Date Posted: 11:20:53 08/12/13 Mon In reply to: 's message, "Okay really this is ridiculous. We can say how we think Jenna will do in Atlantic city. And that is not well if she doesn't make some changes." on 11:09:51 08/12/13 Mon >>Just looking through here I find it sad that the focus >>of the discussion is running down our current Miss >>Kentucky. Why is that? I get discussion but wow it's >>really really sad to see. >>Has anyone even remembered we have at this moment >>Laura Hancock competing at MAOT? Being curious I >>looked at other states Miss/OT message boards, FB >>pages, Instagrams and Tweets of which we have all for >>both contestants. The support for other states is so >>nice to see. Photos, well wishes, lots and lots of >>support. No, it's not every state, of course, but it >>is such an amazing thing to see. I so often hear " I >>made life long friends" " The sisterhood" , " pageant >>girls are so much different than the stero type". >>Well, where is that here in KY. Are these disparaging >>posts bitter contestants, mother and friends? Why, >>Why can't we rise above the pettiness and be like >>those states that draw a deep pool of to choose from >>of amazing competitors and have another National Title >>again? Perhaps, it's because our KY girls are like the >>mean spirited, petty, shallow stereo type? To read it >>here it would seem so. >>I understand this board is for discussion and not >>everyone is going to love every contestant but where >>is the support. This is just a vicious, nasty place to >>say horrible horrible things. Shame on you girls. >>If, as I suspect it is sour grape contestants or >>Mothers is this what you want for yourself if/when >>your win? Is this your real character? The answer we >>hear so often when asked on stage " what is character" >>is " who you are when no one else is looking " well >>here it is. No one is looking and this is who you are >>MEAN and NASTY. >>Mostly this just makes me sad for what is says for KY. >> Sure this is not the official mouthpiece for our >>state but not seeing much on the official sites >>either. Nothing on the social media sites for >>promotion or support. >>Please KY lets rise to the occasion and support our >>girls. We know we can't win every year and maybe >>this year isn't our year but since we have all >>subjected ourselves or our daughters to be in a system >>that uses judges can't we abide by the decision and >>move forward. You don't have to like it but do you >>have to pour acid on the girl who bested you? >>Get up and go put a well wish on the MKOT FB page for >>Laura. Post a shout out to her on your Twitter or on >>the MKOT one. Be better. Be better for the State you >>say you want to represent. Come on Kentucky be the >>sweet state the one where girls say no matter what >>it's a great place to represent because I know I have >>support. Be that sisterhood that girls truly have for >>life!! >>Just a thought!! Give Jenna and Laura some clear and >>lifting support. Next year it might be you! The point wasn't that people shouldn't discuss. But read the posts they are mean. Honestly they are mean. Mean spirited. And Jenna not going to MKOT does make the point not a lot of support for our girls. The criticism far out weighs the support. Obviously Jenna looked good enough, interviewed well enough and performed talent better than the rest on MK night as did Laura. I am just stating it is sad to see overwhelming hostility and criticism for these girls and it looks bad for our state. Be critical all you want. Have at it. Just looks mean and petty instead of supportive. Don't want to be supportive then why do you have to be so unkind. There are plenty of ways to critique with out showing such a nasty bitter side. I see other states whose girls truly have an appearance of sisterhood and they seem to be winning programs with lots of support all the way around. I think we could learn from them and build our girls up to win instead of focusing on tearing them down. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
