After surfing onto the Mrs Texas site, I decided to check out the photo gallery. First, what a gorgeous group of women. Second, I had to giggle at the BEST local title ever for a Mrs contestant: Mrs Trophy Club Lastly, I just loved how the winner stoops down to receive her crown. I don't think she realized that the previous queen who was crowning her was already about a foot taller than she is....no stooping needed. Too cute.

It is with regret that we announce, for personal reasons, Crissy Jamie, has resigned her position as Mrs. West Virginia America 2010. She has done a wonderful job promoting the Mountain State, we will miss her, she will always be part of our pageant family. First runner-up, Manda Teter from Franklin, will represent us... in September at Mrs. America 2010.
Best of luck to Manda in her preparation for Mrs. America!

Author: state contestant [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:27:33 06/23/10 Wed Just curious. I want a new gown for my state pageant and everything I like is 3K. I know... I have checked pageant resale and Ebay. Just getting sick of seeing the same Toby Bowls and Jovani gowns over and over again. So, are you actually paying these prices?

There is absolutely no reason to pay that kind of $$$$$$$ for your gown. Scour the internet and you'll find plenty of beautiful and reasonably priced gowns. Just got to do your homework! -- Marney, 16:11:10 06/23/10 Wed Paid $4,800.00 for my Yearick gown and it's beautiful and I feel beautiful in it. -- Love It, 21:12:55 06/23/10 Wed I'm in a big state, I've never paid over $1000 but I buy all resale gowns, and I've always worn one of the big three designers, my best buy was a $250 top of the line Sherri hill gown that I had restyled for $150... would have been less but it was really big on me and had to have a lot of work done. my gown scores have always been pretty high and very consistent. but several of the ladies I've compete with have bought the $3000 gowns, some do well some dont... but I doubt the gown made the difference either way, as long as the gown is right for you! I've had judges "hate" my gown and "love" my gown in the same pageant... you just never know, wear what you feel beautiful in! -- good luck, 21:52:14 06/23/10 Wed www.crowningmomentclassifieds.com and www.mycrowningcloset.com -- if you want newer styles you have to pay the price..., 23:42:42 06/23/10 Wed I highly suggest looking at Frankie Couture. I had seen his name posted a few times on various boards so I decided to contact him and see how much a custom gown cost. I was blown away by how affordable it was and the high quality of the gown. Each to their own opinion, but I think contacting Frankie Simmons of Frankie Couture would be work looking into. -- Mrs. Friend, 06:30:57 06/24/10 Thu he has some beautiful gowns! I loved the one he did for Mrs TX 2009! it was a show stopper! -- beautiful, 21:24:33 06/27/10 Sun I got mine off of Ebay from China custom made for $168. But spent $700 in alterations!!! I did not plan to spend that much but it needed it. -- Mrs., 06:53:54 06/24/10 Thu You can look into renting a gown. You have to find one that fits you already with minimal alterations, but you can wear an expensive gown for a much lower price tag. (NT) -- fellow mrs, 08:21:13 06/24/10 Thu Re: there is a new site similar to pageant resale that you should check out. http://www.primandposeencore.com/ -- There are some great gowns listed, 09:24:49 06/24/10 Thu My two cents worth about gowns -- tpf, 09:27:38 06/29/10 Tue Check out JDICouture.com prices are very reasonable to have custom gown designed for yourself. -- no name, 20:47:16 06/29/10 Tue Really liking THIS one!!! -- Is this from that site?, 13:37:19 07/01/10 Thu Yes it is. There's also a JDI Couture club on facebook. -- no name, 13:48:06 07/01/10 Thu I definitely don't see the point in paying over $2k for a gown. You can find absolutely stunning gowns for much less....plus, you should remember that YOU make the gown, not the other way around -- are you serious?, 16:01:18 07/04/10 Sun

Other contestants know what is real and what is not and hopefully talented judges do as well. -- keepin it real, 08:41:51 06/11/10 Fri It is this weekend any predictions to the winner? Look like several repeaters! -- curious, 08:05:49 06/15/10 Tue Dionne Tarter will win. -- www.dionnetarter.blogspot.com, 10:07:51 06/17/10 Thu Probably not, it is to close to call yet. Rumor has it major upsets will happen this year!! -- WA Fan, 07:25:05 06/19/10 Sat Mrs. Washington 2010, Carla Richards -- Congratulations!, 20:54:05 06/19/10 Sat By photo I did not see this coming at all. She is beautiful though and how exciting! -- Congratulations, 01:39:30 06/20/10 Sun Once again that proves the photos can not determine the winner! The beauty on the inside is so much more important and this lady has it!! Congrats to her and the court they are all fabulous and will win eventually, keep competing!! -- WA Fan, 22:27:18 06/20/10 Sun Can you explain what "win eventually" means? Do they have a magic number of times they have to compete before they win....? -- confused..." (, 22:53:27 06/20/10 Sun Well it seems pretty explanatory if you do not win you need to run again until you do win. Most winners in the Washington pageant compete 3 or 4 years before they seem to win. -- not confused, 16:32:17 06/21/10 Mon Can a newby win or do you have to compete several times to be considered? They do have formers and one judge that is there every year. -- still confused., 20:24:54 06/21/10 Mon A newby has not one in the past 6 years! The competition is fierce, the constant top 5 are amazing women as each wins there opens room to get in line for the crown. Some judges are the same from over the years, this my affect the outcome. You just gotta put in the time or be Wonder Woman!! -- informed, 15:15:47 06/22/10 Tue really didn't find the competition fierce, just the top 5 were all repeaters. some new ones deserved top 5 and were overlooked because it was their first time. will not recommend.. -- too bad this is the only way to america, 20:48:39 06/22/10 Tue As an outsider watching this pageant for the past years the top 5 deserved to be there. The first runner up will take the crown this year, why she hasn't yet is a mystery! The new contestants this year were inexperienced and it showed that's why they did not place. Again it is more than looks it's the interview, poise, grace and stage presence. It's always easy to blame the judging if that makes you feel better! -- observer, 08:59:20 06/23/10 Wed Re: Once again that proves the photos can not determine the winner! The beauty on the inside is so much more important and this lady has it!! Congrats to her and the court they are all fabulous and will win eventually, keep competing!! -- Wa, 17:38:13 06/25/10 Fri This was my first year competing for Mrs. Washington. Let me say this...the women who have competed in previous years make the top five because they DESERVE it. The old saying "Practice makes perfect" rings true in this pageant! The judges didn't select returners because of favoritism. They selected previous contestants because they were excellent candidates. The more you compete, the more you learn and the stronger you become as a competitor. If a "newbie" had done as well as the returners, the judges would have seen that and rewarded her with a spot in the top 5, and maybe even the crown. I learned a lot this year and hope to come back as a stronger contestant next year. Congratulations to Carla, she is deserving, humble, kind and beautiful! Can't wait to see her rock Mrs. America in September! (NT) -- First time competitor, 17:28:05 06/23/10 Wed Re: Mrs. Washington is June19 Contestants are posted -- WA gal, 17:35:01 06/25/10 Fri Sure you're a first time contestant. Which of the top 5 are you, really? -- WA, 16:15:19 06/27/10 Sun Re: Mrs. Washington is June19 Contestants are posted -- Pageanty, 17:41:42 06/25/10 Fri Yes, I am a first time contestant, and no, I did not make the Top 5. There is such a thing as being happy for your friends when they succeed. This pageant is about supporting each other! -- First time contestant, 19:50:38 06/27/10 Sun WA is a great example of unfair judging. The judges know everyone who's competed before. This is why people think pageants are all rigged. It's because of unscrupulous directors like this one that would rather keep it a good old girls club then be honest and let the chips fall where they may. I always heard the Marmels were honest people but if they don't care that their state directors openly have past queens and repeat judges then I guess I was heard wrong. -- Mrs Fan, 22:07:37 06/27/10 Sun Re: WA is a great example of unfair judging.

Her dress was unattractive, her question was obviously given to her before the pageant because her answer was soooo canned, and her body is no way ready for Mrs America. With so little time before the pageant she was not the "entire package" just a favorite of the director (who by the way was helping her). Just not okay with the "different judges different year" here because oviously you have to "know the judges" to win. -- not impressed., 20:18:25 06/30/10 Wed Re: You CANNOT be serious with this post.

There was not single lady who competed who does not need some work or adjustments, that's reality! Everyone was told the questions will be about your platform or what you will do as Mrs. Washington, Carla was prepared and is an excellent speaker!

This photo is much better of Vermont. The photo of her at the crowning isn't flattering. Hope she shows up looking like this. -- Mrs., 16:27:19 06/30/10 Wed "Ladies". Really, there are going to be 51 of you together for a week and if this is the way you welcome a newcomer to the fold, I'm embarrassed for you. Mrs. Vermont has a beautiful carrage and striking beauty about her. The poor woman drove 5 hours to this pageant in miserable humidity and as a first timer. Lay off the negative comments. Part of her prize package will get her ready to compete. What's the Mrs America motto? "we are family". Nice bunch if stepsisters. -- no name, 17:46:34 06/30/10 Wed Thank you for your statement. It seems like there is an awful lot of picking apart of people this year for looks, wardrobe and whatever. Really, how can people live with themselves? That can't possibly satisfy anything inside yourself after posting so negatively. And we are being overly generous with ourselves when we say things like "It's just constructive criticism". Very loosely used lately. There's a difference between contructive and destructive.

I had her picked to win and she placed 4th ru. -- She's not very tall though...that could hurt her chances, 16:12:11 06/23/10 Wed Re: Re Her husband is a former pro baseball player for the Diamond Backs -- google, 16:27:45 06/23/10 Wed Too Miss. -- Miss A., 19:14:56 06/23/10 Wed Not even in my Top 10. -- Top 25 at best, 21:14:51 06/23/10 Wed If she doesn't win, I will be shocked. She is amazing. -- Mrs. America, 21:17:26 06/23/10 Wed She is attractive, but not blowing me away. I feel there are at least 5 state queens prettier than her. -- Juat sayin...., 03:36:13 06/24/10 Thu I so think it will be FL or TX as the last gal standing. I would eat a hat if one of these 2 women doesn't walk away as your next Mrs. America. -- Mrs., 04:54:24 06/24/10 Thu I forgot about Florida! I think both ladies are amazing, but I think Florida will have an advantage. Both are beautiful with great community service, but Florida has a career and kids. Still, I think both ladies have a good shot of being in the top 5 or 10 or even taking the crown. To me, Shannon is a beautiful young lady but Kellie is a woman. -- good luck to both, 14:50:14 06/25/10 Fri The problem is that EVERY year everyone loves TX and FL and then they overlook them at nationals. It's not a shoe-in anymore to be from the "big" states in this pageant system. -- Good luck to all the ladies!, 12:31:13 06/26/10 Sat Career and kids has ZERO to do with who is selected at Mrs. America. You obviously don't know this system. -- get educated, 14:19:11 06/26/10 Sat For the years I have been following the pageant the winner has always had children. I know for the past three years, the winners have been Moms. And it sure seems like they are purposefully promoting family in all of their promotions of the Mrs America brand. Your statement about career may have a small amount of truth, but not buying your statement about kids when everything I see about the Mrs. America system's branding has to do with family. -- I am educated., 08:38:25 06/27/10 Sun You're not educated on this system. If having children mattered, ALL the state reps would have children. Big deal if the past 3 Mrs. A's have had children. A good amount haven't. Some women CAN'T have children, you honestly think they will be penalized and Marmel will say Don't select them, they don't have children? -- C'mon get with it!!, 06:30:42 06/28/10 Mon You are taking what I am saying way too literally. I'm not saying the judges are taking points off or that Marmel is instructing the judges to pick a Mom. BUT I do think it helps a lady even if it is on a subconcious level. Especially when the branding is as concentrated on family as Mrs. America is. All other things being equal, you won't convince me that a woman who balances a demanding career with being a wife and a Mother won't have a leg up on someone who is just a wife. I'm not saying a lady who isn't a Mom has no shot at all. I just think it helps when things are close. -- my two cents, 12:24:08 06/28/10 Mon It doesn't make a difference at all. Your theory on this is completely off. -- sorry, get educated, 12:25:27 06/28/10 Mon http://www.mrsamerica.com/lifestylebrand.html -- ?, 13:36:09 06/28/10 Mon Thanks for this. It proves nothing. You DO NOT have to be a mother in order to win Mrs. America -- just give up already....you're foolish, 14:11:43 06/28/10 Mon She and Maine really do resemble each other. They could be sisters. -- fan, 08:43:03 06/24/10 Thu I love these photos! Beautfiul lady -- Great, 17:06:07 06/24/10 Thu Super Pretty! She rocked the stage and will do the same at the Mrs. America pageant. -- Just stunning, 09:26:59 06/25/10 Fri Not impressive with TX at all, love FL but she's too obvious for Mrs. A, she'll make the cut but I gotta give it to CT right now as long as she speaks welll, she's doesn't scream pageant and she is pretty. -- JMHO, 21:29:46 06/26/10 Sat not my favorite pic but definitely my favorite contestant, she's got the look! and the whole package! -- definitely a winner!, 21:21:20 06/27/10 Sun

Re: Class of 2010 BLOG addresses...anybody know them? -- pagentgirl, 12:51:32 06/25/10 Fri Based on these blogs here are my thoughts: IA, CO, and WA have moved up on my list especially CO. VA looks a lot older in her candids than her headshots. TN could be stunning, but her nose is a bit big. I'm simply not getting or understanding KS, DE, OR. KS looks about the age of the girls in the photos she's with. DE is hit or miss in some pics. OR looks a bit too heavy for what Mrs. America looks for. -- Mrs., 14:34:07 06/25/10 Fri Re: Va looks much better in person, I saw her at Mrs. A last year. I agree some of the photos on her blog are not good. I have seen her in person and she looks great. OR is very pretty, and I do not see where you get she is heavy. TN looks great in her photo, I don't see her nose as "big." We all have different oppinions, let's wait and see how everyone looks when they get to Mrs. A, I bet there will be a few shockers. I have seen a few other ladies in person that look great as well. As a judge I look at the woman the day she is in front of me. Andrea is a beautiful Mrs. America, but I saw a few bad shots of her too. She looked incredible on stage and was my pick from prelims. -- observer, 07:09:57 06/26/10 Sat I agree with the comment about VA looking good in person. I had the privilege of meeting her in person in January and was shocked by how attractive she was compared to her photos. She does not look old as you say. Maybe just a bad photo but when you see her in person, I believe that you are going to be very surprised. You need to play nice with your verbage! -- Watcher of America contestants, 09:04:01 06/26/10 Sat I think Kansas should thin her eybrows. (NT) -- Not being mean, JMO, 09:44:47 06/26/10 Sat Mrs. Idaho's blog is updated with several of the 2011 contestants appearances. -- Blog watcher, 22:43:50 06/26/10 Sat

Love it on her!!! -- Fan, 08:53:40 06/10/10 Thu The one to watch, liked the gown for state but definately needs to glam it up. -- Love her!!!!, 19:07:39 06/10/10 Thu Your next Mrs. America, I predict. Absolutely beautiful! -- me, 17:44:30 06/11/10 Fri Just gorgeous! -- Yep, 22:33:54 06/11/10 Fri I've got her and FL at the top of my list so far. She's certainly a pretty lady. -- Aristo, 06:28:43 06/12/10 Sat My advice for the crown #1 Keep Hair Back (love it) #2 Change gown (need one more glitzy and figure flattering) #3 Loose 5-7 lbs (you always look larger on a bigger stage and it will also bring out her bone structure) -- A Coach, 11:39:25 06/12/10 Sat Re: Mrs Connecticut America Photos -- Simply beautiful!!!, 12:52:51 06/13/10 Sun I loved, loved, loved Vannassa Sebastian..thought she would have placed higher. -- fan, 19:43:16 06/13/10 Sun Does anyone have the names of the winner and her court?

(NT) -- The next Mrs A, 12:52:47 06/20/10 Sun sorry but CT has been topped several times so far. she's pretty, but def not the prettiest (NT) -- sorry, 13:45:47 06/20/10 Sun I said the prettiest naturally, w/o extensions, tons of makeup, etc. (NT) -- Has the "look", who would you say tops her?, 11:50:14 06/21/10 Mon CT is VERY made up in these pics! Check her out in the contestant photos on the CT website.......not very pretty. TX, FL, TN, VA, ME, AK,.......I could go on and on. There are SO many women competing who will overshadow her. (NT) -- sorry, 12:10:52 06/21/10 Mon No one other that FL comes close and I agree her head shot is not flattering, I agree with the above poster , she needs to keep her hair back and definately get a pro makeup artist but she is the one to beat, so far. (NT) -- Been there, know what look for, 22:58:57 06/21/10 Mon Re: When i look at past Mrs. America's I don't see one "look" they all have a different look. some glamourous, some girl next door, some sleek, some relaxed...don't know exactly what you mean by she's the one to beat. Everyone is entitled to their oppinion, I just don't agree with yours. (NT) -- My oppinion, 05:27:43 06/22/10 Tue Oh please....PLENTY blow CT out of the water!!! Why is everyone making a big deal of CT??? She's ok, but def not stunning by any means. Chill out, would ya! (NT) -- You're way off....educate yourself on Mrs. America then come back and see us, 06:48:08 06/22/10 Tue Since I'm a former, I'm more than educated and believe everyone is entitled to their opinion.
