Date Posted: 12:32:33 06/04/10 Fri The girls have to find their own sponsors and raise their own money. Heather and Marty do not help with any of it. They run the pageant for the money, not to "help" their girls. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:40:31 06/04/10 Fri Thank you to all who support me, and to all of you who love me -my true friends and family. It is very sad for me to read the rumors that have been posted here. I would like to clarify, and let you all know that my crown has not and will not be "taken away" by anyone. I am not having any financial difficulty and am well prepared to go to Nationals in July. I have represented the state of Maine and the International Pageant system with integrety, poise and grace. Wearing the Maine crown and banner has been my dream since I was a little girl. They say that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes when you are in the middle of a struggle you don't know what that reason is. The horrible things that happened to me as a young mother were all part of God's plan to get me where I am today. Isn't it amazing that HE knew that my dream would come true, and at the age of 41, after having four babies, stand on the stage and have the crown placed on my head and the MRS Maine banner on my shoulder??? God's plan was that I would use my crown and the support of the Internatiional Pageant system to share my personal experience and change the stigma surrounding domestic violence. In the time it has taken you read this post, 5 women will have been punched, slapped, kicked or otherwise phycially abused by someone they love. Respectfully, Kelly Anne Howe, Mrs Maine International 2010. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 05:19:17 06/05/10 Sat Thank you for clarifying, Kelly. This is the first time I have posted on these boards, as I just learned about them.. but I felt it very necessary to comment on this. I love you so much, and we are so well represented in the state of Maine, in all of the pageant systems. You set an extraordinary example for all of us younger former/current titleholders and for that I thank you. You are amazing and will do sooo well at Nationals. I am here for you, just as you were for me. Thank you for your continuous support and for staying strong through everything you've gone through. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:29:34 06/12/10 Sat Kelly, So glad to hear this isn't true. You are such a strong, beautiful woman who has accomplished so much. It is so great to see that your dreams are coming true. Darkness always comes before the light and you seem to have recognized all the negatives and taken them and turned them into positive -- a true beauty. Always reaching for the stars. I wish you the very best of luck on the National stage. You'll serve Maine proud. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
