem very happy about their experiences and that is what is truly important....the positive impact on these young girls' lives! (NT) -- Just talk to their queens if you have any doubts!, 21:54:45 10/25/04 Mon Re: I have to agree. There queens seem very happy about their experiences and that is what is truly important....the positive impact on these young girls' lives! (NT) -- Yes but from what I got from them they are told to just show up with their crown and sash on and more than 1/2 of the appearances weren't scheduled just throw on the sash/crown and snap a picture for the website., 01:14:26 10/26/04 Tue That is so untrue! The only appearances that weren't official or scheduled appearances were the ones from the Miss USA pageant. Angela and Kim are very well connected in their community and have very open communication with the Chamber in each city. This whole argument is petty jealousy. They are hands down the best, most involved, local directors in the state. (NT) -- I've know Kim for many years. She is very organized and plans every detail out months in advance. I can't imagine her just "showing up" to these appearances especially ones in their own community., 02:33:39 10/26/04 Tue Re: That is so untrue!

(NT) -- I know that is how the Teen USA event went., 08:01:45 10/26/04 Tue They didn't go to Teen USA, they went to Miss USA. If you were in Los Angeles at that time you would have seen all kinds of title holders walking around with their sashes on, even those not affiliated with the Miss USA Pageant. Some Teen USA contestants went sightseeing with their sashes and no one says anything about those photos (NT) -- Get over it, the pageant is great, the photos are fantastic, and the video is amazing. Way to go Daytona, 13:23:55 10/26/04 Tue Re: They didn't go to Teen USA, they went to Miss USA. If you were in Los Angeles at that time you would have seen all kinds of title holders walking around with their sashes on, even those not affiliated with the Miss USA Pageant. Some Teen USA contestants went sightseeing with their sashes and no one says anything about those photos (NT) -- I saw the video of the opening number last year. I am not sure about the judgement used to choreograph the dance but it was a good pageant., 13:49:10 10/26/04 Tue I heard that they weren't happy with their choreographer for the Daytona pageant because the dance was questionable. It was someone they trusted to do a good job so they didn't have her show them the dance until she was teaching it to the contestants. Kendra Waller choreographed the Volusia pageant which was awesome. (NT) -- I think the Daytona pageant had flaws and if you TALK to the directors, they are the first to point them out. I thought Volusia pageant was flawless, 16:19:09 10/26/04 Tue Re: I heard that they weren't happy with their choreographer for the Daytona pageant because the dance was questionable. It was someone they trusted to do a good job so they didn't have her show them the dance until she was teaching it to the contestants. Kendra Waller choreographed the Volusia pageant which was awesome. (NT) -- Why did the directors dance in it then? The director is always responsible., 19:50:11 10/26/04 Tue No director danced in either pageant. Is your question why did the directors let the contestants dance it? You can't change something as big as the opening number at the last second. I too thought the Volusia pageant was flawless, great show! (NT) -- At least this pageant does an actual opening number! Even the state pageant doesn't do that., 20:14:07 10/26/04 Tue I think Kim and Angela are excellent Directors and an asset to the USA system-they do great work with their girls but--- (NT) -- Volusia flawless??? Then what was all the chat about on their board about judges, explanations, etc., 21:08:28 10/26/04 Tue If you read the statement from directors on their board then you would know that was all from one parent who wasn't happy that her daughter didn't make the semi-finals (NT) -- the issue has been resolved, 00:07:50 10/27/04 Wed
