Good luck to her! (NT) -- No name, 11:20:51 10/29/09 Thu Alicia Clifton is Miss America in the making, a HS senior who needs some college time to get her ready for the full time job of Miss OK and then MA. (NT) -- fan, 19:42:44 11/02/09 Mon Alicia Clifton, Alicia Clifton, Alicia Clifton!!!!! (NT) -- WOW that girl blew me away!!!! What talent!!!!!!

(NT) -- No name, 11:16:20 10/29/09 Thu Hipps? needs some maturity - maybe a few more years (NT) -- No name, 14:10:26 11/03/09 Tue Well, since the OP didn't set a time limit I guess Mya has plenty of time before she wins the state title. She isn't even old enough this year to compete... (NT) -- No name, 16:08:23 11/03/09 Tue Mya's entire family left the auditorium when she didn't even make top ten at Miss NC this past summer. If the NC Board caught wind of that, she'll never be Miss NC. I heard she was doing USA at the end of the month though. (NT) -- No name, 11:13:57 11/04/09 Wed Uuummm, she gave up her title this past summer as OT so you obviously don't know what you're talking about!

(NT) -- ., 18:04:17 11/10/09 Tue SYDNEE STOTTLEMYRE-MISSOURI -- pageant fan, 12:48:47 10/29/09 Thu I love Sydnee!! She was a great Miss MO OT and was so young. Which means when she is finally able to do Miss, she'll be the one to beat. Go Sydnee!

(NT) -- No name, 18:44:21 11/02/09 Mon She only did her college pageant one time her freshman year and that has been it. She is a doll! (NT) -- No name, 23:02:04 11/02/09 Mon I think everyone is a bit tired of Sloane and her mother. (NT) -- No name, 17:55:28 11/03/09 Tue I LOVE Dorothy Shepherd. She is a beautiful young lady. She did a great job at MAOT until she got to the T'5 question and appeared quite stupid. with her answer and actions. She has the goods to do very well if she can fix this. I wish she would as she really has the potential.

(NT) -- No name, 23:31:21 11/02/09 Mon OH - Sarah Hider (NT) -- No name, 09:24:18 11/02/09 Mon She's going to have to work hard to ever be a Miss OH. Boring talent, out of shape, and doesn't speak that well. (NT) -- She's pretty though, 12:32:38 11/02/09 Mon Sophie Carter in Ohio. Was first runnerup last year, and people were shocked she didn't win! Ohio made a very poor choice last year (NT) -- No name, 17:36:35 11/02/09 Mon Sorry to say that I judged Sarah and she has an AMAZING interview so she just in fact speak really well!!!! (NT) -- ., 13:47:10 11/03/09 Tue Doesn't look like you're a good judge of speaking well, based on your writing. (NT) -- No name, 16:00:30 11/10/09 Tue NH- Meghan Lamontagne! I wasn't such a fan before I got to know her but am now confident she would make a great state titleholder. (NT) -- No name, 10:12:06 11/02/09 Mon This is Janine Mitchell's year - she has been working hard this year! (NT) -- No name, 10:31:06 11/02/09 Mon Janie is adorable but she hasn't done anything at states since she came to the Miss program. She needs a little more prep and maturing...... (NT) -- No name, 20:25:34 11/02/09 Mon Meghan has something special that will get her far.

(NT) -- :), 12:18:48 11/02/09 Mon I agree!! She's been 1st runnerup lately at some NJ locals. (NT) -- Good luck to her !, 15:38:38 11/02/09 Mon Meagan Lyman (NH), Shanon Folsom (ME) and Taylor Kinzler (MA) all competing at locals this year -they will all do well we had a great bunch of Northeast Girls last year!!! (NT) -- No name, 13:45:46 11/02/09 Mon agreed (NT) -- No name, 16:45:19 11/03/09 Tue Alabama - Jenna Bryant, Haley Ates and Meg McGuffin when she is old enough.

Can she re-appear on AI or did she make it too far? (NT) -- No name, 16:57:31 11/02/09 Mon She made it too far. If you make the final cut into the T12 (in her case T13), you cannot tryout for AI again. (NT) -- No name, 19:52:37 11/02/09 Mon OR - JoAnna Adkisson (NT) -- Fan, 16:06:51 11/02/09 Mon I don't see her as a Miss Oregon (NT) -- No name, 18:13:57 11/03/09 Tue me neither. nice when it counts, but not when she isn't in the limelight. totally lied on her application--said she was going to medical school. college freshman in dance now. (NT) -- No name, 09:58:12 11/07/09 Sat Seriously, have you never heard of a teen once in college change their major??? I would guess that a very high percentage of college bound students change there minds. JoAnna will be Miss Oregon someday; talented, pretty and passionate. (NT) -- OR Fan, 12:16:43 11/07/09 Sat that's a bunch of hooo-eeee. from medical school to dance. duh--which looks better on the pageant application? (NT) -- No name, 12:57:12 11/07/09 Sat agreed very rude at MAOT to the other girls when the spotlight was off - not genuine (NT) -- No name, 16:50:38 11/07/09 Sat and this years teen seems to have the same attitude as last years. I am not sure if this is characteristic of teens--maybe they just don't realize what a small world the pageant system is. (NT) -- No name, 00:03:08 11/08/09 Sun Jalee from HI (NT) -- No name, 16:22:06 11/02/09 Mon MD - truly any of the recent teens for the past 5 years would be awesome reps. (NT) -- Maryland Fan of Teens, 18:32:53 11/02/09 Mon Kasey would be the best bet..but I hope she holds out for Miss Maryland USA in a year or two...she def could be Miss Universe. (NT) -- No name, 18:41:22 11/07/09 Sat Georgia -- Lauren Edmunds -- No name, 18:52:09 11/02/09 Mon Lauren cannot dance. Kristen Springer would be a better bet but she can't speak. (NT) -- No name, 15:51:31 11/03/09 Tue That's why I picked Michaela Lackey...she is a fabulous dancer and can also speak very well - very consistent in all areas. (NT) -- No name, 16:19:55 11/03/09 Tue Lauren -- No name, 18:19:21 11/03/09 Tue Amanda Kozak couldn't dance either, but she made it all the way to 2nd runner-up to Miss America. Don't count Lauren out just yet. She has a lot to offer as a state titleholder besides an "okay" talent! (NT) -- No name, 18:21:12 11/03/09 Tue Oh, I agree! I also love Lauren, and will not count her out. In fact, I would be perfectly happy if she won Miss GA. I just wish she would change her dance from pointe to lyrical on flat. (NT) -- No name, 18:30:08 11/03/09 Tue OHIO - Allie Nance would be the most competitive former Teen to come back and do Miss. (NT) -- No name, 20:00:46 11/02/09 Mon Allie's too smart and talented for MA. She's a professional dancer.. Doesn't need MA (NT) -- No name, 20:37:01 11/02/09 Mon I went to MAOT with allie and we've kept in touch...she won't be back for Miss Ohio, but I hope lots of other 2005 girls make it back!

(NT) -- No name, 08:38:08 11/03/09 Tue Sorry, but Caroline Bright needs to have some dental work done, the teeth take away from her look (NT) -- VT'er, 09:28:42 11/03/09 Tue Why are you sorry? She'll have a great chance once she gets that little thing taken care of. (NT) -- No name, 14:10:02 11/03/09 Tue Tx. I would have all of the last 4, Megan,Kendall,Callie and Sydney. All beautiful, talented and sweet down to earth girls. (NT) -- No name, 08:42:44 11/03/09 Tue IN- Morgan Jackson!!!

(NT) -- No name, 09:46:38 11/03/09 Tue OH person the question was which former MOOT state queen do you want to see win the Miss state title. (NT) -- Is the question too hard for you?, 14:01:01 11/03/09 Tue They answered the question! Sarah Hider was last year's OT and she happens to already has a Miss crown. Best of luck to her! (NT) -- No name, 01:43:22 11/11/09 Wed Washington - Stefanie Range! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 18:21:55 11/03/09 Tue Is Stefanie old enough to compete at the Miss level yet? and I agree, she is great! (NT) -- No name, 13:14:34 11/07/09 Sat AZ-adrienne nurss. The Nurss girls rock! (NT) -- No name, 18:41:21 11/03/09 Tue Lexie Overholt is attending school in Miami. Hopefully she'll compete for Miss Florida in the years to come. (NT) -- No name, 21:58:23 11/03/09 Tue Colorado (New Mexico) Kelsey Johnston (NT) -- No name, 09:32:52 11/07/09 Sat nc ot -- No name (current miss nc ot would be great), 13:08:12 11/07/09 Sat Agree, Katherine Puryear (NT) -- No name, 00:44:12 11/08/09 Sun The only outstanding teen from Texas that I am salavating at the mouth to finally be old enough to win Miss Texas is Sydney Capello!!! That girl has future Miss America written all over her! She super talented and probably one of THE most gorgeous girls ever to compete in Orlando! I don't see any other Texas outstanding teen doing much other than possibly making top ten/five during their years of eligibility! -- IVANA B ASTAR, 16:42:01 11/07/09 Sat I AGREE!! I think Sydney is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, and I am DYING to see her compete as a Miss! I believe she JUST turned 16 not too long ago so Ivana, you and I have a pretty long wait! (NT) -- future Miss A!!, 18:29:05 11/07/09 Sat Mass - Cherise Leclerc! (NT) -- No name, 18:25:16 11/07/09 Sat Cherise should call it a day she has competed several times - just too short and talent is getting old. (NT) -- No name, 14:27:09 11/10/09 Tue Why don't you just call it a day- give your jealousy a rest ---it's really getting old. (NT) -- she must beat you every time, 03:35:06 11/11/09 Wed I think Cherise is lovely. I just think she needs to take a year away from pageants, have some fun, travel, do something different. She went right from OT into Miss and a little more experience outside the pageant world would do her some good. (NT) -- No name, 07:16:36 11/11/09 Wed CA-Crystal Lee! (NT) -- She has the total package., 16:25:39 11/08/09 Sun also loved Crystal Lee from CA - dont get the hype about Jasmine Alexis however??? (NT) -- No name, 14:50:14 11/10/09 Tue The question wasn't who do you get the hype about. It was which Teen do you want to see come back to claim the Miss title. Why can't you people make a single positive statement without criticizing something at the same time? (NT) -- Jasmine probably wouldn't get you either!, 16:21:36 11/10/09 Tue Love Jasmine! (NT) -- Cali Girl, 18:05:18 11/10/09 Tue MaryJane Hobgood--I can't wait to see how she does at Miss LA this summer! Love her : ) (NT) -- No name, 16:53:54 11/10/09 Tue I saw her compete at MAOT and thought she would win. And I am not from Louisiana and do not know her or her family. (NT) -- No name, 18:49:54 11/10/09 Tue Zero from WV... unless you count Jessica Schueler who was the 1st before their was an official National Pageant in 04...

Bess Meyerson (NT) -- No name, 20:31:02 11/09/09 Mon Another vote for Bess. She stood up to Lenora Slaughter, keeping her name instead of finding something that sounded "less Jewish." When the bookings dried up, she started the first "platform," addressing the issue of anti-semitism. "You can't hate and be beautiful" (or something like that) was her theme. (NT) -- No name, 22:28:15 11/09/09 Mon Oh yes, Bess Myerson. Twice convicted of shoplifting, marriage wrecker with her Mafia boyfriend, and put up on Federal charges of bribery, mail fraud and several others. (NT) -- No name, 08:18:14 11/10/09 Tue But Bess was a glamourous Miss America, and those people from the era loved her. If she later had problems, then I am sorry for her. (NT) -- No name, 12:02:57 11/10/09 Tue Bess and Vanessa Williams are two of the most recognizable former Miss Americas, whatever they have done since being Miss America. They are also two of the most historically significant. And the historical significance of Bess' selection as Miss America - the only (still the only) Jewish Miss America who was crowned at the end of World War II when the stories of the concentration camps were becoming even more known - cannot be underestimated. Add to the mix that she was the first scholarship recipient and one of the first college graduates to be named Miss America and you have an important icon in the history of Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 21:23:07 11/10/09 Tue Jackie Mayer's father was Jewish. She had nothing to do with being the first scholarship winner except that she entered so she can't take CREDIT for the scholarship and went to college for free. Yes, Hunter College was a free college in her day. Maybe an icon to you. (NT) -- No name, 22:14:39 11/10/09 Tue She was the first Jewish Miss America. (And it's your mother who makes you Jewish, not the father. Is Jackie Meyer's mother Jewish?) If she's not an icon to you, fine and dandy. But you can't, despite your opinion, change historical fact. (NT) -- No name, 22:35:05 11/10/09 Tue And you can't change that she has a record for shoplifting twice, or that even Ed Koch said that she "disgraced herself" with the Bess Mess involving her married Mafia lover. (NT) -- No name, 06:52:12 11/11/09 Wed Lenora didn't try to change her name, her advisors in local pageants before she ever won Miss America tried to convince her to change her name. (NT) -- No name, 13:18:40 11/10/09 Tue And she wasn't the first contestant or Miss America to be asked to change her name either. It just suited her cause to say that. (NT) -- No name, 13:33:23 11/10/09 Tue She never said she was the first. to be asked to change her name. (NT) -- No name, 21:27:50 11/10/09 Tue And she was the only one who said she was asked because her name was Jewish. On the PBS documentary, she said she was told it was due to show biz. But, her (paranoid?) interpretation was that it was because she was Jewish. (NT) -- Her own interpretation sure helped her over the years, huh?, 22:01:41 11/10/09 Tue I think one could call that "sins of omission". Maybe she never said she was the first asked, but it was implied by her constant reference to it along with her delivery. You can fool some of the people some of the time... (NT) -- No name, 22:16:29 11/10/09 Tue But she didn't fool you. How clever of you! How wise! I bet she thought she was clever but she wasn't clever enough for you. (NT) -- No name, 22:39:34 11/10/09 Tue Blow it out your.............. (NT) -- No name, 23:12:36 11/10/09 Tue Jean Bartel, the awarding of scholarships can be directly attributed to her.... (NT) -- NC Pageant Fan, 21:47:27 11/09/09 Mon Rosemary LaPlanche, because that was the last year a contestant was allowed to go to Miss America more than once. (NT) -- First Runner-up in 1940 & Won It All In 1941, 22:01:30 11/09/09 Mon excuse me but that is an absurd reason to glorify a winner. I'm with the poster above who used excellent logic for choosing Bess Myerson. I'm with him or her. (NT) -- No name, 23:14:20 11/09/09 Mon OOPS! I had forgotten about Bess's checkered past. (NT) -- No name, 11:30:31 11/10/09 Tue It is absurd to call her great because she was allowed to compete twice. Are you drunk or what? (NT) -- No name, 23:14:17 11/10/09 Tue Rosemary LaPlanche because as a pre teen I was always drawn to her photo in the Library's copy of Frank Deford there she is book. I also was drawn to Yolande Betbeze and Maria Fletcher's photos too. (NT) -- IHP, 07:47:31 11/10/09 Tue Bess Myerson and Jean Bartel without question. Two of the greatest in history. (NT) -- No name, 08:50:11 11/10/09 Tue whatever happened to Bess? She seemed to just disappear from sight after the whole "Bess Mess". She would have to be in her mid-80's now. Is she still rattling around? In her day and for a long time afterward (perhaps now) she shore was purty! (NT) -- No Name, 12:50:45 11/10/09 Tue She lives in south Florida and records public service announcements about ovarion cancer. In 1980 she narrowly lost to Holtzman for US Senate and later declared she was too tall and pretty to be a US Senator. She was acquitted of all charges in the "Bess Mess". (NT) -- No name, 13:16:31 11/10/09 Tue Bess was one of the most beautiful Miss America's we've ever had. But regarding the alledged name change to sound less Jewish, I don't think Myerson even sounds Jewish. It's not like Silverstein or something. It is a shame that back in the 40's with the Jewish people losing half of their world population, that there was so much antisemitism right here in the United States. (NT) -- No name, 14:04:57 11/10/09 Tue How would they have known that Bessie Myerson from the projects was Miss America if she had changed her name? (NT) -- No name, 15:55:10 11/10/09 Tue Just what do you mean by "projects"? and referring to her as "Bessie" Sounds pretty snarky to me. (NT) -- No name, 17:19:50 11/10/09 Tue I'm not sure the poster was correct in saying Bess Myerson grew up in the projects (I don't think she did), but she was called Bessie by family and friends. (NT) -- No name, 17:50:51 11/10/09 Tue I think the "projects" the poster was referring to were actual housing projects in New York that had a fairly large Jewish population. I don't think the word had quite the connotation that it does now. I actually remember reading a book about Calvin Klein and he was also raised in one of these developments. (NT) -- No name, 19:22:20 11/10/09 Tue In the American Experience documentary on Miss America, Bess Myerson refers to herself as Bessie Myerson and the projects were indeed the housing projects the poster describes, nothing to do with today's definition of projects. (NT) -- No name, 21:12:52 11/10/09 Tue She lived in the Sholom Aleichem Cooperatives. Today, they're called Co-ops. It wasn't the slums. (NT) -- No name, 22:18:42 11/10/09 Tue bess said it herself. She was from the projects and she said that if she changed her name no one who knew her parents or her would know of her accomplishment. That is the people from the projects. (NT) -- No name, 23:09:33 11/10/09 Tue IHP, I remember the Frank Deford book and Rosemary had the same effect on me. And to "No Name", had she not returned as a first runner up and won, maybe the Miss America Pageant would not have implemented the one trip to Atlantic City (nationals) rule. To paraphrase Frank Deford's book: When it comes to some of the rules, MAO has been more reactive than proactive. (NT) -- No name, 18:28:36 11/10/09 Tue Everyone who complains on this board about pageant patties competing over and over and over again should fall to their knees and praise Rosemary LaPlanche. Can you imagine what it would be like if contestants could compete more than once at Nationals? (NT) -- No name, 21:14:22 11/10/09 Tue Competing twice and winning at age 17 is a lot different than competing five, six, or seven times at 24. (NT) -- A world of difference., 22:05:11 11/10/09 Tue The fact remains that her victory, at whatever age, was the last time any contestant could compete more than once on the national level. They changed the rule because of her experience. Her age was irrelevant. But, because of her experience, the rules were changed and patties, of whatever age or era, can't keeping running back to national over and over until they win the title.

Author: No name [Edit]	Date Posted: 21:46:41 10/30/09 Fri Traveling to Tulsa on Sunday. Will be there for 2 weeks - mostly in the Jenks area. Could anyone recommend a couple of nice restaurants and a bbq restaurant? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Polo Grill (NT) -- No name, 22:02:22 10/30/09 Fri bbq=elmers for some lite meals stick to brookside, sonoma, in the raw, brook, bbd . always work midtown and stay far far away from the south of tulsa (NT) -- No name, 22:45:32 10/30/09 Fri Stay out of South Tulsa and you will be fine (pretty much just chain restaurants). Anything in Utica Square, on Cherry Street or Brookside and you will be fine! My favorite is Stonehorse Cafe in Utica Square. Leon's on Brookside for something casual. Tucci's on Cherry Street, Italian and fabulous! I think the best bbq is Albert G's but it's in a converted service station, so I'm not sure how you would feel about that! (NT) -- No name, 01:13:19 10/31/09 Sat Highly recommend Tucci's for Italian. Wild Fork at Utica Square is also good. (NT) -- No name, 19:44:24 10/31/09 Sat Tucci's is mediocre at best especially when Mary is right across the street and Caio on brookside. (NT) -- No name, 19:51:44 10/31/09 Sat It's a matter of taste. LOVE Tuccis. (NT) -- No name, 20:11:04 10/31/09 Sat Also a Tucci Fan... do not care for Ciao! (NT) -- No name, 06:54:00 11/04/09 Wed dos eat house on 15th ( A.K.A. Cherry Street) (NT) -- I'm not a critic ,but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, 05:57:48 11/04/09 Wed Since you are in the Jenks area.. and the others are mentioning areas that are at least 30 minutes away (although I agree they are far superior!) Anything on the Riverwalk. South Tulsa is just a mad house and traffic. The Brook has a sister restaurant at 91st & Memorial (I think it is 91st..) Albert G's has AWESOME BBQ. It is just of the Broken Arrow Expressway on Harvard between 21st & 31st You can take Harvard all the way north to it. The BEST mexican is Senior Tequila on Brookside.. oh and BBD for breakfast (also on brookside!) (NT) -- Tulsa can be SO much fun! Do hit Cherry Street, Brookside & Utica!, 06:52:48 11/04/09 Wed mahogany's, several restaurants in the brookside area, of course chains like PF Chan's and Cheescake Factory (NT) -- anon, 08:28:52 11/04/09 Wed Warning: Mahogany's is FAB but extremely expensive! Last time we were there it averaged at about $100 per person (NT) -- Don't want you to be surprised., 10:43:25 11/04/09 Wed Los Cabos on the Riverwalk in Jenks is great. If you like Sushi, In the Raw or Fuji are wonderful. (NT) -- No name, 11:29:29 11/04/09 Wed Curious to know what you are doing in Tulsa/Jenks for 2 weeks? Whatever it might be, we are glad you're here. (NT) -- Miss Curious, 11:51:25 11/04/09 Wed you MUST go to breakfast/brunch at BBD. Complete Yum-O! I live in Norman and we'll drive up a few times a month just to spend the day and BBD is always a part of it (NT) -- Their omlettes are to die!, 12:54:22 11/04/09 Wed Red Rock Canyon Grill is great! Just off of the Creek Turnpike right there by Jenks. The house salad is great (the dressing is the best part) and their chicken is slow cooked over a wood fire...its the best chicken I've had. (NT) -- For dessert, the Something Chocolate :), 13:19:26 11/04/09 Wed Try the perfect margarita, it's the BEST. And they have the most BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED bar tender in the world there. I would know, she's my kid :) (NT) -- No name, 13:37:59 11/04/09 Wed love it, love when proud mom's get to say something positive on this board!

(NT) -- No name, 22:23:13 11/05/09 Thu Call Brinkley and see if you can find out who the judges are besides Rush. (NT) -- Inquiring minds want to know, 22:48:08 11/05/09 Thu Gina and Guiseppis- I prob butchered that spelling but it's at Riverwalk in Jenks Aquarium area. Best Italian! We drive there every few months from OKC to eat there. Red Rock is right by there too eat the mashed potatoes. (NT) -- amazing, 02:41:13 11/06/09 Fri Went here & loved it (NT) -- No name, 11:40:23 11/06/09 Fri I live in tulsa and I concur on all these choices! (NT) -- you have to try wild fork at utica square. my fav!!, 14:06:23 11/06/09 Fri Thanks for all the suggestions. Have 4 more days here and the weather has been perfect. So far, I have taken my parties to Polo Grill, Elmers, Tuccis, Mahoganys, Los Cabos, Red Rock Canyon Grill, and Gina and Giuseppe's. (As well as the usuals - Outback and PF Changs). What wonderful, unique restaurants Tulsa has to offer. Looking forward to returning to some of these this week and also dining at some of the others. (NT) -- No name, 13:23:07 11/09/09 Mon Someone said there is a restaurant here that features South African lobster tails. Does anyone know the name of the restaurant? (NT) -- No name, 14:42:26 11/09/09 Mon Michael Fusco's Riverside Grill (NT) -- No name, 15:19:52 11/09/09 Mon you should also try The Brasserie on brookside and Yokosuma downtown. (NT) -- No name, 15:57:44 11/09/09 Mon When you get tired of nice restaurants and just want a quick burger go to Ron's. Great burgers! Get the bacon cheeseburger the bacon is crumbly its so good and an order of fries feeds three people. (NT) -- Grants its not NICE but good., 17:08:17 11/09/09 Mon Got the cheeseburger one day right at Rays on Main St. of Jenks. (Jenks has such a lovely downtown area, very pretty with the Cristmas lights) (NT) -- No name, 23:30:27 11/10/09 Tue

Don't know nuffin' bout it, but you've got our attention! (NT) -- Anyone????????, 16:10:46 11/06/09 Fri MAO could solve a lot of its money woes by eliminating some of the "fat" at the top of the food chain...you know what I mean. Also, if the pageant moves back to Atlantic City or whereever, or stays in Vegas for that matter, have one office in that city with all staff--Miss America and Outstanding Teen--in that location. Spreading it all over (pageant in Vegas, offices in New Jersey and Florida) is a luxury MAO can ill afford. (NT) -- No name, 18:13:34 11/06/09 Fri Actually she sang the national anthem at the Tampa Bay Lightning game against the Ottawa Senators just last week and signed autographs during intermission.... (NT) -- not sure what else she's done, but it's something, plus don't forget she's VERY young, 18:21:16 11/06/09 Fri Very true--I hope MAOT doesn't have to leave school for a year like Miss America. Can you imagine dropping out of high school for the year? (NT) -- No name, 18:24:40 11/06/09 Fri I would be surprised if the OT office was a full time office, I think they only have p/t employees. (NT) -- No name, 18:26:56 11/06/09 Fri That may be true, but rent, insurance and upkeep on the office would be the same whether its open fulltime or parttime. TRIM THE FAT! (NT) -- No name, 18:33:51 11/06/09 Fri I do not think the office closed. (NT) -- No name, 21:13:00 11/06/09 Fri As a lifelong fan I feel as if I am hanging on to a dream. YES. Miss America is dying. She has been dyine a slow death since leaving Atlantic City. This is so sad to watch that I wish then had had the good sense to end the padgeant on a good not rather that draging the old girl to the tackiness if Las Vegas and trying to pump air into her. I HATE what has happened and I wish some of youi would stop pretending that all is okay and realize that we are all mourning the death of something that we loved. (NT) -- No name, 21:28:53 11/06/09 Fri Very true. MAOT will go first and I predict Miss America won't make 100. (NT) -- No name, 21:31:19 11/06/09 Fri I'm sorry for the typos is the above text but I'm emotinal and I think that you can understand my message. (NT) -- No name, 21:32:03 11/06/09 Fri It's been dying a lot longer than Vegas. It's been dying since the late '70s, as the contestants got older and more programmed, Vanessa broke the illusion, the platforms made her represent some disease instead of the nation....oh well. (NT) -- No name, 21:42:44 11/06/09 Fri You (NT) -- No name, 21:52:03 11/06/09 Fri You're right. Vanessa broke the ideal of Miss America as a white woman in our racist country but I don't think that adding a platform (which you think of as a disease) did as much damage to the program as you seem to think. Or did I misunderstand you? (NT) -- No name, 21:56:41 11/06/09 Fri Sadly racism is alive and well in America. However, I wasn't speaking of her race, but rather her breaking the illusion of Miss America with her photographs. So you did misunderstand me. But, not with the platform. It was a certain nail in the coffin. (NT) -- No name, 22:28:24 11/06/09 Fri I agree MAO & MAOT are dying. Locals are folding across the nation. The economy might be the final undoing of this organization! Maybe all states should be open & have the option for local pageants. (NT) -- Just an idea!, 14:41:15 11/10/09 Tue Instead of being negative and just letting the program die we should all stay positive and work to keep it alive through recruiting and good publicity. (NT) -- No name, 20:53:39 11/10/09 Tue There or not, its not like you can get any answers from Nationals. They haven't updated the state and local paperwork on the website since 2008. I have a local teen pageant and I just kind of do what I want each year because I get no answers! (NT) -- No name, 15:00:41 11/10/09 Tue Very interesting. (NT) -- No name, 15:53:35 11/10/09 Tue

They will proudly say that their background is mostly from Spain that from the Phillipines... Sad, but it is just a cultural thing. They are very proud of their Spanish heritage. As a matter of fact, parents will use Spanish names on their kids so they can succeed in the Phillipines... On that same note, look for Pinoy artists, the only thing in common is their Spanish name... (NT) -- Someone with Pinoy parents!, 14:04:52 11/10/09 Tue Nope, there has not been. I beleive a couple of years ago, a latina came as 2nd runner up... On the other hand, there has been Jewish, African-American, and Asia-Pacific girls that have won the crown. Maybe by having a Miss Puerto Rico, we could see a hispanic girl competing every year.... The same way we have almost guaranteed that were going to have an AP from Hawaii or an Af-Am from VI...

Debbie Bryant (NT) -- No name, 17:09:46 11/09/09 Mon Coming from North Carolina, you know I have to go with Maria Fletcher. I also like Debbie Bryant just because she was breathtakingly beautiful when she won, and I've always been fond of Judi Ford because she was so different from the others. Ah, the 60s were marvelous. (NT) -- No name, 17:31:20 11/09/09 Mon Judi Ford because she showed a Miss America could still sweat and then become Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 17:33:02 11/09/09 Mon I might not have been born in this decade, but if I had to choose, it would be a tie between Lynda Lee Mead and Debra Dene Barnes. (NT) -- No name, 17:38:09 11/09/09 Mon Vonda Kay Van Dyke! (NT) -- No name, 22:26:42 11/09/09 Mon Vonda Kay was annoying with her goody two shoes thing. (NT) -- No name, 09:27:58 11/10/09 Tue I give runner-up honors to Maria and Debbie Bryant, but have to say the greatest was Judi Ford.....she won in a year of incredible beauties, defied her state officials by refusing to dye her hair, and eventually served on the President's council for physical fitness.....

i like PA's website because they really are on the ball with keeping it updated (NT) -- PA pageant gal, 21:30:46 11/08/09 Sun Wish their local sites were as good as the state site! (NT) -- No name, 13:26:38 11/09/09 Mon Virginia's website is wonderful! (NT) -- :-), 21:39:30 11/08/09 Sun you must be kidding...maybe if it were 1996. (NT) -- No name, 23:23:19 11/08/09 Sun I agree it's great -- always updated, & I appreciate it. (NT) -- great job VA webmaster, 16:28:14 11/09/09 Mon CT and KY are organized very well and stay current with titleholder appearances. (NT) -- No name, 21:55:20 11/08/09 Sun AZ has an excellent website that is continuously updated. (NT) -- No name, 21:55:45 11/08/09 Sun too gray...horribly cold site. looks like miss arizona is a steel factory (NT) -- No name, 23:25:00 11/08/09 Sun Yes, but aside from the color, the website is constantly updated, easy to navigate, highlights the work of Miss AZ and has cool features (NT) -- Used to be pink I think, and they moved to a more subdued design. I respectfully disagree with the steel-factory comment., 01:51:51 11/09/09 Mon Miss AZ has a great web-site. I don't even understand the steel-factory comment. (NT) -- No name, 13:41:08 11/09/09 Mon I like AZ's website. I also like steel factories. Come to think of it my living room looks a lot like a steel factory....all chrome and glass and hi-tech....whatever, I digress. Anyway I like their "Alumni" section. The section featuring the former winners is always my favorite part of any pageant website. I see these photos of winners from past years and it reminds me of when I was a kid pouring over these old program books when I first got interested in pageants. (NT) -- No name, 16:15:53 11/09/09 Mon I like MO website. Good pictures provided. (NT) -- No name, 21:56:34 11/08/09 Sun Thanks keep em coming (NT) -- No name, 23:05:23 11/08/09 Sun MA is another very well organized website. The webmaster does a great job. (NT) -- No name, 23:09:02 11/08/09 Sun NJ - Hands down (NT) -- No name, 23:26:02 11/08/09 Sun NC has improved their site and have a great slide show including top 5 random pics from the competition this year. I do wish they would have retained the standings a little longer. (NT) -- No name, 23:31:59 11/08/09 Sun AGREE! they keep updates on NJ pageant news as well as photos & blogs for both the miss and teen. (NT) -- it took a while, but NJ finally figured it out., 23:56:58 11/08/09 Sun whoops, meant to post that under the NJ comment, (NT) -- sorry!!!, 23:57:28 11/08/09 Sun Forgiven ! (NT) -- No name, 17:42:03 11/09/09 Mon IL--its updated every week and has LOTS of photos of the Miss and some of the Teen and Pre-Teen. (NT) -- No name, 08:24:27 11/09/09 Mon Agree, Illinois or DC. (NT) -- No name, 17:59:51 11/09/09 Mon Illinois needs to check for spelling errors and add important missing information. (NT) -- No name, 12:59:46 11/09/09 Mon KS has a good, informative website. (NT) -- No name, 13:41:58 11/09/09 Mon Colorado-great (NT) -- No name, 13:44:57 11/09/09 Mon disagree. Hardly any pictures, NO information for girls who are interested and no mention of Stacey, the teen winner anywhere. I hope they get someone to fix it up! They could have many more new girls participate if information was easier to find... (NT) -- muah, 14:04:26 11/09/09 Mon* OK's new site is up and running. (NT) -- missoklahoma.org, 14:11:10 11/09/09 Mon CT has NOT kept their web site up to date. All summer, they had LAST year's local pageant dates. -- No name, 16:24:47 11/09/09 Mon TN--love how they list the top 5 over the decades so you can trace a contestant's progress and record when she competed. Love the pageant history and wish my state did that. (NT) -- No name, 18:04:05 11/09/09 Mon There are no photos of Miss TN on the TN site, so I would not call it a good website at all. (NT) -- No name, 20:34:20 11/09/09 Mon Nebraska (NT) -- No name, 18:48:25 11/09/09 Mon Love Darrell! (NT) -- No name, 18:58:42 11/09/09 Mon Colorado is great. Go to the photo gallery page or look at the newsletter that is on there for photos. (NT) -- No name, 19:48:23 11/09/09 Mon Texas is doing a great job! Lots of pictures, current information, blog, history--it's all there! (NT) -- No name, 22:26:26 11/09/09 Mon Miss Iowa's website is really starting to look good and be very informative. (NT) -- No name, 09:52:37 11/10/09 Tue

"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor (NT) -- No name, 23:12:41 11/09/09 Mon "Going Back to Indiana...."....not that I do not like her but it could be a whimsical thing.... (NT) -- No name, 23:16:36 11/09/09 Mon Huh??? Unless you're referring to the preliminaries, we haven't heard an outgoing Miss America perform sinceShawntel Smith. You must be forgetting that the Miss America people don't know how to stage a "real" pageant anymore. (NT) -- Wi fan, 23:24:02 11/09/09 Mon You can say that again! (NT) -- No name, 23:27:56 11/09/09 Mon Kirsten sang in January. What are you talking about. Don't want to hear Katie sing. Sorry. (NT) -- No name, 05:01:14 11/10/09 Tue Well, you must be talking about the preliminaries then, because Kirsten didn't sing during the Miss America telecast that I watched. Please tell what song she sang. (NT) -- No name, 07:49:35 11/10/09 Tue I wouldn't want either of them to sing! (NT) -- No name, 09:21:09 11/10/09 Tue None (NT) -- No name, 23:53:52 11/09/09 Mon Good lord NO NO NO. I have become resigned to the fact that talent no longer matters however, with that comes the fact that I do not want to hear them either (NT) -- No name, 23:58:37 11/09/09 Mon Indiana Wants Me (NT) -- No name, 07:51:10 11/10/09 Tue
