Thanks to Chelsey Cooley Altman (Miss USA 2005) for working with Kiara Sherman, but believe me when I say that Chelsey Cooley placed in the top 10 at Miss Universe in 2005 for one reason only: SHE WAS MISS USA (the sash factor). If her sash had said "Miss Cayman Islands" or "Miss Denmark", I guarantee you that she would not have placed that year. Chelsey is among the "weakest" Miss USA's of this decade unlike Shandi Finnessey (USA '04), Crystal Stewart (USA '08),or Rachel Smith (USA '07) who were strong reps even before they were crowned Miss USA and who could have easily walked away with the Miss Universe crown during their respective years.
Anyway, I say all of the aforementioned to say that I am not the least bit impressed by Chelsey "coaching" Kiara, because Chelsey was not a "strong" Miss USA. Quite frankly, I seriously doubt that her tips would make that much difference for Kiara. Kiara really should seek coaching from any of the past Miss Trinidad & Tobagos from 2002 - 2006 or from former Miss Universe Wendy Fitzwilliam (especially since The Bahamas will not be a threat to Trinidad & Tobago as they will unfortunately not be sending a rep to compete at Miss Universe this year). Trinidad & Tobago is the only Caribbean country to have consistently place in the top 15 from 2003 to 2006. Danielle Jones (T & T '04) and/or Kenisha Thom (T&T '06) would be great coaches because these two Black beauties worked the Miss Universe stage to perfection during their respective years and as Black Caribbean women, they could better train a fellow Caribbean contestant. The "Black Caribbean" connection would do more for Kiara than for her trying to fit the mold of some White westernized Miss USA who barely placed in the top 10 at Miss Universe.
I'm sorry to sound negative, but I am a realist at heart. Nonetheless, I wish our Bahamas rep all the best. If I were Gaynell Rolle-Stubbs, I would try to get Kiara connected with either Wendy Fitzwilliam, Danielle Jones, or Kenisha Thom because August arrives.

I disagree 100 per cent Chelsey Cooley did not only place in the Top 10 beacuse she was Miss USA. (NT) -- Rubbish, Wednesday, July 08, 07:07:18am
Personaly I think Chelsey coaching Kiara is an excellent good thing. She really seems to have faith in Kiara and they are the same hieght which shows that girls of Kiara's hieght can make the Top 10. Allot of People's Issue's was Kiara's hieght. Chelsey knows the inside and outs of pageantry. She has competed in Miss Universe and she has even been a TV commentator for Miss Universe, So she knows what they look for at Miss Niverse and the backstage stuff. Just beacuse Kiara is Black does not mean she needs a Black girl coaching her, I rember when Chelsey when she was at MU describing Miss T & T as having won of the most beautiful faces in the pageant. Chelsey is good for Kiara and will give Kiara the help she needs and deserves. (NT) -- Go Kiara., Wednesday, July 08, 07:14:53am
Chelsey & Kiara make a good team. Kiara really looked good in her Photo's on Missology website. She gave a good Interview. I was not a supporter of Kiara in the begining but I am now. I see why Kiara won. (NT) -- Mitch, Wednesday, July 08, 01:40:59pm
Wasn't Chelsey Cooley the Miss USA delegate who kept bouncing her chubby self all over the Miss Universe stage during the swimsuit round in Thailand in 2005? Yikes! Well, I agree with this poster; she is not the best person to coach Kiara. I think Danielle Jones (Miss T & T 2004) would be more suitable. Gaynell mussie know her days are numbered, and so she bring dis girl to the Bahamas to make it seem like she giving Kiara the best coaching. Ha! -- XoXo, Wednesday, July 08, 06:47:15pm
