Quite a few really gorgeous contestants! Wow! By the way, every time I see Miss Texas USA, I think of Shandi Finnessey. Any one else see it? Or am I just nuts... (NT) -- Miss Princess, 23:07:50 11/01/09 Sun Utah Looks Like "Betheny" on Real Housewives of NYC. (NT) -- I agree that Texas looks like Shandi -- it's almost disctracting., 08:22:11 11/02/09 Mon But Alaska hasn't been crowned... (NT) -- whoo, 23:17:19 11/01/09 Sun I love Alabama!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her crowning picture is GORGEOUS. Colorado also looks beautiful, and that is a great new picture of Montana!!! (NT) -- daffodil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111, 23:45:53 11/01/09 Sun I don’t believe that is Audrey Moore. The girl pictured for Alabama looks like Courtney Parker, Alabama Teen 2008. (NT) -- nbiap, 06:51:26 11/02/09 Mon With about 1/2 the delegates crowned, I see 2 trends: Youth and Diversity. There are numerous winners who are under 21 that could have competed this year at MTUSA. Montana’s pic is a huge improvement and Idaho is much prettier then the one here. As for Ohio, bless her heart…… (NT) -- GMAN, 07:00:29 11/02/09 Mon I think Ohio might actually be quite stunning...hard to tell, of course, but it looks like her "raw materials" (skin and features) are great! The Medusa look, however...ouch (NT) -- Miss Princess, 17:19:04 11/02/09 Mon HELLO Miss Alaska!!! Where did she come from?! (NT) -- old school fan, 08:23:10 11/02/09 Mon There is some debate as to whether or not she is actually Miss Alaska. Missosology reports her as being crowned (and lists her at 6 ft. tall), but some have questioned whether the pageant actually took place on Oct. 17 as originally scheduled. (NT) -- Meemaw, 09:46:26 11/02/09 Mon Does anyone have another picture of MD? I know she was just won...maybe the crowning photo? (NT) -- MVD, 10:20:35 11/02/09 Mon Been searching like a maniac all day and haven't found a thing yet. I promise to post one as soon as I can! (NT) -- MissMerlin, 13:23:55 11/02/09 Mon McNeill has one that she took with her but in that photo, McNeill looks more like the woman who should be wearing the crown. <Meow> (NT) -- Marylander, 09:31:41 11/03/09 Tue Merlin, crowning shots of the Miss and Teen now appear on the Home page of the Miss Maryland USA website. (NT) -- Marylander, 20:46:46 11/03/09 Tue Miss Alaska USA 2010 Pageant is on 11/21/09 (NT) -- --, 13:02:32 11/02/09 Mon Me too Miss Merlin! I can't find a single one! Honestly, I was a bit shal we say 'glum' about this girls future @ miss usa...but I know that some pictures just don't do us justice! I wanted a second look before I decide how I feel about her!! (NT) -- MVD, 14:05:53 11/02/09 Mon Well, I was at the pageant and all I can say is that I hope she packs plenty of hand lotion for Vegas so that her hands don't get chafed from all of the clapping she'll be doing at Miss USA. (NT) -- Marylander, 20:49:03 11/03/09 Tue The first girl is Alabama Teen 2008 Courtney Parker (NT) -- 2008 Girl, 14:28:43 11/02/09 Mon South Dakota has better new photos, those were used for MAO contest a few years ago (NT) -- whimsey, 15:24:44 11/02/09 Mon Does Miss Utah remind anyone of Bethany from the Real Housewives of NY?? (NT) -- MVD, 16:27:46 11/02/09 Mon Miss Washington is going to end up being my girl crush just like Kimberly Gittings was. Nice apples Miss Washington ;) (NT) -- Bloo, 16:29:28 11/02/09 Mon From these 25, I would have to list Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, Tennesse, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming as my favorites. Just sayin.... =) (NT) -- I Love WA!, 17:14:06 11/02/09 Mon YES: Alabama, Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont. GOOD CHANCE OF YES: Idaho, Michigan, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Wyoming. BEST IN SWIMSUIT: Rhode Island!! (NT) -- BamaMan, 07:19:53 11/03/09 Tue YES: Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont. That's it for me. I'm ready to chalk up 2010 as one of those weird years we get in pageants once or twice per decade. Neither the Miss America nor Miss USA field of delegates seems very competitive to me. (NT) -- Meemaw, 08:55:44 11/03/09 Tue Very true but I am still at least excited that the Miss USA delegate lineup is shaping up to look more like America in 2010 than the Miss America lineup does. (NT) -- Marylander, 10:40:47 11/03/09 Tue Love Miss New Jersey! (NT) -- Wayne, 22:34:55 11/03/09 Tue

I have a feeling that Miss TN Tucker Perry is going to be Miss USA 2010 (NT) -- TN would have both the USA & Teen titles at once, 21:57:58 10/30/09 Fri Wasn't Barbara Petersen from Minnesota? (NT) -- Qban, 22:04:22 10/30/09 Fri She surely was, 1976....... (NT) -- NC Pageant Fan, 22:25:37 10/30/09 Fri Yes, Minnesota did win Miss USA 1976. (NT) -- a pageant fan, 10:17:26 10/31/09 Sat Why did I think that Oklahoma had won the Miss USA crown. I know that they've had a teen USA winner, but didn't someone win it back in the 60's or 70's? They've had alot of runner ups in hte past. (NT) -- TXPAGEANTGUY, 23:51:17 10/30/09 Fri OK has not won Miss USA. Technically speaking both Arizona & Florida have HAD Miss USA's, but they didn't win outright..they were runners-up who took over the title of Mis USA. (NT) -- Tiki Java, 05:08:32 10/31/09 Sat I believe we've forgotten about Brandi Sherwood, Miss USA 1997. She might as well not have won outright, but she's still a Miss USA, just as others who have ascended the thrown when the winner was not able to complete her duties as Miss USA, including becoming Miss Universe. (NT) -- Desiree, 05:27:59 10/31/09 Sat Florida (Miss USA 1967), Arizona (Miss USA 1980) and Idaho (Miss USA 1997) were 1st runner-up to Miss USA. These 3 states have never won Miss USA outright. Miss Florida USA 1987, Cloe Cabrera should have won Miss USA 1987. (NT) -- a pageant fan, 10:33:59 10/31/09 Sat Florida was 2nd runner-up not the first runner-up. THe first runner-up from California declined the crown (NT) -- :), 20:52:32 11/02/09 Mon It seems really strange to see Georgia on this list as many years as they are a runner up you'd think they would have won by now. (NT) -- KDK, 14:48:15 10/31/09 Sat I very much agree with you on that one, KDK. I've also always been interested in the fact that Mississippi has done so well at Miss America, but at Miss USA.....hardly anything! And when a girl from Mississippi finally DID win the Miss USA crown, she was wearing a sash that said District of Columbia! (NT) -- Indy, 16:42:19 10/31/09 Sat Georgia and Oklahoma both! I blame Georgia's failure on their consistently ugly dresses, and Oklahoma's on their consistently pretty birdbrains. (NT) -- Meemaw, 20:30:47 10/31/09 Sat Witty, my friend! But I have to defend my "peeps." Miss OK USA 2009 Lauren Lunday is in Dental School. She must have gotten in on her own because I don't think Affirmative Action covers "birdbrains." That is, unless there is a new little box to check that HR needs to know about. We'll take the PRETTY, though. Love you anyway! (NT) -- Jerry Giordano, 23:15:00 10/31/09 Sat I'm sure Meemaw is primarily thinking of Lindsay Hill, Laci Scott, and Lindsay Jo Harrington, all three of whom were arguably the most beautiful girls competing during their years. I'm not sure how Laci missed the Top 5, but obviously the two Lindsays were in contention to win it all until they opened their mouths during interview. (NT) -- BamaMan, 06:59:49 11/01/09 Sun Sadly, I don't think that Lindsay Jo Harrington's hair decision for Evening Wear helped her cause much either. It looked a mess! (NT) -- Marylander, 08:51:47 11/01/09 Sun I know. I was just "messing with meemaw." I get very few chances. She and I tend to think alike. (NT) -- Jerry Giordano, 09:57:38 11/01/09 Sun I just KNOW you aren't referring to my goddess, Jill Schiffert!! (NT) -- Indy (waiting for OSF to start hissing), 10:26:10 11/01/09 Sun A special, Sunday afternoon hangover HISS. (NT) -- old school fan, 11:33:33 11/01/09 Sun Indy, surely you jest??? And Tara Dawn Holland too??? (NT) -- NC Pageant Fan, 18:51:16 11/01/09 Sun Nope, no jesting here! (And Nichole Holmes, too!) Risking eternal disdain and overwhelming ridicule from Meemaw and OSF, I shall not budge in my loyalty to my big-haired, big-toothed, over-the-top pageant ladies! (NT) -- Indy (Defiant, lol), 18:58:27 11/01/09 Sun Talladega Trailer Trash!!!! (NT) -- BamaMan, 20:15:31 11/01/09 Sun Add Sophia Henderson to that list from 1985.....more stunning than Laura Herring ever dared to be and fell completely apart during interview.... (NT) -- NC Pageant Fan, 18:52:27 11/01/09 Sun Barker: Do you have a boyfriend? Sophia: Umm...hehehe. Barker: The hell? Sophia: Um. Associates. Barker: You have more than one boyfriend? Sophia: Hehehehehe! She is one of the 25 best faces in the history of Miss USA, but would have been better off just responding "No English." during interview. (NT) -- old school fan, 20:08:28 11/01/09 Sun Oh and I forgot my best Sophia-ism: "I was in the Ebony Fashion Fair and appeared in 176 cities my first year, and 183 cities my second year." Barker: So, over 400 cities in two years? Sophia: Yes! Um....LOL!!!! Call me, Sophia...if you can recognize the numbers! (NT) -- old school fan, 20:16:59 11/01/09 Sun Combine Sophia's looks and Chloe Cabrera's interview and it would have been Debra Carthy WHO?? (NT) -- NC Pageant Fan, 20:43:31 11/03/09 Tue Heck, based on that whole Leona Gage snafu, I almost feel like Maryland belongs on this list, too. (NT) -- Marylander, 11:14:28 11/01/09 Sun Good point. MD should really be on this list because the one & only time MD won, she wasn't eligable to be competing. (NT) -- Tiki Java, 05:03:53 11/02/09 Mon Yeah, and the curse resulting from her transgression continues. Demonic married with children Leona Gage, I rebuke you! (NT) -- Marylander, 10:45:11 11/03/09 Tue How about we just put Maryland back on the list of "never having had a Miss USA" because it's true. And then we can stop demonizing Leona, even in jest.

Subject: GOOD LUCK, NC GAL!
Author: Meemaw [Edit]	Date Posted: 11:04:41 11/02/09 Mon In what movie did the Countess de Lave say "Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!"? What product did Spencer Silver and Arthur Fry invent from a failed adhesive they stuck to a note? Which President also owned the country's largest whiskey distillery? NC Gal leaves for New York this week to compete on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" to be taped on Friday!! It's been a long, grueling process that included three auditions, a lengthy personal interview, swimsuit and talent competition, and she had to take her top off just to be considered as a contestant. She finally got the call last month, and it all comes to a head this week when she sits under the descending blue spotlights and utters those famous two words, "Final Answer!" NC Gal previously competed on "The Weakest Link" and WON, so she obviously has what it takes to do well on this show, too. The woman is a fountain of useless information, and it finally pays off this Friday! GOOD LUCK, NC GAL! Beefcake! BEEFCAKE!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I am still stunned that some outside of Texas (I'm looking at you, Miss Shanna!) found Kelsey unremarkable. I think she's incredible, and the fact that she holds her own here with Crystle is all the proof anyone needs! I have never seen a newcomer come in and take Texas by storm the way Kelsey did, and I have a feeling she'll do the same at Miss USA. She's not even remotely exotic, doesn't ooze sensuality, and she probably won't win our Face of Miss USA contest. But she has an intangible quality, combined with a body that is wonderfully proportional to her height (a rarity in girls that tall), that makes her stand out as something special. To me she defines the term fresh faced beauty! (NT) -- Meemaw, 17:34:47 11/01/09 Sun Agree, LOVE her look! (NT) -- !, 20:25:56 11/01/09 Sun I agree Meemaw! Fresh faced and not pageant patty like tx. usually kicks out. (NT) -- pageant fly, 07:34:21 11/02/09 Mon I agree Bama – Her crowning reminded me so much of when Shiloh Phillips was crowned Miss Texas: someone completely out of left field who I think also won on her first attempt and proved Texas could and would crown a newcomer if they had the goods. I also knew Shiloh would be an instant favorite at Miss America. I feel the same with Kelsey – Not what you would expect from Texas based on past winners but so unique and different that she stood out. Kelsey’s athletic and proportional body will hopefully make me forget the nightmare that was Endia Abrante and prove once and for all that athleticism doesn’t equate with masculinity in SS…… (NT) -- GMAN, 07:27:44 11/02/09 Mon Thank you GMAN for saying what I've been feeling for years. As the mother of two very athletic ladies, athleticism DOESN'T equate with masculinity! However, the other ladies should be forwarned, because of Kelsey's athletic training and her accomplishments, she is one very competitive person and I am sure somewhat of a perfectionist so I would imagine she is planning and staging every move she makes just like she would if she were playing in the Big 12 championship! I am thrilled with Texas this year and coming from a family of people from OU, I probably won't be saying that too often! (NT) -- Bloo, 16:52:37 11/02/09 Mon Disowned if you ever say that again Bloo...I let it slide (NT) -- DD, 16:58:40 11/02/09 Mon If it helps, Kelsey goes to UTEP, a Conference USA school.

(NT) -- Brynn, 19:30:38 10/22/09 Thu Strohmier has always been my pick for as long as I can remember. This hairstyle she's sporting in this headshot fits her like a T. Last year it was a disaster. Not really bad but ruined her overall appearance. LAY OFF THE TANING BED! (NT) -- Edgyeiji, 16:45:42 10/22/09 Thu Great choices. Ashley, Stephanie, and Elizabeth are my top 3. (NT) -- KDK, 17:53:19 10/22/09 Thu Danielle and Elizabeth are both striking. Danielle because she is about 6'2" or more tall as well as very beautiful in person. (NT) -- dessertdeb, 21:06:43 10/22/09 Thu I think MO would be wise to pick Bounds due to height. The tall girls are ruling in other states. (NT) -- GO MO!!, 16:14:32 10/24/09 Sat Thats silly to say just pick a girl because of her height. (NT) -- How about pick a girl because of her beauty?, 17:23:52 10/24/09 Sat actually should have mentioned she is pretty (NT) -- also, 21:18:13 10/24/09 Sat And those girls are way too tall. Their bodies look deformed. Too much of anything is too much. (NT) -- not normal, 12:54:32 10/25/09 Sun I'm sorry, but are you seriously saying that a girl that is over 6' tall is "too much"? what is she supposed to do about it? If you don't like their particular look as much, that's fine, but your post seems really rude to me. I'm not 6', but I'm not far from it, and I'm perfectly happy with my body, thank you very much. What about girls that are really short? are they "not enough"? should we only have contestants who are perfectly average height, weight and hair color, so everyone is "normal"? (NT) -- Spartan Girl, 14:23:43 10/25/09 Sun I say it would be a good thing if the girl was selected for their beauty, not just because she is tall as the poster said. For example, Texas is a tall girl but her body is very well balanced. Height is ok on her. Some girls who are very tall don't have the proportions as Texas does. So all of this started with the poster saying they should go ahead and crown Daniell Bounds because of her height, which personally I feel is the wrong reason to crown a girl. Maybe the judges should look at the whole picture and not just height, (NT) -- Hope this clarifies things some., 15:00:19 10/25/09 Sun Also if height was a requirement, they should have put it in the rules for the pageant and not accept contestants unless they were 6 feet tall, and yes, what about the shorts girls, should directors not take their money and should judges not give them a good look either, as you say. just pass on by and give the crown to a tall girl. (NT) -- Gezzz, 15:04:05 10/25/09 Sun sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the girls being crowned in other states that were tall (ie Texas, who I also think has a nice body). I guess when I saw that you called someone's body "deformed" and then the fact that you said "too much of anything is too much" (or however you worded it), and "not normal", I thought you were being general. I hope you can see why I thought your comments were rude to begin with though, which is why I was defensive. (and I also don't think that height should have a large factor in crowning) (NT) -- Spartan Girl, 15:15:00 10/25/09 Sun I don't see Breanna (NT) -- Is she not competing this year?, 11:18:19 10/26/09 Mon she said all year she would not compete because of cheer. (NT) -- maybe next year, 20:05:34 10/26/09 Mon shoot! I was on her Teen team and we lost contact. I need to email mom (NT) -- She's GORGEOUS!!!!!, 09:07:04 10/27/09 Tue on the subject of height. the average miss usa contestant is about 5'9. in the history of miss universe very few short girls have won. the average winner is between 5'9 and 6 ft. the shortest was 5'3 and that was in the early eighties. so height is a good thing. but height combined with proportion and beauty is the way to go in my opinion.

We have quite a few crossovers this year from MAO, including a current titleholder ((she just won the title like a month ago)). I'm glad to see that they are keeping steady with the girls even in this economy. Allison is my pick to win and I'm already saying a Hail St. Shandi for Tiffany to break top 5 again. I think Rohma will break finals but might be seen as too young to win the whole thing. She takes gorgeous photos and is a lock for photogenic again this year. My entire top 5 include Biehle, Mack, Christina DeVoe (T10 IN MAO 09), Toma Higgenbotham and Ashley Wilcher. (NT) -- MLOP, 22:34:03 10/22/09 Thu wow Rhoma!!!!!!!

I think she's better suited for USAS (NT) -- Drama Queen, 20:49:16 10/29/09 Thu I think she would be a great Miss America....Miss America talent was always suppose to be about accomplishment; not about putting on a 2 minute good enough for a pageant show. Back in the day accomplishment was heavily rewarded. Erica does a cute hiphop dance with basketballs; but it really represents her accomplishment as an athlete. She had a basketball scholarship to a school in Colorado. She went to HS in Az, so not sure about why she is back in Colorado; but she obviously qualifies for both. Miss America should recognize accomplisment/talent. Plus Erica is very beautiful. She is just what Miss America should be style, success, service and scholarship..

I am miserable at posting pictures, but I would like to report that we have a new Miss Louisiana USA and Miss Louisiana Teen USA!

The Miss is Sara Brooks and the teen is Brianna Waguespack!

I wasn't there, but eyewitness reports say that Brianna's on-stage presence was excellent and that the Miss competition was wide open for the taking. Hopefully we will have some crowning pictures soon! If I see any, I'll try to post. :)

Author: Penguin [Edit]	Date Posted: 12:32:56 10/29/09 Thu I think I speak for us all when I say I will miss Meemaw's presence on the board - most notably her humor. To honor her acerbic wit and unmatched ability to send vodka infused drinks shooting through every orifice of my body, I'd like to dedicate this post to Meemaw's Greatest Hits. Share your choices for Meemaw's best one-liners... those classic quips that made you pee a little. My choice: Her Traumatic Review of Miss USA 2005 is one that I read again and again. So many laugh out loud moments in this opus, but the one line that gave me the best ab workout ever is the following: "All the menfolk covered their crotches again as Brenda worked the stage like no one had done before her..... Pennsylvania's gown is the worst kind of trash, but Brenda's presentation elevated it to not only acceptable but sensational. Yes folks, Brenda made even this old lady pop a boner." Thanks for the laughs Meems. By the way, you owe me 17 pairs of new underwear. XOXOXO! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Such a great post - I can't remember EXACT wording, but I would say that ANY of her Kristi Glakas journal entries are my favorite (and note that they all ended with "!!!!!!!!!!!!1").

People were attacking her for her opinions, so she just started posting robotic, positive comments. It came to a hilarious climax when she posted a picture of Miss Montana, wearing the much-maligned Shandi gown with the caption "Miss Montana USA looks lovely in her evening gown. As do all of the other contestants." I still laugh about that almost four years later. (NT) -- old school fan, 13:01:55 10/29/09 Thu YES! I remember that.

Meemaw’s description of Holly Roehl’s descent down the staircase and the leg position of Danielle Boatwright with her final SS pose actually did make me pee my pants and chicken culets, along with ‘she ruined my life’ are now part of my vocabulary!

My parents are doctors so we were ONLY allowed to use medical terms for all private parts and bodily functions. Naturally, we taught these words to our friends at school. Well, my parents got all kinds of phone calls from the school about our "inappropriate vocabulary"...to the surprise and amazement of my mother! The teachers then begged her not to teach us the facts of life, to which she responded "Too late!". Oops! (NT) -- Miss Princess, 23:38:31 10/29/09 Thu Oh my goodness!

Everytime a contestant talks about Red, I say to myself "Oh Meemaw would HATE that". =) One thing that always makes me smile is the thought of Meemaw taking off her top, running around the house, waving her arms abover her head and screaming. I'm cracking up just thinking about it. There are just too many smiles and fond memories to list... and isn't that a great thing to be able to say. =) (NT) -- I Love WA!, 00:41:41 10/30/09 Fri Let's see:I remember when Meemaw said not too long a go about a girl coming out onstage chewing gum and I about fainted thinking of the sight of that;when LaLa won MIss TX I remember a picture posted of LaLa's face superimposed onto a witch(with flames in the background-I think that is my earliest Meemaw memory);her strongly worded letter to Carrie Prejean.

(NT) -- dessertdeb, 03:31:01 10/30/09 Fri My favorite quote also came from 2005 review: Something to the effect of "and introducting the weight watchers top 5" (NT) -- Pageantnut, 04:11:02 10/30/09 Fri Well, of course Meemaw has delivered numerous bursts of laughter over the years... the Miss USA 2005 review is a classic... the Kristi diaries always had me choking because they were only such SLIGHT exaggerations from reality.... but, one moment I remember being caught so offguard about a comment Meemaw made was when Tiffany Fallon posed for Playboy. Meemaw made a remark about how she hoped she was happy with herself now that men in trailers all over the country would be ogling her with a beer can in one hand and their hahas in the other! I thought I was going to hyperventilate. It just came out of the blue after I was expecting a more serious tirade against posing nude. (NT) -- BamaMan, 04:54:31 10/30/09 Fri My favorite was a review of USA 2003 when she referred to some poor child's gown as looking like "Miss Ellen's portiers"!! Being from the South, that one really cracked me up! (NT) -- Queenmum, 11:49:19 10/30/09 Fri "The Beast" from Miss USA 2005....."the voice of god" from Miss Universe 2000. :-) (NT) -- HIM, 12:42:56 10/30/09 Fri I believe it was BamaMan who introduced us to the Beast as well as Stacey Offenburger's gown comments. (NT) -- Desiree, 05:32:40 10/31/09 Sat No, the Beast emerged in Meemaw's Miss USA 2005 review, and then poor Jill Gulseth was commonly referred to as "The Beast" from that point forward. Even after she slimmed down and looked like a Goddess, she was still "The Beast." I'm not sure about Stacy Offenberger's gown comments. I mostly just had a stroke that she made the Top 5, I think! (NT) -- BamaMan, 07:20:33 10/31/09 Sat Another one I just remembered: "Bitch in Pepto Bismol a nasty surprise." (NT) -- old school fan, 08:57:50 10/31/09 Sat Remember when Meems offered to wash Tami Farrell? Howdie doodies, chicken cutlets (please keep them tucked in), Dirty pillows, Lavianos (lots of boobies on PC), and DON'T say "cocktail" dress in chat! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 13:03:56 10/31/09 Sat I don't think I was around for the Kristi diaries but that was HILARIOUS! OMG! and I just read the 2005 review again, priceless....I love you Meems! (NT) -- Elin, 07:22:11 11/01/09 Sun

Subject: Ok, I need advice from you experienced women. I'm competing in my first pageant later next month. My swimsuit seems to be a little more "revealing" on the lower half than I'm comfortable with.... I need those secret tips and advice

Brazilian wax, Firm Grip to keep your hiney hidden, and cotton stuffing or Camelflage to prevent camel toe. (NT) -- Meemaw, 00:49:07 10/29/09 Thu LOL -- there's really a product called Camelflage? Just when you think you've heard it all...! (NT) -- New York Guy, 14:45:37 10/29/09 Thu They have those new thigns you can put in the front of your swimsuit to prevent camel toe. I'll find the link (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 08:41:12 10/29/09 Thu I bought those form la casa and you can completly see it through the swimsuit.... like it's worsethan just going without. (NT) -- :(, 10:55:31 10/29/09 Thu Def. wax for this time frame, but I have had great success with laser hair removal! Done waxing now! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 09:03:32 10/29/09 Thu Medical tape : 3 strips, on bare skin, covers up the problem. Cost effective, comfortable, and efficient. (NT) -- Colorado fan, 12:27:15 10/29/09 Thu YES! Seen that done back stage at NJ MAO. MEdical tape across then..ehem...toe. (NT) -- Fannie Pack, 14:17:12 10/29/09 Thu ok, so what about those of us that don't care to go completely bare--as in "applied to bare skin" (NT) -- Now what?, 12:14:57 10/31/09 Sat ugh I had laser hair removal 6x and all it did was burn me and my hair is still growing (NT) -- :(, 12:28:06 10/29/09 Thu Rats! That's not supposed to happen. Not to be nosy, but did you go to a nurse? I really rec. a nurse in a med. practice. Sorry to hear about that! (NT) -- webby - the PacNW gal!, 23:08:52 10/30/09 Fri Ok I have to add to this one since I have tried everything under the sun to fix those....umm...swimsuit issues ;) I love the product "It Stays" over the Firm Grip. It Stays is a roll on glue that is water soluble and comes right off with a wet paper towel after the swimsuit competition, unlike the Firm Grip that makes clothes stick to your backside for a good week after the pageant lol. My other best tip for the front area ;) are Band Aid brand blister pads. They are oval shaped, tan in color and go seamlessly onto the skin and can't be seen in any way through the swimsuit. Worked great for me and a few others that have had the same issue in Jamye Shaw and Lady M swimsuits. Hope that helps the uncomfortable issues that arise in swimsuit :D (NT) -- Cali contestant, 23:47:55 10/29/09 Thu Where can you purchase It Stays? (NT) -- Thanks, 11:32:38 10/30/09 Fri Ebay usually has it but if you type it into google a bunch of sites come up (NT) -- Cali contestant, 12:02:26 10/31/09 Sat

Subject: To strap or not to strap
Author: Eve [Edit]	Date Posted: 19:21:55 10/29/09 Thu Hi guys. I need your advice. I am entering a small local pageant next January. I have pretty much everything ready, except for a pair of clear transparent shoes. Should I get the ones with strap, or without them? What do you think? Thanks. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I don't think you should get clear transparent shoes, period! They're outdated and look silly. Get yourself some reasonably priced, comfortable, normal shoes! (NT) -- Meemaw, 00:04:55 10/30/09 Fri Tell that to Shana Sand!..... (NT) -- Andres, 16:42:15 10/30/09 Fri Agreed. Most people have moved on from the acrylic shoes, and the ones that still wear them look silly in comparison. Go for beige, tan, or something fun and unique! (NT) -- I Love WA!, 00:43:48 10/30/09 Fri For swimsuit go for a metallic gold or silver strappy high heeled sandal. Much more updated than clear shoes. (NT) -- There's a great nude strappy one out there too, just can't remember the brand., 13:05:42 10/30/09 Fri Please... avoid the lucite heels (NT) -- Gypsy, 22:37:38 10/30/09 Fri

I was hoping someone would post that pic of Katie! Click in for another season-related pageant pic. -- Indy, 13:33:10 10/30/09 Fri Haha, Indy! I knew I could count on you to come up with something! (NT) -- HG, 15:37:24 10/30/09 Fri As Chloe Cabrera would say, that's a mighty big pumpkin! (NT) -- Andres, 16:40:13 10/30/09 Fri Hey! That was in my hometown!

Subject: Does anyone have any info on the upcoming Miss NM USA pageant?
Author: SL in NM [Edit]	Date Posted: 17:56:49 10/27/09 Tue I know we are a yawn state but I still would like to know what's going on. :-) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

New Mexico is notoriously bad about giving out any information on their pageants. Unfortunately you probably won't know what's going on until after it's gone on. (p.s. I have such fond memories of going to summer camp at Glorieta every year!) (NT) -- Meemaw, 12:26:39 10/28/09 Wed Nice to see you posting on the board, SL! I enjoyed chatting with you in Monday Night Pageant Chat! (NT) -- Indy, 15:13:14 10/28/09 Wed Indy -- It was great to meet you and chat with you! Maybe this coming Monday, I won't get online so late. :-) (NT) -- SL in NM, 17:24:08 10/30/09 Fri Meemaw -- Glorieta is a beautiful place! To see another part of our beautiful state is that you need to come visit me at my home - the Pueblo of Acoma and the Pueblo of Laguna. 5 miles in almost any direction from my home you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere surrounded by red sandstone mesas, Mt. Taylor, and various plants. We have friends who come just to sit in silence on our hills. :-) (NT) -- SL in NM, 17:19:17 10/30/09 Fri
