is this a fact, or is someone guessing. I'd hate to hurt the new owner because of a bad guess. Can't she revive this and bring it back? (NT) not sure 04:23:06 11/12/12 Mon

Um, no. There aren't "lots of issues still there." The new director is turning a lot of things around. The only ones still bashing this pageant are the sore losers that didn't take home a crown. Who else would put that much energy into hating? (NT) The issues exist only with the ones that want to keep the pot stirred. You lost. Either come back and try again under the new director, or move on! 21:13:00 11/21/12 Wed

Then lets give the new owner a chance and see how it goes. We need to stop hating AA because of a bad past, and see how the new pageant does this year. It's a decent title, had a good reputation once, even some big names, but that was wiped out with bad directorship. It's in January, so we'll see. (NT) -- good luck to the new director, 02:38:25 11/22/12 Thu

Re: I believe the issues that are still there which is referenced above is the fact that Melissa still owns it and still runs it. Michelle is just her puppet for now. As for haters and bad apples or losers? Check it out for yourself. Formers are not going anywhere near it. Gee, go figure. Come on here all you want Michelle and Melissa and call people names. You've been doing it for years and some of us finally caught on after seeing your hate on emails that you forgot you sent out to mass lists. (NT) -- It is what it is, don't whine when you get taken, 20:20:15 12/13/12 Thu

Michelle is not Melissa's puppet, and I don't believe that she sent out any hateful e-mails. She is a very nice person. There was a lot of ugliness that went on after the last AA pageant by some Geriatric Mean Girls who didn't win. Get a better wardrobe and work on your interview instead of coming on here and bashing. Either compete in the next AA pageant, or move on. But seriously, some of you who didn't win crowns at that last AA pageant really need to step up your game. I apologize if this post sounds harsh, but it's the honest truth. (NT) -- Tired of the haters. Take your loss, learn from it, and improve yourself., 17:46:33 12/14/12 Fri
I'm a former, and I'm still planning to attend. (NT) -- Hmmm..., 17:52:19 12/14/12 Fri

Get some class, ladies. Give Melissa a chance. She is her own person and is trying to be firm and get this thing off the ground. Stop bashing her already. If you didn't win before, then wipe the slate clean and show 'em what you can do. There's no excuse now. New owner, new everything, so stop whining and go try to win it .Show everyone that you should have won before, and then you really have a victory. Stop using Hooks as an excuse for losing. Have you won anything else? (NT) -- we bash even before it happens, 02:36:11 12/15/12 Sat

sorry, meant to say, give MICHELLE a chance. (NT) -- let's watch and see, 02:51:06 12/16/12 Sun

I knew who you meant, and I thought your post was great, especially where you said, "Stop using Hooks as an excuse for losing." (NT) -- Michelle's doing a great job!, 07:40:49 12/16/12 Sun

Re: Every year with various pageant, ladies try to warn others about pageants. As par for the course, a couple of queens and the director bullies, calls them losers, etc. From what I recall, Melissa and Michelle worked hand in hand for years. Decide on your own, contact formers, do your homework. Sheesh (NT) -- typical, 10:55:50 12/20/12 Thu

The ugliness after that last pageant was taken to the extremes. It went on for months, and the comments were the nastiest I've seen. As a reigning queen, I didn't appreciate the ugliness. I had done the pageant once before and didn't win, so when I did win last year I was so excited. Then, I read all of the ugliness on these boards. I had seen ugliness before, but NEVER to that degree. In spite of all the ugliness, I did have a good year, but that's because I'm a very determined person, and I realized that, in the end, the only person I could control is myself. Your ugliness didn't tarnish my crown, but I didn't allow it. (NT) -- A proud All American Queen who made tons of appearances this past year as well as community service, 16:25:47 12/20/12 Thu

*because* I didn't allow it (NT) -- Sorry for the typo, 16:27:00 12/20/12 Thu

and I did the same. But it was downright nasty, all because of a poorly organized pageant. The queens got harassed and it wasn't their fault the thing was awful. They all had to keep their chins up and smile, while the world was bashing their win. This program once had great prestige and was a highly competitive title, but it went to the dogs. Goes to show you how tought it is to keep the integrity and the glory. And many of the so called big ones are following in its footsteps. (NT) -- what's left that is worth it?, 03:29:23 12/21/12 Fri

Actually, it wasn't the world bashing the new queens, but rather a couple of sore losers who would not let up for months. One of them was a geriatric mean girl who is in her 50's. (NT) -- There's always one in every bunch, 21:14:19 12/21/12 Fri

not to mention overweight, bad teeth and shabby wardrobe. Wonder why she didn't win? (NT) -- take a look at yourself sometime, 02:51:34 12/23/12 Sun

Ha ha! You know exactly who I'm talking about. (NT) -- No name needed. She throws a hissy fit after every pageant. The only time she has won is when no one was against her., 11:56:22 12/23/12 Sun
