This is not the "PERSONAL ATTACKS ON CONTESTANTS, TITLEHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS" board. People have opinions and we encourage you to share them. However, if your opinion and subsequently your comment posting serves no purpose other than to cause distress, also known as BULLYING, then you will be banned from posting. There are two or three people currently posting whose comments are not insightful or helpful. Commenting of this nature will not be tolerated. That being said, this is also not the "YOU ARE THE MOST FABULOUS PERSON WHO EVER LIVED" board and it's possible you will read things said about you or someone you love that you do not like and don't want shared. If you believe a comment has been made about you that is libelous, please contact me and we can discuss the issue.

We're reading a lot of heated comments regarding the Miss Illinois pageant. We encourage everyone to speak openly and honestly about their experiences, everyone has an opinion. However, in the interest of good sportsmanship, or good pageantryship, let's keep the comments free of cattiness and petty jealousy. Thank you!

To post pictures on the forum you will need to use a little bit of HTML. Start by typing < followed by img src then an = followed by " then enter the information of where the photograph is located. Most of the time it will look like something like this http//: www. IL Pageant Queens . jpg but without the spaces. After you enter the address then type another " and > We've received a few emails from pageant beginners about what to wear and where to shop for pageant clothes. I'd rather let the IL pageant community answer these questions on the board so everyone can benefit from the knowledge.

There a a few photos that are really touched up and don't really look like the contestants. I prefer a realistic image/photo. I'm sure a few of the judges will have to take a double take when they see them in person. I also believe they should all be in color. Once again this is only my opinion. There are some pretty girls!

I do believe they take that and how long you have been married into consideration. I was at last years pageant and Stephanie smoked everyone on stage. Different judges...different day. That's how pageants work. It's all subjective. I'm impressed that she competes. Most coaches don't practice what they preach! She is flawless on stage! (NT) -- Anonymous, 17:06:04 05/22/13 Wed The number of children has nothing to do with the outcome. But personal interviews do account for half the overall score for the top 5. There is then usually (except for this year) an on stage interview while the top 5 are ranked. -- Anonymous, 22:21:59 05/22/13 Wed Actually you are wrong. There is never an onstage question that is judged. The emcee has a small conversation with each lady and it takes place after the score are all in. It's not judged at all. This is a Mrs. Pageant and you are crazy if you think that your life experience as being married and having a family isn't accounted for. (NT) -- Anonymous, 08:13:12 05/23/13 Thu FLAWLESS!

newsflash: miss america has seen a rising trend toward the average girl next door. miss america herself is a cheerleader type herself rather than a scholar. none of the contestants are scholars this year (maybe keeley). The academic MissIllinois is in the past.Still remember how we had four northwestern girls taje the title that decade. MAO is attemptinv to become more relatable and in turn is losing the quality which made each titleholder stand out. (NT) -- Anonymous, 02:14:48 05/05/13 Sun First of all if you when a young lady attends college that makes her a scholar, many of theses women are in college or have finished their degrees and are considering grad school. If you have seen the resumes of all our notes taints for Miss Illinios than this means you are on the board and have no business discussing this on the "Voy"! For some a "Stste School" is what they can afford, not because they can't get into the ivy leagues. The statements made on this board thie last few days have been shameful. b (NT) -- Anonymous, 06:00:14 05/05/13 Sun smart girls are resourceful. they dont have to settle for state schools. in fact they can get scholarships through organizations such as mao. There are zero excuses, even if she could only afford a state school theres a difference between UofI and ISU aka "I screwed up" (NT) -- Anonymous, 01:28:27 05/06/13 Mon Wow "you screwed up " by stating that. Sure hope you have no part in this organization ! Just because you graduate from a state school does not equal failure! Wow ignorance is bliss! Disgusting. Delete and ban. No good insightful information could be coming from this person! (NT) -- Anonymous, 08:28:07 05/06/13 Mon Not all of the girls who go to state schools "screwed up." There are some very smart girls competing in IL that chose their state schools for departmental purposes. For example, some state schools are at the top when it comes to certain fields of study. Don't just assume that because someone chose to go to a state school that their education was any less than that of an Ivy League school. (NT) -- Anonymous, 08:31:13 05/06/13 Mon notre dame>your school dont be jealous (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:18:55 05/06/13 Mon Not jealous at all. Just prefer not to be called a screw up for choosing to go to a state school because of the program I was offered. (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:19:35 05/06/13 Mon My free ride at s State school was wonderful. I'm now one of only 300 women in the nation is this highly professional sought after career. I was hand picked from a pool of thousands. I pocketed my college fund and I'm debt free from any student loans. I had a great experience so "Go State!" :) It's not the school you attend but how you use your education. (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:33:13 05/06/13 Mon Free ride at a state school? What about contestants that get nearly fully covered tuition to actually impressive schools...it's a smart people thing sorry you don't get it. (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:41:16 05/06/13 Mon Free ride at a state school? What about contestants that get nearly fully covered tuition to actually impressive schools...it's a smart people thing sorry you don't get it. -- Anonymous, 14:42:19 05/23/13 Thu I would like to preface this with I think all of the contestants should be commended on having the ability to attend school and compete in a local or at state. It takes a lot of hard work and exceptional time management which means that all of the contestants are amazingly capable young women. Also, I do have an opinion about this whole state school versus private school thing: I would much rather see a�Miss Illinois who saved her money by attending a state university for undergrad and is now in graduate or professional school than a Miss Illinois who has gone to a private university for undergrad only. I do think that more emphasis needs to be placed on scholarship. Contestants in graduate or professional programs have already demonstrated their exceptional scholarship and should be held in high regard. However, I do not feel this happens very often. Again, this is just my opinion and only one often undervalued factor in which I think the quality of scholarship should be assessed. (NT) -- Anonymous, 00:20:04 05/07/13 Tue

Very nice of you to try. Unfortunately, all the complaining about a lack of positive posts on this board, people leaving their full names to protest of how just terrible and awful this board is was in vain. Which is in itself feeding the monster of negativity, isn't it? Someone posts trying to get a conversation going about her volunteer work and it gets no replies. Nothing. Why aren't there 20 comments about how wonderful volunteerism? Where are all the comments about how wonderful pageants are? Why the silence? It's so strange. Right? So how about this, save your sanctimonious cries and your faux outrage about "the voy boards", about how you "never read them" and "would never post on them" and own it. Everyone knows it. It's a dirty little secret. You're posting here and reading and so is your mom and your 3 best friends. (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:53:58 05/18/13 Sat You've even showed this to your boyfriend and your dad and wailed "look what they're saying about me" or shouted revenge "I'm going to tell everyone the truth about her!" The reason you read the voy boards is to talk trash and trash talk. Because if what you really wanted to do is encourage the best of what pageants can be and do then there would be more posts doing JUST THAT. So let's just talk about how homely this contestant is and how talentless that contestant is because despite all the comments to the contrary, this is really what everyone wants to read about. Pathetic! (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:54:37 05/18/13 Sat

Subject: You changed my mind
Author: Anonymous [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:43:21 05/06/13 Mon My daughter has competed in the MISA pageant system. When friends and family found out she was competing, I would often find myself "going to bat" to educate them about the positive aspects, core beliefs, 4 points of crown etc. My daughter had a positive experience, made some great friends, improved her talent and much more. So I stumble accross this website, and to say the least, I am sickened. Why would I encourage my kid or any girl for that matter, to subject herself to being talked about like this? How do so many of you take delight in cutting these girls to shreds? You hide behind anonymity and say such hateful things. Too Beefy, Talentless, Too Thin, Flat Chested, Awkward.... You haters are what's wrong with this program. Who are you? Directors, parents, contestants? If you stand by your disgusting remarks, why dont you sign your name? Now you can all talk bad about me and attempt to cut me to shreds. I will say a prayer for you. Cathy Sallenger [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It is about time someone else pointed this out. I 100% agree with you and said this same thing years ago on the other board. That mod finally wised up and banned the trolls but the board died and this one popped up. There is a difference between stating your opioin in a respectful way and just being downright mean. Unfortunately the old board being abandoned proves that these board thrive on meanies that never left high school and hide behind the fact that "this is also not the "YOU ARE THE MOST FABULOUS PERSON WHO EVER LIVED" board". I will also tell you that the hatefulness is not only liited to MISA. They go after all pageants but MISA is currently in the hot seat until Miss USA when they will be again focusing on Staci's arrest. (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:45:29 04/29/13 Mon AGREED 100% -- Anonymous, 23:54:52 04/29/13 Mon THE MISS ILLINOIS SCHOLARSHIP ASSOCIATION IS THE WORST WORST WORST STATE ORGANIZATION INVOLVED WITH THE MISS AMERICA PROGRAM!!! (NT) -- Anonymous, 23:55:31 04/29/13 Mon Agree 150 percent. As long as you keep your mouth closed you are fine but if you don't kiss up and speak your mind watch out!!! Some great contestants are competing in different states. Smart girls!!! (NT) -- Anonymous, 09:28:57 04/30/13 Tue Yes and God forbid someone decides to tell lies about a title holder or contestant on here.The state directors, local directors and judges do get on here to either read the gossip or join in and believe the lies that are clearly meant only to defamate character. However, the majority of these problems sadly start at the top and simply trickle down. From extended entry dates for pelims (3 or more times) to boost numbers or contact other potential contestants or to waiving CMN dollars till the day of prelim competions. While these issues aren't a big deal they still are still violating rules that directors / contestants are asked to follow. I personally would like to see sincere changes within the Miss Illinois organization. I can name several girls who have been defamated on this forum and within the organization, but will forego going down that road. It's just time for some honest changes on here and within Miss Illinois.There is always room for improvement for any organization. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:05:25 04/30/13 Tue From the MOD - posts that are or border on being bullying are deleted and the poster is blocked. People have opinions and sometimes those opinions aren't favorable or ones we would like to hear. "Be the change you want to see" and start positive threads and leave positive comments. There are more people like you than there are of "them" so please be more active on the board. You're not helpless to make things change. (NT) -- Anonymous, 18:05:06 05/01/13 Wed MOD...It was absolutely horrible on this board right after Miss Illinois last year. Many were thrown under the bus and ran over on this board after they completed countless hours of hard work for the organization. It was sickening and walked the line of defamation to the fullest. "I was baskstage and saw this and that." Well, that's very disturbing that "they were back stage." I doubt it. Simply lies. I know how many are backstage and it would be impossible to state this unless you were directly affliated with the organization. If so and you choose to write those horrific posts then please get out of the organization as you have no business working with these ladies! So, while I agree that some good can come from this board, I hope the MOD is ready to delete, ban, delete, ban when this happens after this years pageant. Many will be watching this year "from the audience" and not everything comes up roses, but let's applaud these ladies for all the good they do in our communities! (NT) -- Anonymous, 08:27:30 05/02/13 Thu I completely understand where you are coming from. The problem is that when people do try to start positive threads, all this does is open up the young women for bashing. I'm sorry but saying that someone is awkward, flat chested, not talented, unintelligent, etc. is not constructive criticism. Even if it's someone's opinion, all it does is tear the young women down. We all need to make a change, and I'm happy that Cathy was brave enough to sign her name. (NT) -- Anonymous, 08:47:51 05/02/13 Thu I don't agree with that. I have seen and been the target of threads that where left alone until they started to mess with the flow of the board. It was only then that the threads were deleted and a message posted at the top of the board(one of which is still there). It is thought that you are part of the IL game and so if you think it is true it is left up. For example where were you when Jennifer Carr was being asscused of writing stuff? You havr the ips and could have stopped it but you didn't and we had to step up and defend her. (NT) -- Anonymous, 23:24:00 05/02/13 Thu Maybe I shouldn't have spoken out? IDK -- Anonymous, 13:05:00 04/30/13 Tue No we need to speak up. I admire you not only for speaking up but for signing your real name.

Those who lose can be bitter and those who have nothing better to do with their lives will always criticize because they are jealous. (NT) -- Anonymous, 22:16:22 05/01/13 Wed

Subject: Mrs. Smith if you have personal issues with Amalia than take it to a higher power. These boards won't help you. As a former competitor I can tell you that as a contestant we depend on many of the volunteers and sponsors. There are also several staff members that are wonderful. I don't think that everyone needs to go. Amalia doesn't control everyone. Some of them...yes but I can tell you that many of them know that she can be quite the handful but stay involved for the girls. I personally have appreciated many of the staff members and the volunteers and sponsors have been great.

As you all can see below, she is in desperate need of help. see the way she bashes her own daughter. maybe instead of hiding cowardly behind a computer screen anne, you should be a mother and fix your relationship with your daughter. you aren't helping your case by sitting at a computer bashing your own daughter whom everyone loves. instead of wishing bad things for her future, maybe you should take a look in the mirror and think about if you want to grow old and miserable, or get the help you clearly need, look in the mirror and learn to be a mother

I am just disappointed since the Miss Illinois brand should emphasize scholastic achievement and an ambitious spirit. I would never consider Megan a scholar...she does not carry herself that way (NT) -- Anonymous, 02:33:57 04/14/13 Sun Deans list all four years of college. Megan has signed 2 contracts with agencies in Chicago. She wants to teach dance and fitness in chicago with two offers already. Do not think she is that interested in Luvabulls except for a hobby if that. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:33:05 04/14/13 Sun ok megan... anyone can be on the deans list when their major is gym and they go to a podunk state school. No intelligence is required to sign a modeling contract either... (NT) -- Anonymous, 14:15:08 04/14/13 Sun Not Megan, this is just a friend that follows pageants. Prayers for the next Miss Illinois. She will need it. Feel so bad for all of the crap these girls have to hear and so much jealousy. (NT) -- Anonymous, 15:57:49 04/14/13 Sun Not jealousy, I think the original poster suggested she could have done any of those things without having the title. Her reign wasnt impressive seems like the other titleholders even at the lical level did more than she did (NT) -- Anonymous, 16:05:55 04/14/13 Sun That is a lie, Megan did a lot this year. "Bitter" Table for One? (NT) -- Anonymous, 17:32:05 04/14/13 Sun so she is going back to grad school then? (NT) -- Anonymous, 20:39:37 04/14/13 Sun We heard she is going to further her education for sure while she has the scholarship help. You have a year to use your scholarship winnings. She is looking in health and fitness. Rumor is medical field too. Good luck to her. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:33:09 04/15/13 Mon lolz she can't even spell on her social media sites what makes you think she is smart enough to pursue medicine? ...Harvard doesn't have a "gym" masters program (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:41:34 04/15/13 Mon I didn't see this post on her Twitter? (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:52:26 04/14/13 Sun What really chaps my ass is that no matter who wins they will get bashed relentlessly. I just don't get why some of these people get so bitter and jealous. Only one person can win and its all subjective!!! Why take it so serious! It's a frickin pageant. Be a bigger person. Hold your head high and support whoever wins. (NT) -- Anonymous, 18:07:21 04/14/13 Sun it's not megan's fault she comes from a podunk uneducated background. what is sad to me is that she actually thinks she has talent in regards to dance. :/ She will find out the hard way she is too short to model let alone too beefy. They want a 5'10 size 0 not a 5'6 girl who says she is 5'8 and is a size 6.please tell me what campaigns she has done...oh thats right none. (NT) -- Anonymous, 00:51:22 04/15/13 Mon And you're a disgusting human being. Grow up! (NT) -- Anonymous, 09:29:51 04/15/13 Mon Truth hurts... (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:44:03 04/15/13 Mon I hope that you don't compete in pageants. You're an ugly person. These girls all work their butts off and are beautiful. None of them deserve to be bashed like this. Megan is a sweet girl and has been a great Miss Illinois. (NT) -- Anonymous, 15:44:41 04/15/13 Mon Megan has been a great Miss Illinois but far from sweet. (NT) -- Anonymous, 16:43:48 04/15/13 Mon all i see are talentless unattractive girls vying for a crown in hopes itll change their mediocre life (NT) -- Anonymous, 16:54:47 04/15/13 Mon That is just rude! I am a mother of a former titleholder and although I agree that maybe the caliber of girls has changed let's not bash anyone who gets up there and tries as well as goes out and promotes their platform. These ladies are wonderful. Megan I hope you don't read this. You have done a wonderful job for our state. (NT) -- Anonymous, 06:40:09 04/16/13 Tue

No they are not (NT) -- Anonymous, 22:09:09 04/09/13 Tue christina Hannah has a good chance !! -- Anonymous, 20:06:33 04/10/13 Wed Rayni Lasley does also. (NT) -- Anonymous, 21:29:22 04/10/13 Wed Rayni is beautiful, I hope she does well! How is her talent? (NT) -- Anonymous, 07:03:37 04/11/13 Thu She doesn't... Looks like she threw one together... No threat there... She's cute though (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:51:52 04/11/13 Thu Agreed. Great look, but her talent looked made up on the spot. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:08:38 04/11/13 Thu I agree. What's funny is that the majority of these girls do not have the talent. If they do then they don't have the look. This is why the �top 5 " girls keep running and not winning. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:18:10 04/11/13 Thu Her talent did not look made up on the spot it was a good solid jazz routine. I think some one who lost to her is just jealous! (NT) -- Anonymous, 20:39:12 04/11/13 Thu There are some things in this competition you can �slide by" and people won't notice, talent is not one of them.. People know when it's not good. It's an obvious one. (NT) -- Anonymous, 02:42:45 04/12/13 Fri I'm not going to say her talent was great but it surely wasn't as bad as some that I've seen win a prelim (NT) -- Anonymous, 09:56:13 04/12/13 Fri I guarantee everyone that it will be a good show this year... Lots of new girls who are way better then the old ones who don't win... (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:54:04 04/11/13 Thu I'm excited to see who has improved by the time that state comes around, I'm sure everyone is working on their talent so hopefully certain girls will have improved by then (NT) -- Anonymous, 18:12:58 04/11/13 Thu
