Subject: Congratulations Natalie Author: NES [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:49:15 11/20/07 Tue HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY *~*~*~Way to Go, Natalie, at NES~*~*~* CongratulationsCongratulationsCongratulationsCongratulations NES National 0-6 Most Beautiful Black & White Photo Age Division Winner Color Photo Age Division Runner Up We want to THANK Miss Tammy and all her staff for a wonderful pageant experience. This was the biggest event Natalie has entered, and we enjoyed every minute of it. From the moment we walked in on Friday until we left on Sunday we were among some of the friendliest people from all over the country! Thank you BEACHBABIES for the wonderful TAN. Also, you did a great job with H/M. Natalie can be a handful, but she seemed to really like you both. You did a great job for all of the events, she looked beautiful! Catherine Fiehn, a big THANK YOU for the wonderful pictures. I was so happy when I received your phone call November 1st saying you had a cancellation. You did an amazing job with Natalie. Natalie would not of won age division b/w photo or runner up age division color photo without your help. A Big thank you to Vanessa and Asha Tillmann for letting us ride with you. Natalie LOVES seeing Asha. She has talked about you non-stop. She already asked if we can ride with you next time! Vanessa I know I can count on your answers to my "silly" questions. No matter what I ask, you have an answer for it. Thanks again. Cara Kennedy, Natalie really enjoys seeing you at pageants. You have become one of her good pageant friends. Jennie & Ava, you are some of the first people Natalie looked for at NES. Kim & Melody, thanks for being great roommates. Natalie loved playing with Melody. To all of the wonderful pageant families we have met THANK YOU for all your help with questions etc. Natalie had a great time at NES Nationals and has already asked to go next year. And Corrie-Marie, we saved the BEST for last...words can not say enough about the relationship Natalie and you have. The way my daughter lights up when you enter the room is priceless. Ask anyone who saw Natalie on stage the week before in NH, compared to how she did on stage at NES, there was a HUGE difference. I owe it all to you. When she sees you behind the judges table she does much better. You are a great role model for Natalie. I am thankful for the small amount of time you spend with her, you do wonders. I try for weeks to get her to do things, and it takes you 5 minutes. I hope we can get her to you more often. Your family has helped us in so many ways. Thank you so much. Congratulations to all the NES National Contestants Pageant Hugs Natalie Banners by Lilypad Graphics [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Congratulations, but I'm wondering (not trying to be mean): Author: If there was tanning and hair/makeup people, how is that "natural"? [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:06:11 11/21/07 Wed

[> [> Subject: this was not natural this was BACK TO BASICS. click in Author: . [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:28:17 11/21/07 Wed Meaning no falls, wiglets, flippers, fake eye lashes. The tanning was allowed because some went there from FL, CA and other warm states where they have tans, it was a personal preference. WOOHOO Natalie, what a great win. That was a huge pageant with over 100 girls from all over. Keep those big titles coming!!!

[> Subject: Natalie's Mom NES and Northeast Star Author: Sasha [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:23:57 11/26/07 Mon NES (Naturally, Elegant & Simple) is a National Pageant held in CT. There are prelims held for NES, the one held in Maine was in June. Northeast star pageant was held in Calais, NO TIES to MISS MAINE. In order to compete in Northeast Star you can not hold any other title on the day of their pageant. Any other questions email me. Thanks, Sasha

[> [> Subject: C/I Author: Sasha [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:53:49 11/28/07 Wed Yes it does. I did not know this until today. When Natalie did Maine Day there was a different Eastern Maine Regional Director (that was in Aug). I did not realize that she stepped down and Alicia was the new Regional Director. This is very new, and I am sure I am not the only one who did not know yet. Best of Luck to the NEW Eastern Maine Director! ~Sasha

[> [> [> Subject: I AM SO CONFUSED! I don't usually frequent these boards, but I am somewhat familiar with most of the pageants discussed. Author: What is the affiliation between NES, NEStar, and Eastern Maine? Click In. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:36:34 11/28/07 Wed I was under the impression that NES and NEStar were not affiliated (after much debate!). But how is the Eastern Maine pageant connected to NEStar? Have the directorships changed? I know they are relatively in the same area and a director has moved away, but I didn't realize it was Eastern Maine. Too bad if it is. I have only heard great things about it. I hope it doesn't change. I have many friends' daughters who enter Eastern Maine.

[> [> [> [> Subject: I can see why you'd be confused. Author: There are so many different systems! [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:32:49 12/01/07 Sat

[> [> [> Subject: Again, Alicia is affiliated with Miss Maine. Her NEStar Pageant is not. Author: Alicia is a Regional Director of Contestant Development & Preparation for Miss Maine. C/I [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:10:45 11/28/07 Wed This position is in NO WAY affiliated with the Eastern Maine Pageant, directed by Jayna Smith and Dawn Winchester. For more information on this pageant, go to http://easternmaine.bravehost.com/ Jayna and Dawn also have a smaller local pageant, but it is totally different from Alicia's pageants. Alicia teaches dance and is a director of the Miss International Festival Pageant and NES. Now, she is also available to help contestants prepare for Miss Maine America. For many years, to participate in Miss Maine America, a contestant had to win a preliminary pageant, such as Miss Greater Bangor, Maine Potato Queen, etc. Now, they no longer have preliminaries so young women who wish to enter are helped by these regional directors (since some Miss Maine contestants have never been in any pageant before). For more info on the Miss Maine pageant, go to http://www.missmaine.org

[> [> [> Subject: To my knowlegde nothing has changed with Miss Eastern Maine Author: Sasha c/i [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:19:21 11/28/07 Wed The director of Northeast Star Alicia Nicholson is now the Eastern Maine director for the pageants afflicated with Miss Maine (www.MissMaine.org)Miss Maine Scholarship Pageant, Miss Maine's Outstanding Teen Pageant, Miss Maine Day Pageant, and Pine Tree Prince/Princess. Nothing has changed to the Miss Eastern Maine Pageant held in Bailyville, that is its own system. Hope this helps. Sasha

[> [> [> [> Subject: Alicia's full title is Eastern Regional Director of Contestant Development & Preparation for Miss Maine Scholarship Organization. Author: She is available to help potential contestants for that system. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:23:08 11/28/07 Wed
