Congrats! Very wholesome and natural! -- observer, 09:56:36 06/07/10 Mon I think with the right hair and make up she could very well be a top 10 placement. -- Surprised., 06:04:22 06/08/10 Tue Def not! -- sorry, 07:13:53 06/08/10 Tue Re: Mrs ND -- t33 (Excited!), 09:54:38 06/10/10 Thu Wow! A force to be reckoned with! Good luck Gorgeous! -- t33 (Excited!), 09:55:56 06/10/10 Thu hardly -- will prob place last, 07:17:31 06/11/10 Fri Wow a bit harsh there. I've seen several other states who I find less attactive than this gal. I agree with a poster above, based on THESE PHOTOS a bit of hair and make up help and I can see her doing way better than last. I find her attractive and fresh. -- Stop being so mean whoever you are., 10:24:16 06/11/10 Fri The only other state rep so far that is near the bottom of the pack is West Virginia. Sorry but this group of women so far are all striking! ND and WV don't stand a chance -- being honest, 15:46:35 06/11/10 Fri Out of the candidates I've seen so far I'd group some other states in there as well. VA (looks good in pics, not so in person), MN (she just looks worn out), AZ (just not for sure what I think, but the pics weren't that impressive), KS (looks like a teen trying to be a Mrs. and not that attractive), OK (looked a bit harsh in photos, but still open) and WV. I think there are some more clear contenders than these states. -- Just my impressions so far., 06:26:36 06/12/10 Sat Re: Have you seen any of these ladies in person? -- Question, 08:02:32 06/12/10 Sat Re: I definately would not put VA in the bottom group. I have seen her and i have to say you are wrong with her. The other ladies, I haven't seen in person, so I cannot base a decision on that. -- Let the judges decide, 08:41:41 06/12/10 Sat Yes yes I know it doesn't matter what we say on here I am simply being an arm chair judge looking at photos. We all do it. There are several winners thus far that are clearly at the top in the looks department and some that are in the bottom. JMO and that's all. AND OF COURSE I know my opinion doesnt amount to a hill of beans when it comes to the actual pageant or judging. -- Get a grip folks., 11:01:02 06/12/10 Sat So far just think Connecticut is the prettiest, and I've just seen her candids, no photoshopping, etc. -- My winner so far, 11:35:47 06/12/10 Sat Maine is by far the prettiest of all the reps so far. Very natural, no photoshop -- Maine, 14:10:09 06/13/10 Sun I agree. I do like CT as well. Looks like some of the New Enlgand states will do well this year! -- Carmen, 04:38:55 06/14/10 Mon Yes, you are entitled to your opinion but there are certainly much nicer ways to deliver a message? Hello-o-o-o-o-o-o -- Geesh, 21:22:58 06/14/10 Mon Re: Mrs ND -- Liane (Woo), 15:48:37 06/16/10 Wed I think this lady is very pretty and definitely has a good body. Better than a lot of state winners I have seen. The reason you folks are judging her so harshly is she doesnt have barely any make-up on and hair is pulled back not so neatly. I think if you looked at the other state queens with little to no makeup you would say the same thing. This lady will probably get the help she needs and shine at nationals. -- I hope she does after your evil comments., 20:23:43 06/16/10 Wed I agree the right make-up and hair will make a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference but why would a director put photos like this up when she knows these boards are out there and therefore she is opening her delegate up to major bashing. I would NEVER do that my delegate. I would be sure every photo of her on my website is glamourous and beautiful. (NT) -- shaking head, 08:07:55 06/17/10 Thu The sad thing with all of this is that I personally think this woman is very lovely and beautiful just the way she is. What is there to bash? Simply because she isn't caked with makeup or hairsprayed to high heaven that's a mistake? Look look, I compete in pageants and I know the routine, but serious, since when have we as women and competitors gotten so high and mighty that we can't appreciate an attractive woman al natural?? Personally I hope this woman shows up and puts some of the more harsher critics here to shame. (NT) -- Lets support each other not beat each other down., 09:41:30 06/17/10 Thu I think the problem with this photo isn't that she is al natural it is the contradiction in the photo... evening gown and unmade up. put her in jeans and a cut top with little make-up and mused up hair and it's perfect. if you are goingto post photos of her in a evening gown at the very least do her hair. My teenaged daughter wears her hair like this when she is having an I don't care day. A queen shoud never look like she doesn't care in public let alone in photos. (NT) -- another head shaker, 10:00:34 06/17/10 Thu -- Mrs., 09:59:47 06/17/10 Thu I like teh pulled back bang but would love to see the rest of her hair down and either a darker eye (not a lot just a touch more) or a brighter lip. It would give her a more fashionforward look with her gown... Fun gown! (NT) -- good luck to her, 10:02:24 06/17/10 Thu This photo is from a fun challenge the girls did at the pageant weekend. they were to create their own hair/make-up look and pick gowns from the gown sponsor that represented their personality (NT) -- it's not an official photo for anything. just fun, 13:40:56 06/17/10 Thu Tera is an all natural girl - she had fun with this shoot over the pageant weekend. She'll have pageant photos as soon as she can and they'll be posted on the website at that time. (NT) -- ND Fan, 13:43:07 06/17/10 Thu Are there any photos from pageant competition or of the other ladies from this competition. I'd love to see what the others looked like. (NT) -- interesting idea., 08:29:02 06/18/10 Fri http://www.mrsnd.com/2009Delegates.html (NT) -- photos of the other ladies at the challenge, 08:35:47 06/18/10 Fri Re: Mrs ND -- sue, 10:00:10 06/20/10 Sun pretty girl, not crazy about the photo but love the dress! who makes it? -- curious..., 21:57:41 06/23/10 Wed

Subject: Passed Gas
Author: Have you ever [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:56:45 05/02/10 Sun Have you ever passed gas during your pageant while on stage. I just did a pageant and I did. It must have been my nerves. I usually don't have that kind of problem. It happen to me during the whole pageant all night long. I felt horrible. Ladies would be walking right up to me after I passed and the smell was bad at least to me. They did not say anything but I am sure they smelt what I dealt. I am doing another pageant in a few months. Any tips on how to let this not be a problem next time around? Let me know. Thank you for your help. I really need it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It might be your competition diet. I am on a large amount of fiber and protein. That combination is deadly. I am going toe to toe with my husband in gas wars. Lol! I know it's gross...but I'm making up for all the years he blasted me. Anyway, If that is the case, I would definitely use an over the counter gas medication starting the day before your pageant.

AMERICA Announces Pre-Production Start for Its 35TH Anniversary Pageant Targeted for Mother's Day 2011 HOLLYWOOD, CA--(Marketwire - June 9, 2010) - MRS. AMERICA announced today it has begun pre-production for the 35th anniversary celebration of its Pageant as a major two-hour television special to be broadcast Mother's Day weekend, 2011, according to Pageant creator and executive producer, David Marmel. "We are currently planning a glamorous, eye-popping entertainment-filled television spectacular," stated Marmel. "We are checking and researching the availabilities of top creative and production talents, recording artists, host and co-host, and are also identifying principal location cities and venues, including Las Vegas, New York, Miami Beach, New Orleans, Phoenix, and Los Angeles." MRS. AMERICA focuses the attention of the nation and the world on the contemporary married woman. What begins each year as a quest for beauty, style, and charm becomes an inspiring discovery of the attributes that make the total woman truly beautiful -- her sensitivity, her boundless spirit, her unwavering determination, resourcefulness, and a strong work ethic to help ensure the well-being of the family. The MRS. AMERICA PAGEANT attracts increasing numbers of women of all ages, locations, and backgrounds, and receives over 100,000 entries each year from virtually every corner of the United States. A potpourri of contestants representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia are selected through a year-round series of local competitions headed by a MRS. AMERICA state representative together with a local committee of judges leading to the MRS. AMERICA finals. Today, MRS. AMERICA'S great popularity, both here and abroad, has earned it the distinction of being the largest Pageant system in the world, in that genre, and the fastest growing competition in the United States. The multitude of local competitions in each state leading up to the selection of the state representative has great local and regional appeal, ensuring a highly visible profile of the Pageant, with year-round publicity, promotion, and marketing opportunities.

I think this is great, but a bit odd at the same time that the network would not have been included in the press release. -- hmmmm. I hope it happens but I am not holding my breath., 15:50:13 06/09/10 Wed My thought exactly. What tv network is it going to be broadcast on and how do you arrange an extravaganza like that with less than a year to do it? -- Believe it when I see it., 04:58:57 06/10/10 Thu So, is Mrs. America going to have a super short reign this year? Or will this be the airing of the pageant this September? -- Confused., 16:08:17 06/09/10 Wed Yes, the next Mrs A will reign from Sept 2010-April 2011. State queens for this year will have shorter reignes as well since state pageant will have to be pushed up a few months. -- Hopeful, 18:03:28 06/09/10 Wed It was announced that Mrs LA America 2011 would be in May 2011, so how will that work? -- no LA at America 2011???, 18:11:24 06/13/10 Sun This was just released a few days ago. I am sure the Louisiana Director didn't even know this was happening until after the state pageant. I am sure she will have to change the date to accomodate for nationals.

How difficult it probably is to "sell" a Mrs pageant to a network (it's not very relevant to our society) and how much planning it takes to finalize the deal and the pageant? Let's be hopeful. I think if this is being posted online and emailed to directors that it may very well happen. They didn't make any statements like this last year. At the very least, I'm thrilled the pageant will now be in April. (NT) -- ., 03:52:49 06/15/10 Tue Um it actually was mentioned last year. David Marmel announced at the dinner that he was working with a tv contract to get it on the air and surprise it never happened!

There's no guarantee. Many former Miss USA contestants have competed in Mrs, America and didn't make top 10, however some only made top 5. (NT) -- ..., 03:55:18 06/14/10 Mon Most of the time, the women who were major titleholders prior to being married don't win. There's only been a couple (Nicole Brink, Andrea Preuss).

However, why does Tracy make them wear that opening number dress. And in the photos it looks awful! Let the ladies buy their own dress in a designated color! This does NOT look classy!

Mrs Texas has delegate photos in Gallery of opening number and swimsuits. From photos: Abby, Shannon, and Elizabeth Godsy are my favorites. Lee Gettman a no show again. -- me, 08:52:34 06/11/10 Fri So Lee enters, pays her fee, and then doesn't show up? Every year? -- hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, 09:29:20 06/11/10 Fri Looking at TX if Shannon Patterson doesn't win I'll eat a hat. I know nothing about this girl so I'm going on photos alone, but she is one of the prettiest women I've seen all pageant season and if she wins TX I think she'll be a strong contender for Mrs. America. Beautiful lady. -- Good luck to all, 10:36:04 06/11/10 Fri I agree Shannon looks like Mrs America. With Lee, who knows, this is the 3rd year in a row she enters, pic up on website and nothing. Weird. -- me, 12:48:45 06/11/10 Fri Glad I don't have to eat a hat! I think from what I've seen thus far here are my standouts AT THIS POINT. Florida, Connecticut and Texas. -- Getting Excited for Mrs. America., 09:29:07 06/13/10 Sun Looking at candids and swim shots, I think Lauree, Abby, Shannon, Donna and April look strong. April could be a redhead to give FL a run for it. -- Many Standouts, 21:00:31 06/11/10 Fri

Subject: Do all states annouce top inteview? And awards prior to announcing the winner?
Author: Just Wondering [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:55:25 05/17/10 Mon I know some states have the top interview, top interview,ect. awards. Do they all annouce them prior to announcing the winner? I find that it ruins it because if the judges have 3 scoring catagories and they tell you who got the best interview award, evening gown award, ect. Then you pretty much have a good idea on who is going to win. It really takes the suspense out of it. I think they should not annouce the top interview, nor any tops that the judges score on prior to announcing the court. I understand Photogenic, congeniality, ect. But not the ones that have to do with how the judges scored them. Really takes away the excitement at the end. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
It's the decision of the state director whether or not they want to give awards for top interview, etc. It's not required. And just because someone wins a top award does not mean they won the crown. -- Marney, 04:33:11 05/18/10 Tue Ours just gives the top SS but no interview or EG... -- wish they did though, 20:00:02 05/18/10 Tue I can tell you from experience that top in any of these categories does not dictate the winner. Also, the 3 categories that you are scored on get you to top 10. From there it is just evening gown (not sure what judges judge on from there). In some systems, interview is the only award that is based on an actual score and evening gown and swimsuit are judged by a special awards judge and it has nothing to do with how well a particular contestant actually scored on stage. Depending on which system, your special winners do not dictate who the winner will be. (NT) -- Pageant fanatic, 13:55:39 06/08/10 Tue For the last 2 years in LA, they've announced interview, SS, and EG. In both 2009 & 2010, there was a sweep of the awards by the ultimate winner. That does disolve the fun and suspense at the end. (NT) -- although the emcee still announced the winner like it was a surprise, 13:09:25 06/09/10 Wed

Subject: Filler Contestants?
Author: Wondering [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:29:47 06/08/10 Tue I have heard of several state pageants this year using "fillers" for their contestants. Several America directors have offered free "scholarships" to contestants to get their numbers up, but now I have heard that these women are ineligible for the title. Is that true? And has that been disclosed to them? Anyone know anything about this? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Oklahomas scholarship women were eligible to win, they just got really lucky getting it for free! -- me, 13:03:57 06/08/10 Tue I think our pageant has some filler ladies but they have no desire to win. They are still eligible to win but it would be highly unlikely. -- Mrs., 13:42:35 06/08/10 Tue How does this work? I mean, why would you enter a pageant knowing you don't have a shot? -- Weird to me., 15:28:26 06/08/10 Tue Probably for the experience.

Subject: Mrs. Minnesota Article
Author: nice [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:22:26 06/07/10 Mon Mankatoan wins Mrs. Minnesota Breanna Ludeman was third runner-up last year By Tim Krohn Free Press Staff Writer MANKATO � Breanna Ludeman of Mankato will represent the state in the Mrs. America contest after being crowned Mrs. Minnesota over the weekend. �Oh, what a ride,� said Ludeman, who won the state competition at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. �It�s such an honor to represent married women in your state.� Ludeman, 32, is a registered nurse for the Mankato Schools, a personal trainer and fitness trainer at the YMCA. She and her husband, Sander Ludeman, have two boys, Sander, 8, and Camden, 6. Half of the scoring in the Mrs. Minnesota contest came from a personal interview with a panel of six judges. Twenty five percent came from a physical fitness/swimsuit competition and the rest from an evening gown competition. �This competition is really focused on marriage and the family and what it means to us,� Ludeman said. Ludeman competed in the event last year, finishing as third runner up. �This year it just all came together,� she said. Ludeman was a neonatal nurse at the Mankato Clinic until quitting in 2005 to stay home with her children. She�s involved in a number of community efforts, including the March of Dimes, the Monroe Elementary PTO, the Health Improvement Partners and 4-H. Ludeman�s children and a Mankato contingent of supporters were among the 1,000 people attending the state competition. �Our kids loved it. And we had a lot of community members there. I had some fabulous cheering squads � I�m sure that helped.� She will be among 51 competitors in the Mrs. America contest in Tucson, Ariz., on Sept. 8. She was crowned by Mrs. Minnesota 2009 Heather Hall of Stillwater. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
