I'm sorry, but I am so sick of this person in black as Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 05:35:28 11/06/09 Fri And we are sick of your whining and complaining. (NT) -- No name, 07:51:54 11/06/09 Fri It was a Holloween announcement. (NT) -- No name, 12:52:24 11/07/09 Sat The all black wardrobe is horrible. And just think, when we saw that pretty little interview dress, we thought she would look great as Miss America. How wrong we were. (NT) -- No name, 08:23:49 11/06/09 Fri The only wrong one is you. She is wearing what the sponsor is providing and she looks always looks lovely in it. (NT) -- No name, 08:34:45 11/06/09 Fri No she doesn't. She looks horrible. Gothic. (NT) -- No name, 15:30:02 11/06/09 Fri Kirsten was the best dressed Miss America in a long time. She spoiled us. (NT) -- No name, 08:33:16 11/06/09 Fri Kirsten? the best dressed Miss America?? Now, that's a good one! (NT) -- haha, 11:04:29 11/06/09 Fri Kirsten wore a lot of betsey Johnson (NT) -- No name, 11:43:41 11/06/09 Fri Could she be any more unenthusiastic? Geez. Not good. (NT) -- No name, 08:49:33 11/06/09 Fri She is boring and dressed horribly and we only have Agee more months. (NT) -- No name, 09:01:01 11/06/09 Fri Go easy on the girl. She's living out of a suitcase for crying out loud! When I was Miss State and was travelling extensively I wore a lot of Black, too. Black is great for the simple reason of practicality. If you're wearing mostly black you can pack one pair of shoes and a few accessories that go with all your stuff! (NT) -- I think she always looks great!, 10:41:00 11/06/09 Fri Several of us live out of suitcases. (NT) -- No name, 15:27:29 11/07/09 Sat Katie looks terrible but we just have to keep in mind that a sponsor is dressing her (NT) -- No name, 11:47:25 11/06/09 Fri Sorry, but that sponsor has more colors than black. (NT) -- No name, 15:29:33 11/06/09 Fri Wow! She seems SO tired!! I don't doubt that she is, but it's really coming across that maybe she's getting a little worn out... (NT) -- No name, 11:50:15 11/06/09 Fri She just finished speaking at our school. She was marvelous, energetic, and warm. I wish you could have seen the faces of those in the audience from my perspective on the stage. They were enthralled, and were in our target audience. (NT) -- No name, 11:53:41 11/06/09 Fri Too bad she couldn't have been marvelous, energetic, or warm for this 2 minute spot. I guess her appearance at your school took all she could muster for the whole week. (NT) -- No name, 15:20:31 11/06/09 Fri very disappointing. (NT) -- No name, 16:21:18 11/06/09 Fri Thanks for sharing this with us. Glad to hear it. From every single tv appearance I have seen, she has not come across well at all. (NT) -- No name, 15:31:57 11/06/09 Fri Wouldn't YOU be worn out? Think of how you feel after lots of travel- even for a vacation. Airport by airport by exhausting day by exhausting day- our Miss America's do a great job under intense time and freedom restrictions. Check out books by other Miss Americas-they say how dog tired they were and happy to pass the crown on by the end. Go Katie! (NT) -- No name, 11:55:03 11/06/09 Fri I'm exhausted when I travel with business even for a day or two day trip. Cross country flights are very exhausting. I think she is doing a tremendous job, well spoken, energetic and dynamic. I agree that black attire is easy for travel purposes. Did anyone notice in the Extra clip that the contestants on the red carpet were from Kirsten's year?? (NT) -- No name, 12:36:31 11/06/09 Fri I'm sick of these sorry excuses. She certainly could muster up some kind or any kind of vitality for a lousy sixty seconds of screen time. Doesn't she want to go into broadcasting? Well, who on earth would hire somebody with absolutely no spark? Gimme a break. Instead of thinking about how tired she is, she should be thinking of the people who are going to see her. (NT) -- No name, 14:16:44 11/06/09 Fri I agree 1000%. I know this was a tiny little spot, but it leaves the viewer wanting to tune in for Mario only. I doubt there are that many Mario Lopez fans willing to sit through a two hour "scholarship" pageant. especially when the winner can't even muster up 60 seconds of enthusiasm about his hosting. (NT) -- Tired my ASS., 15:18:57 11/06/09 Fri What's she supposed to do, act like a perky little cheer leader? If she were more enthusiastic, you'd all say she was way over the top! She also is given only a few outfits at a time to wear, then she sends those outfits in and they send her new ones, it's not like she gets a huge selection. Give her a break, she's doing a lot better job than any of you could! (NT) -- I think she's a great Miss America!, 17:37:13 11/06/09 Fri I don't care if she wears the same outfit 24/7 365. And no one wants her to be "over the top". But if you can't see that she seems lackluster and super low energy here, you are a fan of hers and are unwilling to admit that she may have had an off day, or you're a family member or friend. If she were auditioning for a role as a news caster, they'd never let her in the door with material like this. (NT) -- No name, 12:48:51 11/07/09 Sat I'm really disappointed in her lack of enthusiasm. I could muster up more energy than that fresh out of bed in the morning. I understand that she is traveling and very busy and must be worn out, but she IS miss america and should have known she would need to be "on" for a whole year (or at least for 30 second spoofs on tv!) so she knew what she was signing up for. it leaves me wondering if she is battling an eating disorder. look, i loved katie when she was crowned and have nothing against her, but she has become so frail and thin, and one of the signs of anorexia is extreme lack of energy. they need to feed her and put her in some brighter colors. (NT) -- pa, 17:35:16 11/06/09 Fri She's doing a fabulous job! Love our Miss America! (NT) -- No name, 09:30:07 11/07/09 Sat Mario.."I crowned Miss America"....funny, he doesn't look like Kirsten! (NT) -- No name, 10:47:43 11/07/09 Sat It has been a while since we have had a sincere, genuine Miss America. Very proud to have her represent an organization that I have invested 35 years into. (NT) -- No name, 11:03:27 11/07/09 Sat How do you think she is more sincere and genuine than Lauren and Kirsten were? (NT) -- No name, 15:29:06 11/07/09 Sat did Mario really just say that HE crowned Miss Indiana as Miss America? (NT) -- No name, 12:54:53 11/07/09 Sat I think some of you are being a little picky about his wording. Obviously what he meant was that he announced her as Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 14:11:11 11/07/09 Sat Think about this.... -- former titleholder (competed with Katie), 14:23:33 11/07/09 Sat I think she is wonderful. In this clip she seems almost medicated/sedated, like when you go to a funeral of a child and the mother is so medicated she answers in only short automatic thoughts, that is how she sounds. (NT) -- No name, 14:31:57 11/07/09 Sat Was she sick and not feeling well? That was just awful. (NT) -- No name, 14:58:46 11/07/09 Sat I think there's some sour grapes on this site. (NT) -- Need to move on with your life., 15:02:41 11/07/09 Sat I don't get why it's sour grapes to heap unwarranted praise on people. Like I said above, if you can't see that (like the majority of us posting about it CAN) then you're blind and deaf. I happen to like Katie, and think she was the right choice to win the crown...but here, she's about a step above a coma. It's not mean, it's not sour grapes. It's a truthful observation...and some of you need to learn the difference, and stop thinking that every comment that isn't a heaping helping of praise, is mean-spirited or full of sour grapes. (NT) -- No name, 15:21:18 11/07/09 Sat There are no sour grapes. We have been supportive of Katie and given her all this time to get acclimated to the position. But she just gets worse. (NT) -- No name, 15:30:14 11/07/09 Sat I think katie is a beautiful MA, and as just a former state, can understand exhaustion and stress. But one should be able to pull it together for a short commercial promoting the pageant that gave you a great opportunity. I do wonder if she was (is) ill. I am not saying she is definitely anorexic, but she is so thin it is not surprising that she has no energy. (NT) -- No name, 16:21:59 11/07/09 Sat

Subject: Encore Pageant store
Author: Shopper [Edit]	Date Posted: 18:04:44 11/06/09 Fri Does anyone have any experience with this store. I am a little concerned as it seems that really big prices are being charged for dresses that aren't really worth that much. Does anyone have expereince with them? Does the store sponsor pageants? Trying to decide if my gut instinct is right so interested in hearing about experiences. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

would love some feedback about this store and others. Anyone have some insight/ (NT) -- Would like some help shopping., 14:30:57 11/07/09 Sat Where is this store located? (NT) -- No name, 14:53:20 11/07/09 Sat Maybe this will help - http://www.pageantrymagazine.com/magazine/features/2003/d03/d03webwatchretailers.html It is from Pageantry Magazine.

Subject: Pageant legends....
Author: No name [Edit]	Date Posted: 16:57:56 11/06/09 Fri WITHOUT NAMING THE STATE OR THE CONTESTANT (!!!) what is the strangest, most talked about behavior you have seen exhibited at a pageant in your state (local or state level)?? In my state, the 1st runner up from the year before competed and didn't even make top 10 the following year--she threw a major hissy fit and stormed out of the arena, packed up her stuff and went home! They talked about that little episode for years!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Our girls stay in dorms and after the pageant one girl who did do well want to leave so she start throwing her luggage out of the 2nd story window. I think after tat they let the girls go on their own after the final night LOLt (NT) -- No name, 17:15:34 11/06/09 Fri OMG, I was THERE!! (NT) -- She was CRAZY to say the least!, 20:15:24 11/06/09 Fri Opps DIDN't do well (NT) -- No name, 17:16:11 11/06/09 Fri There was one state pageant where I swear I saw a contestant stick her tongue out at the judges because she didn't make top ten. (NT) -- Boo., 17:22:41 11/06/09 Fri i do not know if it is an urban legend or not but i have heard the story about a state title holder kicking her crown across the stage (NT) -- No name, 17:27:06 11/06/09 Fri Not an urban legend!! This happened in North Carolina back in 1979 or 1980. The outgoing Miss NC, on the night before she was to crown her successor, was fired for speaking to the press about not receiving all the prizes she had been promised. The Jaycees delivered the news during, or just prior to, the final night of preliminary competition while she was standing backstage waiting to go on, wearing her gown and crown. She pulled the crown off her head, threw it out onto the stage and her mother walked out, stomped on it and said something to the audience! No lie--this was even in People magazine. The former later made up with the pageant and has been back as a special guest a few times. (NT) -- No name, 17:55:45 11/06/09 Fri Yep. She drop-kicked that baby across the stage! (NT) -- No name, 18:42:55 11/06/09 Fri A girl's dress went missing on the final day in the afternoon and everyone was searching for it. They found it in the men's locker room, stuffed in a sleeping bag, in the bottom of a locker. The police were going to be brought in to question and fingerprint...but the girl who lost the dress said it was okay, she only cared that it was found. Later, come to find out...she hid it herself! Supposedly she wanted to wear a different evening gown for final night. (NT) -- No name, 17:45:33 11/06/09 Fri A couple of stories from my state: first, a contestant who had done really well in another pageant system (she actually won a state title, in fact) did not make top 10 at the MAO state pageant. She caused quite a scene and was totally ungracious about the whole thing and never competed again. Another year, a runnerup was angry that she didn't win and threw her trophy in the trashcan backstage....I've always wondered who fished it out and kept it. They must have quite a cool souvenir. (NT) -- No name, 17:58:48 11/06/09 Fri Most of these stories seemed to have happened in NC. (NT) -- No name, 01:04:31 11/07/09 Sat LOL! I guess we do have good stories in North Carolina! (NT) -- No name, 15:55:27 11/07/09 Sat My older sister won a local title and competed at state back in the mid 1970s. She was quiet, shy and from a very small town and was shocked to see the cigarettes come out--then a few bottles appeared and the cussing started. She was glad when the week was finally over. What a culture shock for her. LOL (NT) -- No name, 18:16:42 11/06/09 Fri Well, aside from contestants who probably will do anything out of rage, I witnessed a parent of a contestant who had competed for 3 years, always made T-5 and always won talent, throw a fit in the parking lot screaming and yelling at the top of her lungs while people were all around, accusing the ED of fixing the pageant and the whole nine yards. Her poor daughter, I am sure was just horrified. (NT) -- No name, 18:25:57 11/06/09 Fri I remember reading anewspaper artcile about a local contestant who mooned the judges. (NT) -- No name, 18:28:49 11/06/09 Fri Sorry for all of the errors. (NT) -- No name, 18:29:16 11/06/09 Fri 4th RU competed knowing full well she was pregnant. Save birth to twins in much less than 9 months from the pageant week. Her selfishness kept a deserving young woman out of Top 5 and another out of Top 10 and more importantly they lost out on scholarship money. (NT) -- No name, 18:36:14 11/06/09 Fri Devil's advocate here: most twins are born prematurely, hence, less that 9 months gestation. (NT) -- Still a quick life transition for that 4RU, no doubt!, 22:07:49 11/06/09 Fri You're just assuming she knew she was pregnant. Given how much stress girls throw their bodies into getting ready for state, she probably would assumed any changes or missed periods would have been the result of her workout routine. AND it is completely possible to be pregnant and not know it. Don't run around accusing this girl of cheating anyone unless you know the facts. You're probably the same person who spewed this hatred on the state board. Get over it, your girl probably wasn't next in line anyway. (NT) -- No name, 22:17:34 11/06/09 Fri YIKES!! Someone struck a nerve! Sensitive, aren't we? (NT) -- No name, 22:20:40 11/06/09 Fri in our state a contestants father blew up and cursed at the state director. Doesn't matter though, the girl has done very, very well, to say the least. (NT) -- No name, 18:37:11 11/06/09 Fri If you mean current title holder, then that's doing pretty well. (NT) -- VA, 00:44:04 11/07/09 Sat This is no lie, I saw it myself at a local pageant about 25 years ago. A contestant won after--now get ready--lip synching to a record!! It wasn't made clear to the judges that she wasn't actually singing and they thought she had this incredible talent. They didn't find out until after the pageant that they had been duped. This wasn't a Miss America local but I thought you'd find it interesting. (NT) -- No name, 18:37:36 11/06/09 Fri Two words--Milli Vanilli. (NT) -- No name, 20:29:21 11/06/09 Fri One more! A girl didn't make top ten in our state one year and peed herself on stage in anger. (NT) -- No name, 18:38:45 11/06/09 Fri Tell me you are making that up!! LMAO!! (NT) -- No name, 18:46:22 11/06/09 Fri The Pageant Guru can tell us a good story from this past summer. (NT) -- Right David?, 18:44:37 11/06/09 Fri Share, Guru, share!! We've spilled our guts. LOL (NT) -- No name, 18:58:26 11/06/09 Fri This past summer at a MAO state pageant a girl threw such a tantrum after not making Top 10 that the police had to be called, she threatened the directors, threw food and stuff all over the place; she and her family had to be told to leave by the police. The police escorted the judges out and stayed until everyone had gone home. It was pretty freaky and scared some of the girls, especially the younger ones who were in the teen pageant that same weekend. Then she competed in another pageant a couple months later (not MAO) and made Top 10 but that was it. Not sure if she did anything crazy that time. (NT) -- k, 00:43:50 11/07/09 Sat I was once a casual family friend of a contestant who had competed in several pageants. She had won Miss Congeniality in every single local she competed in. She finally made it to State and you guessed it! Miss Congeniality and that's all she won. I rode with her family from the auditorium to the after party. She was also riding with us. When everyone could see she had a smile plastered on and was proudly holding her trophy. When she was out of sight of the public she threw her trophy down on the floorboard of the car and said...."Crap! I can't believe I spent the whole f***ing week down here and that's all I got......wait a minute! Did I get money with that?" She was (is)a lovely girl. (NT) -- No name, 01:12:03 11/07/09 Sat* Heard rumors in my state that one year a girl was so made she didnt make the top ten that she left the auditorium and went across the street to the Wal-Mart (In the pouring rain) gown and all. I'd love to know all of the REAL details behind this story. (NT) -- No name, 01:22:47 11/07/09 Sat

I love Alyssa! (NT) -- FP, 07:52:39 11/07/09 Sat Brianna J - 1st ru in GA has it in green and wins overall gown nearly every time with it. All I can think is reptile when I see it, but everyone else loves it. (NT) -- No name, 07:54:34 11/07/09 Sat I loved her green EG. (NT) -- No name, 07:55:22 11/07/09 Sat I agree about Briana's dress! She was a definite standout and that dress was perfect for her. (NT) -- No name, 07:58:07 11/07/09 Sat Was the trim on the Briana's gown gold? (NT) -- No name, 08:03:30 11/07/09 Sat Let's don't exaggerate her EG wins. She wore it to Miss GA ONCE and won gown in it ONCE at state - not "everytime"... (NT) -- No name, 13:44:04 11/07/09 Sat Did an Oklahoma contestant wear this at state? (NT) -- No name, 09:25:24 11/07/09 Sat Yes Damaris Pierce (NT) -- No name, 10:21:29 11/07/09 Sat And she looked fabulous in it! (NT) -- great on stage as well, 13:14:24 11/07/09 Sat interesting dress, but I wouldn't want it seen every year at a pageant as a hand-me-down. I can just hear people say in the audeince "there comes that weird snakeskin dress again." (NT) -- No name, 11:25:22 11/07/09 Sat Reminds me of a fish with big scales! (NT) -- No name, 12:16:41 11/07/09 Sat That dress is tacky! The only girl it would look half way decent on is someone like the model above because she is stick thin with a visible waist. Now put that gown on your "average JoeAnn" pageant contestant who isn't a size 0 and they will look like they are a big ass snake gettin ready to molt on stage! The dress is too costumey and in my opinion not elegant! -- IVANA B. ASTAR, 11:58:48 11/07/09 Sat I happen to think it's quite lovely actually, very reminiscent of the patterns used on gowns in the art deco age. It's certainly a refreshing change from the 4 or 5 gowns that get beaten to death every pageant season. (NT) -- No name, 12:45:45 11/07/09 Sat Totally agree with you Ivana - I think it looks gaudy and tacky. Briana Jewett - a contestant in Georgia - has this same gown in green and she looks like a fish when she comes on stage in it. Of course there are a ton of people who love it and she won overall gown this summer, but I was SHOCKED that THIS horrible gown would win. I thought we wanted a red-carpet look... this looks more like a theatrical costume or Vegas showgirl outfit. There's NOTHING elegant about it. Oh well - I guess everyone's got different taste! (NT) -- No name, 13:42:19 11/07/09 Sat I was beginning to think I was the only person who hated this gown. (NT) -- No name, 14:56:32 11/07/09 Sat You can see it in action at missoklahoma.org in the banner. It does not look good on the hanger but it looks great on stage. (NT) -- No name, 12:21:06 11/07/09 Sat first thing that comes to mind whenever i see this dress is "rainbow fish".. however, yes, briana was beautiful in it at miss ga (NT) -- No name, 12:39:05 11/07/09 Sat Sara Catherine Short wore this at Miss Alabama in June.

(NT) -- Thought Jackie did great at Miss America., 21:53:09 11/06/09 Fri It's probably being talked about because the OP posted a question.

(NT) -- No name, 11:42:36 11/07/09 Sat Because there is some weird "how tall is Jackie Geist" stalker. This question got asked about a million times when she was Miss CA, and now they just won't let it go. And the conversation always degenerates into some arguement about how tall she is or isn't. It's exhausting, that's why all the anger. (NT) -- No name, 12:43:56 11/07/09 Sat Jesus above. HOW MANY TIME CAN YOU ALL HAVE THIS DEBATE??? This has been discussed about 15 times on this board, and no one ever seems to know her actual height. First of all...WHO CARES???
