| [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Thanks for the advice and feed back. Now what exactly is it that you would have done differently. I highly doubt that Ashleys gown choice was what held her back from the Top 15. Your feed back is welcomed. | |

| [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I honestly don't know why she didn't make the top 15, just like I don't know why several of the other 35 girls that did not make it either. I dont think a gown makes difference. The few girls that we have had make the 15 have not been in spectactular gowns, but still made it in. Ashley was prepped by some of the best people in the industry( and no, I am not talking about myself). I do not know the reason why she did not make it but what I will say is that she is an amazing young lady and gave it 110%. I expect that you will see big things from Miss Underwood in the future and lets please not loose site of the fact that thousands of girls try every year to have this opportunity. Making the Top 15 at Miss USA is great but the experience lasts a lifetime. | |

| [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I am not quite sure what you mean by "The few girls that we have had make the 15 have not been in spectacular gowns, but still made it in." Are you saying that the girls weren't spectacular in that portion or that the gowns themselves weren't that spectacular? As a gown sponsor, I am sure AJ Silva would be very saddened to hear that's how your felt about the gowns. I think an original design is much better than a mass produced Jovani number. | |

| [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I mean their gowns were not spectacular stage gowns. All of AJ's gowns are beautiful but the choices were not necessarily the right gown for the stage. It has nothing to do with AJ so dont try and make drama where their is none. It doesn't matter who makes the gown, wether it be mass produced or custom, it needs to be the gown that the girl loves and feels the best in. Labels dont matter. FYI - Aj is not a gown sponsor. | |

| [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Not trying to create drama at all, I was just asking for clarification. AJ may not have been a gown sponsor this year, but he has been in years past. The year I attended at the Sheraton, he had two of his gowns on display and Kaetlin utilized his services last year because of his sponsorship contribution. If labels do not matter, why was Ashley in a Carlos Alberto gown? Carlos was a big part of USA this year, very influential from what I understand. Also, as the director, why would you send a girl onto the USA stage if the gown was not right for the stage? | |

Author: Please don't misinterpret my questions, I mean no disrespect whatsoever. The potential for this pageant is huge. I hope to one day see the USA state numbers up in the 30's. I'd hate to see such a promising, young director lose the pageant because the numbers weren't there. [ Edit | View ] |

| [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: USA numbers havent been in the 30's for the Miss for a long time, The USA system still had more contestants between Teen and Miss then any other pageant in the state. Also, ALL USA state pageants had low numbers last year. One director went from 85 to 35 in a year. Although I have plenty of room for improvement and I am still learning, I think I am doing just fine and I think that MUO would agree. I appreciate your imput and I am happy to answer any questions you may have and I would love to hear any suggestions you may have. Please feel free to contact me through email or by phone. | |

| [> [> [> Subject: We were fortunate that Katie was in the top 15 last year, but just because Katie made it doesn't mean Maine will be in the top 15 again anytime soon...I think Katie being in the top was just a one in a million thing. Don't get me wrong, she totally deserved it, but this is Maine we are talking about...our girls don't have Southern drawls, big boobs and bleach blonde hair. | |
