Please post updates/corrections. Thank you. (NT) -- PageantGuru, 23:47:30 11/11/14 Tue Akron-Canton is next pageant season. (NT) -- So not competing at State June 2015, but the following season., 03:39:52 11/12/14 Wed Several more locals have been posted on the Miss Ohio website, including sweeps. (NT) -- No name, 12:48:34 11/15/14 Sat Other locals added: Miss Shawnee, Miss Portsmouth, Miss Oxford and if all 6 sweeps titles are filled they'll be Miss Ohio River, Miss Capital City, Miss Buckeye State, Miss Heart of Ohio, Miss Indian Trail and Miss Mohican Valley (NT) -- No name, 21:41:34 11/16/14 Sun Thanks (NT) -- No name, 01:46:39 11/17/14 Mon Does anyone have dates for the remaining titles? (NT) -- No name, 19:26:09 12/05/14 Fri http://missohio.org/miss-ohio/2014-15-preliminary-pageants/ (NT) -- No name, 12:23:44 12/06/14 Sat Thanks (NT) -- No name, 04:21:00 12/09/14 Tue Miss Mansfield and Miss North Central Ohio have been canceled. The six titles of Miss Buckeye State, Capital City, Heart of Ohio, Indian Trail, Mohican Valley, and Ohio River were all sweeps titles. Since the State License is up for bid, it is up to the new organization, whoever that is, as to whether they will hold a sweeps pageant. If not, that leaves Ohio with 16 girls competing for the State crown. (NT) -- No name, 12:23:41 01/01/15 Thu Thanks for the update. (NT) -- No name, 13:19:39 01/01/15 Thu In that case, it might be best to have a one night pageant so the savings could be targeted to scholarships or to build a monetary reserve for coming years. (NT) -- No name, 01:44:20 01/02/15 Fri Montgomery county Caity Jackson actually competed in Kentucky last year (NT) -- No name, 14:25:36 01/01/15 Thu She also competed in OOT (NT) -- No name, 16:14:26 01/01/15 Thu Sad to see numbers going down, especially if those 6 titles aren't added. Who are the front runners this year? (NT) -- No name, 18:25:51 01/04/15 Sun Miss Ohio (NT) -- Someone is going to have big shoes to fill !, 19:24:50 01/04/15 Sun Gabby Bailey was Top 10 and Grand Talent winner in 2012. (NT) -- No name, 13:53:38 01/08/15 Thu any word on who is running the state? (NT) -- No name, 08:54:30 01/22/15 Thu Jay Jesensky, according to the Miss America website. (NT) -- PageantGuru, 15:05:26 01/22/15 Thu MAO fired him and they have accepted applications from others. Deadline was earlier this month. (NT) -- No name, 15:33:15 01/22/15 Thu Neither DE nor NM have anyone listed; OH does. (NT) -- PageantGuru, 15:35:55 01/22/15 Thu I sure hope they gave it back to Jay. He's been wonderful for the program! (NT) -- No name, 15:44:54 01/22/15 Thu Jay is indeed a great guy and very capable. I would be OK with him having it back, but NOT OK with the former group. I am aware of another group of great people whom I would also be happy with. I think it would be great to go with a totally clean slate. On the other hand (and I will be tortured for this), I wouldn't mind having Denny K. and his group back. (NT) -- No name, 15:51:36 01/22/15 Thu Jay is the interim e.d. The rest of the board was fired, and he's just holding down the fort until they get around to naming a new board. Jay's great - I hope he comes back to work with who ever takes over. (NT) -- No name, 17:22:16 01/22/15 Thu Jay's a nice guy. And Gloria is great too. But I would need an explanation as to where the influx of money the last several years went. Something's off. I think they have good intentions, but as ED and Pres they made the decisions and the numbers don't lie. (NT) -- No name, 20:57:10 01/22/15 Thu You are right JAY is a great guy. (NT) -- No name, 15:02:14 01/23/15 Fri Gabby could well win if she takes off some pounds and changes her hair. Beautiful, talented, intelligent, and very nice girl. (NT) -- No name, 16:31:43 01/23/15 Fri Samantha needs to do her hair like her lovely headshot- with lift and soft curls. Flat works on no one, especially with an angular face. She's by far the best built, but it�s her walk holding her back. Heather Wells ss walk would do the trick. The dance is a little too pose and point. She�s not a dancer dancer, so she needs to make up for it with plenty of moxie and FUN!! (NT) -- No name, 19:14:13 01/23/15 Fri She HAS made up for it with Moxie and fun. She paid a lot of money to get this but it still isn't working. I am wondering what is holding her back. She is an articulate young woman with reasonable beauty and a great body. The talent is charming. Far more charming than our current MA!!! (NT) -- No name, 14:06:53 01/24/15 Sat What do you mean that she spent a lot to make it moxie? (NT) -- No name, 19:02:35 01/24/15 Sat I'm not trying to be argumentative, but really want to see Sam do well. Her talent does not convey moxie and fun, but is very stilted and 'pose and point' vs a ~dance~. She needs to loosen up on stage and trust herself. She still has that wall between her and the audience. Once she lets go, she'll be a force! (NT) -- No name, 21:16:03 01/24/15 Sat Can't wait for Greater Columbus. The largest local in Ohio, and will definitely have some NEW contestants. Heard they have a run way bigger than at state! (NT) -- No name, 18:36:16 01/23/15 Fri The Ohio message board is speculating 15 contestants (NT) -- *, 13:23:24 01/24/15 Sat* Not speculation. Names are listed. Lots of new girls! Looks like they recruited well. (NT) -- No name, 20:17:09 01/24/15 Sat They have more girls that have never done MAO than have competed! Way to recruit! (NT) -- I, 20:54:35 01/24/15 Sat They already posted photos on their website. That was fast. They've got it together! (NT) -- No name, 01:31:55 01/25/15 Sun

I am not sure if it has to do with the pageant falling well after Forum, which is held in February for all competing contestants for state pageant in June. (NT) -- No name, 17:45:04 01/15/15 Thu Okay, I understand. So, Lia won in April of 2014. Thank you for the information!! (NT) -- No name, 23:31:32 01/15/15 Thu Isn't that the way it used to be for all locals in SC? They were on something called the Observer System.

TJ Maxx (NT) -- No name, 14:40:56 01/18/15 Sun Yep, I got two Ivanka Trumps yesterday that I would be happy to wear for interview. Also, the internet is full of options. Nordstroms, Nieman Marcus, NM Last Call, Nordstroms, Nordstrom Rack, Bloomingdales, Lord and Taylor, etc all have websites. Good luck! Non-boring, stylish, and creates a fantastic first impression dresses ARE out there. (NT) -- No name, 16:21:59 01/18/15 Sun When my daughter competed, all of her interview outfits came from Macy's, TJ Maxx Runway section, and Nieman Marcus Last Call. Some of our favorites were by Shelli Segal Laundry. (NT) -- No name, 16:23:03 01/18/15 Sun Saks 5th Ave - they have amazing sales. I never pay full price there. (NT) -- No name, 16:24:00 01/18/15 Sun Nordstrom, Dillards, Macys, Black House White Market, Banana Republic, Joseph Ribkoff (NT) -- No name, 16:41:49 01/18/15 Sun Cach� (NT) -- No name, 01:01:45 01/23/15 Fri I'd nix Cache. I think it's looking really cougar-ish or cheap. Cache's pageant heyday was in the 1990s/early 2000s. It's passed for more fashion forward items. Another vote for Nordstrom, Saks, Off Saks. (NT) -- FlawLESS, 09:03:42 01/23/15 Fri Check out modcloth.com and asos.com too. (NT) -- No name, 09:06:41 01/23/15 Fri Also Ross usually has good deals (NT) -- No name, 12:10:53 01/24/15 Sat banana Republic, Pendleton, Alice + Olivia, Dillard's (NT) -- No name, 13:17:01 01/24/15 Sat i have also found a couple of nice interview dresses on the Forever 21 site. I buy online so the dress won't be shop worn. Calvin Klein makes good interview dresses avail at Nordstrom & Macy on line. Also check Lilly Pulitzer, Trina Turk, Kate Spade. (NT) -- No name, 16:04:01 01/24/15 Sat Are Calvin Klein dresses made in a size smaller than 2? Need a size 0 but can't seem to find it. (NT) -- No name, 17:30:50 01/24/15 Sat No . Size 2 is the smallest . (NT) -- -, 21:24:49 01/24/15 Sat I have bought a Calvin Klein in 2 Petite that fit a girl who normally wears a Ladies 0. It was $89 & was lined. Great for interview with a slight stretch to it so it didn't wrinkle. (NT) -- No name, 23:16:56 01/24/15 Sat

California, here. It seems that much would depend on who they pick to judge. It would be great if MA adopted the method of publishing the scores from the judges, as the Miss USA pageant once did. (NT) -- no name, 02:44:22 01/23/15 Fri NY has a former Miss NYOT who has started competing this year. She will eventually win Miss NY. Her mom or aunt is a former Miss NY as well. (NT) -- No name, 08:54:56 01/23/15 Fri Is that Allison Carlos NYOT '07? Isn't this her last year of eligibility? (NT) -- ., 09:47:11 01/23/15 Fri No, Lauren Molella. Its her first year competing. Not sure if its her first year of eligibility. (NT) -- No name, 10:57:56 01/23/15 Fri Lauren Molella competed for Miss last year and lost to Cat, Sarah Hyreo and Katelynn Smith. She doesn't seem like she has much of a personality.

Please post updates/corrections. Thanks. (NT) -- PageantGuru, 06:54:02 11/25/14 Tue The Twin Rivers title only competes for the Miss Texas crown not the Miss Arkansas crown.

Wonderful to see several Miss Louisiana's Outstanding Teens competing. (NT) -- No name, 03:05:36 11/16/14 Sun Rumor is that April Nelson (LAOT 2008) will be competing in LA after the first of the year, so we could have four former LAOTs, the most former Teen winners competing in one year since 2007. (NT) -- No name, 18:23:03 12/04/14 Thu That is wonderful news. I find it so interest that in some states like LA, the OTs love to return; but in some states, they never return. (NT) -- No name, 18:27:16 12/04/14 Thu Congratulations to the new Miss LA Tech (NT) -- No name, 06:11:48 01/12/15 Mon Miss Louisiana Tech is Eva Edinger.

Miss Guam (former MAO contestant Brittany Bell) (NT) -- No name, 23:32:42 01/22/15 Thu Brittany's gown is stunning in the larger photo. I remember her from Miss CA. (NT) -- No name, 12:03:46 01/23/15 Fri Don't know her, but she looks gorgeous. (NT) -- No name, 00:32:00 01/24/15 Sat She was my local titleholder the last year I was an ED, and she has the open, caring personality to be a great Miss Universe. She's very grounded (and gorgeous) and a genuinely nice, caring person. She gave me some awesome framed vintage MAO photos as a thank you gift when she took me and my Associate ED out for dinner when she gave up her title. And she was a champ at getting sponsors. Brittany is the real deal - it will be interesting to see if she gets anywhere on Sunday, since she's on no one's radar on the Miss Universe message boards. (NT) -- Ernie, 02:21:32 01/24/15 Sat Ernie, I have several "non sash" ladies in my 15. And I am hoping they get the call. And while I adore France and hope she wins, she is not over the top like some of the contestants but very elegant and her wardrobe has been so spot on I have Brittany in my 15-18 as I can't quite narrow it down yet. Would love to see some sash go by the trash can this year. (NT) -- No name, 10:19:34 01/24/15 Sat I've read a couple of the Miss Universe message boards recently, and some of the front runners they all seem to agree on are total WTFs to me. If people think there's a sash factor in MA, then I think it must be 20 times greater based on some of the high rankings for traditionally strong Miss Universe countries. Then again, I've only had very limited dealings with USA/Universe and I have always been dumbfounded by the results. I have always assumed it was about "who's the prettiest?" but like I say, in the few Miss CA USA pageants I've seen, I would never have picked the winners or half of the semi-finalists. (NT) -- Ernie, 20:53:30 01/24/15 Sat Look at her gorgeously sculpted arms! Wow! (NT) -- HCS, 09:53:42 01/24/15 Sat I agree. And that EG is absolutely beautiful. (NT) -- No name, 21:21:03 01/24/15 Sat Miss USA (NT) -- No name, 23:41:03 01/22/15 Thu Is red the official color for Miss USA at Miss Universe now? (NT) -- No name, 00:16:30 01/23/15 Fri This gown doesn't seem to fit exactly right around the boobs. Love the bottom of the gown. (NT) -- No name, 12:05:51 01/23/15 Fri That gown fits her to a T! What are you talking about? (NT) -- No name, 06:53:19 01/24/15 Sat This gown was designed by Michael Costello, who was a contestant on Project Runway a couple of years ago. (NT) -- No name, 00:17:18 01/24/15 Sat Oh. That explains why it looks so bad. (NT) -- No name, 00:26:54 01/24/15 Sat I love this gown, the stripes and the color. I also liked her costume. She is beautiful. (NT) -- No name, 09:40:05 01/24/15 Sat Just on the basis of what looked good to me, I thought Miss Egypt was the tops! But I know next to nothing about EGs. (NT) -- no name, 02:38:23 01/23/15 Fri You certainly don't if you chose Egypt. She is on nobody's radar. (NT) -- No name, 02:57:29 01/23/15 Fri MY PREDICTION--a tossup among Guyana, Spain, and Australia for the crown. (NT) -- No name, 08:18:19 01/23/15 Fri Last year the Miss USA Organization almost RUINED the lovely Erin Brady (putting her in that pinball machine for a national costume and that trite Sherri Hill red gown)--if Erin had worn that green gown she wore when she gave up her crown, she might have finished a lot higher than 6th place. (NT) -- No name, 08:21:02 01/23/15 Fri I don't want to predict. I just want to look at the EG pics. (NT) -- No name, 12:02:13 01/23/15 Fri Egypt (NT) -- No name, 13:55:58 01/23/15 Fri Guyana (NT) -- No name, 13:57:11 01/23/15 Fri Spain (NT) -- No name, 13:59:57 01/23/15 Fri Australia (NT) -- No name, 14:01:36 01/23/15 Fri Don't care for Egypt, Spain, Canada, or Australia gowns (NT) -- No name, 00:27:48 01/24/15 Sat I too thought Egypts gown looked fantastic, especially while moving. The picture here doesn't do it justice (NT) -- No name, 06:56:07 01/24/15 Sat Some of the gowns are way over the top, too much going on. Some are stunning! You WILL see knock offs in TB and SH's line next season! (NT) -- No name, 08:22:27 01/23/15 Fri It won't be TB since he is no longer with Mon Cheri but SH has been doing it since she started. (NT) -- No name, 09:54:19 01/23/15 Fri Amen!! (NT) -- USA, 10:20:01 01/23/15 Fri When did TB leave Mon Cheri and how does that affect his partnership with MAO? (NT) -- No name, 10:20:14 01/23/15 Fri Singapore - Best Gown Without a Doubt (NT) -- No name, 14:04:11 01/23/15 Fri I want this one. (NT) -- No name, 17:08:08 01/23/15 Fri Seriously? I think she's trying to fool the judges into believing she's from Latin America, since they always seem to dominate this thing. (NT) -- No name, 02:03:10 01/24/15 Sat Based on these gown pics I like Guam and USA the best, with Spain third (only because her gown isn't very original.) Also love Guyana. Overall, I think it would be great for a country like Guyana to win because they're not one of the "usual suspects." I'm kinda shocked at some of the contestants that are considered front runners on boards like Global Beauties and USB. It's like there's this huge group-think mentality where everyone picks the same girls, and some of them aren't even attractive or fi, but they are from countiries that traditionally do well (Philippines, Venezuela, Russia, Colombia.) Very strange! (NT) -- Ernie, 02:10:08 01/24/15 Sat

Will this pageant by online? I watched it online 3 or 4 years ago. (NT) -- No name, 21:52:31 01/06/15 Tue The contestants for Miss Boston/Miss Cambridge are up on the website. Some gorgeous girls up there. (NT) -- No name, 21:57:47 01/06/15 Tue The pageant will not be broadcast online this year. Local and state pageants may only broadcast if they give a script to the state/national organization a long time in advance of the pageant. This is impossible in most cases, and the quality is never good. But tickets are $30 in advance at www.missboston2015.eventbrite.com I hope you will attend the pageant in person if possible, or follow us live facebooking the event at facebook.com/missamericaboston (NT) -- Dustin Rennells, Executive Director of Miss Boston/ Cambridge, 17:58:37 01/12/15 Mon TY for answering my question and inviting me to the pageant. I can't attend the Miss Boston pageant, because I live way down in the deep south. But I will try to keep up on FB. (NT) -- No name, 19:45:45 01/12/15 Mon They have an incredible show every year. Great team. (NT) -- No name, 00:03:44 01/07/15 Wed 2/8/15 - Miss Boston & Miss Cambridge (NT) -- No name, 02:55:39 01/07/15 Wed I see several attractive contestants in the following link. (NT) -- No name, 22:07:27 01/13/15 Tue Boston_Cambridge Contestants (NT) -- No name, 02:59:22 01/07/15 Wed SH - She will take a title. -- Former State Titleholder, 13:05:06 01/07/15 Wed But will not make it to Miss America by way of MA either. (NT) -- No name, 13:34:40 01/07/15 Wed I don't know. She's going to have to get past the MIT girl from last year, and the child prodigy. Should be a great competition though. -- good luck, 16:21:37 01/07/15 Wed Who is the prodigy? (NT) -- No name, 16:57:20 01/07/15 Wed BE. Went to Harvard at 14, and transferred to UPenn to graduate at 19, an Engineer, with 3 minors. -- good luck, 17:53:18 01/07/15 Wed What is her talent? (NT) -- No name, 18:14:32 01/07/15 Wed She's a dancer. (NT) -- good luck, 18:16:57 01/07/15 Wed Is there a reason that all we get are initials? What's the girl's name? (NT) -- No name, 06:26:41 01/08/15 Thu Not a formal one, but I just followed suit to the poster who started the conversation. We are having a lively comparison between the very popular, at least on this board, former 2013 Miss Maryland 1st runner up, Samantha Hawkins and the child genius, Brittney Exline. I was expressing my opinion about how neither should think that they have this local title in the bag, but there seems to be some resistance to the idea. (NT) -- good luck, 09:23:41 01/08/15 Thu The names, platforms, schools and photos are online on our website http://missboston.org/PeoplesChoice.html as well as a few other pages of the website. Please check out the contestants and vote for people's choice! (NT) -- Dustin Rennells, Executive Director of Miss Boston/ Cambridge, 18:00:52 01/12/15 Mon I disagree. SH is one of the strong best competitors I have ever seen in the MAO. I believe she will be this years Miss MA. (NT) -- Perfect body, amazing interviewer and a very talented piano player, 22:32:21 01/07/15 Wed Is she a good interviewee? That's what gets the points. (NT) -- No name, 22:59:37 01/07/15 Wed Well, from everything I have seen, BE has lived her life in front of the camera and is a paid speaker. Sounds like interview to me. I just love to see a good competition. I never believe anybody has it in the bag. (NT) -- good luck, 00:18:22 01/08/15 Thu She had interview coaching. She also won the interview award at Sweetheart in 2013. If I were to say one person had a title, it would be her. (NT) -- No name, 16:09:07 01/08/15 Thu I am sure that she has invested a lot of time, money, and effort perfecting and manicuring her very well executed soft skills, but to assume that the time and effort by others was not as invested, is a little premature. I am certain that she is at least in the top 3, but,I am not ready to title her up just yet. She is impressive, but so are others. (NT) -- good luck, 16:57:07 01/08/15 Thu Remember that time everyone said Meagan Fuller was going to win Miss Mass and then got 3rd runner up? I do. (NT) -- No name, 15:23:24 01/23/15 Fri Are you ignorant? The girl got a full PHD scholarship to harvard BE does not have a PHD (NT) -- Sam fan, 10:09:36 01/13/15 Tue I am more than happy to have a friendly debate about skill sets and competitiveness, but we don't have to resort to name calling. I never said that I wasn't impressed by SH, I just said that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. (NT) -- good luck, 16:18:45 01/13/15 Tue Who cares if you have straight A's and a scholarship to Harvard if you're socially inept. Sick of this elitist Harvard talk. It's not all about where you attend school and how many letters follow your name. (NT) -- No name, 08:13:54 01/14/15 Wed Different poster here. I think you're the one who's ignorant if you think the Harvard name is what qualifies a girl to have a great interview and be Miss State. There are a lot of Ivy Leaguers who can't speak their way out of a paper bag (NT) -- No name, 09:31:23 01/17/15 Sat Well, proof of this is our current doofus Miss America. In the top five was Miss Massachusetts, an extraordinary pianist and a dental student. Not terribly beautiful, but neither is Kira. That taken with her cup routine makes me wonder what the hell is going on. Miss Mass would have brought respectability back to the title, as would others in the top 5/10. (NT) -- NOT from Massachusetts, 14:16:27 01/23/15 Fri Thanks for the Boston_Cambridge contestants link. (NT) -- No name, 18:32:03 01/07/15 Wed http://missboston.org/PeoplesChoice.html Here is a comprehensive list of the ladies competing for Miss Boston/ Miss Cambridge on 2/8/15 at Sheraton Boston Hotel. Please be kind and respectful when expressing your love for your favorite contestant. They all put tons of work into competing and I hope you will build them up, not criticize them here, publicly. Thank you. (NT) -- Dustin Rennells, Executive Director of Miss Boston/ Cambridge, 17:55:43 01/12/15 Mon Dustin - Hopefully everyone will be "kind and respectful". we forget at times how hard these young people work. (NT) -- No name, 20:48:14 01/12/15 Mon Sam has the best chance to actually place at Miss A, Britt DOES NOT. I've met both (NT) -- Titleholder, 10:13:58 01/13/15 Tue They can both win this local with two crowns. (NT) -- No name, 10:37:06 01/13/15 Tue Agreed. I am also impressed with KK, the MIT girl too. I just appreciate a good competition. Say one thing that does not mesh with others, and people come out in full force. Such passion from this group. I really can't wait to see the pageant. (NT) -- good luck, 16:29:49 01/13/15 Tue KK is missing something. She wont win Boston, and she might have a hard time winning another local with all these new girls...same with a few other of last years girls........ (NT) -- No name, 14:06:07 01/23/15 Fri Kira is too smart for her own good. The MIT vocab she uses doesn't translate well in interview because the judges are never bright (NT) -- No name, 15:01:24 01/23/15 Fri What is she missing? I've never seen her compete (NT) -- No name, 15:24:35 01/23/15 Fri I was most impressed with Sabrina Ponte (NT) -- No name, 22:10:08 01/13/15 Tue How did the girls look at orientation? Front-runners?

(NT) -- No name, 22:29:47 01/23/15 Fri I think the poster was thinking of Grenada, the country lol to the original poster, she was in Grenada, MS, not Grenada, the country :) (NT) -- MsS♥, 22:45:57 01/23/15 Fri Understandable mistake. If you're going to post such things on a national MB, please take into account that many of us are unaware that there is a city in your state named after a more well known country. (NT) -- yes, I'm sure it wasn't named after the actual country and that it's history goes back to pre-civil war days, but was just making a point, 23:43:28 01/23/15 Fri I'm not from Mississippi--far from it---and I knew what they were talking about. (NT) -- No name, 11:21:56 01/24/15 Sat Why hand on hip in every pic? (NT) -- No name, 03:40:19 01/24/15 Sat Why not ? (NT) -- No name, 06:51:09 01/24/15 Sat OK, she didn't have to win but couldn't she have been in the top five???? (NT) -- No name, 07:43:41 01/24/15 Sat Why not just be accepting that you crowned a "great Miss State"? Some Miss States go home after Miss America and are not present. They are not active. be HAPPY that you have an active involved Miss Mississippi who is out there furthering your program. Instead of whining about how she did not progress. (NT) -- No name, 10:16:23 01/24/15 Sat Loosen up. Not saying that her being a great Miss State isn't enough. Just wishing she had progressed. Not whining. (NT) -- No name, 11:16:45 01/24/15 Sat Perhaps you need to see how you come across what 5 months later. (NT) -- No name, 14:44:40 01/24/15 Sat Perhaps you need to see how you come across right now. (NT) -- No name, 20:29:51 01/24/15 Sat I believe Miss Murray has proven to be an incredible Miss Mississippi and representative for the MAO. Very proud of her!!!!!!! (NT) -- No name, 08:39:51 01/24/15 Sat She has one of those faces where I could easily see her chubby one day if she's not careful (NT) -- No name, 10:11:27 01/24/15 Sat What does a face shape have to do with becoming chubby? She has high cheekbones and wide set eyes - both considered signs of beauty. While I am not a big fan of hers I think your comment is without merit. Even if she weighs 200 pounds a year from now, it will have nothing to do with her face. (NT) -- No name, 12:27:56 01/24/15 Sat Not from MS and don't know this girl, however in my opinion she is way prettier than the reigning Miss A and is in a TOTALLY different league than the reigning when talking talent. Simply saying - this is fact. Can we go back to the glory days when we crowned truly deserving winners and not the odd ball who sticks out as different. I guess I will put down my red solo cup and step down from my soap box! (NT) -- No name, 11:31:27 01/24/15 Sat Got some nostalgia-colored glasses on there... There has always been hoopla over the winner. (NT) -- No name, 12:12:45 01/24/15 Sat It's killing MAO. KILLING US!!! We know that beauty . (NT) -- No name, 14:41:02 01/24/15 Sat We know that beauty is subjective and we know how judging is done, but the general public does not and they have an expectation of what and who a Miss America is. We need to get back to that too. (NT) -- No name, 14:42:06 01/24/15 Sat Never really got her! Agree with the poster that said her hand is on her hip in almost every picture. While she may be talented, that's all I ever got from her! Way over hyped.I agree she was better than the current Miss America, so were about 40 other girls. (NT) -- No name, 12:22:27 01/24/15 Sat AMEN, but not a Miss America (NT) -- No name, 14:03:06 01/24/15 Sat I'm not a fan of Kira, but she is way better than this girl. This board hyped her up so much before Miss America and any one who criticized her was insulted. Well it's been 5 months and this girl still didn't win. When do we crown a new Miss Mississippi so we don't have to see this girl anymore? (NT) -- Your girl didn't win, move on!, 15:10:25 01/24/15 Sat What specifically is better? (NT) -- No name, 15:16:46 01/24/15 Sat Would like to know too. She is prettier, more talented, and has more personality than the winner. (NT) -- Homely judges picked a homely Miss America., 16:34:33 01/24/15 Sat Pretty as what....as in drag queen! Personality is questionable! (NT) -- No name, 18:06:07 01/24/15 Sat Jasmine has star quality. Begone with all you negative nellies. (NT) -- No name, 15:44:13 01/24/15 Sat She and Miss America always wear black. Gosh, you get stuck wearing black for over 40 and the rest of your life (NT) -- Can we see color!, 18:55:58 01/24/15 Sat

Always. Social media is HUGE. (NT) -- No name, 01:05:10 01/21/15 Wed Are they looking for good qualities on social media or are they making sure they are what the day or possibly both? (NT) -- No name, 01:23:21 01/21/15 Wed I absolutely look. (NT) -- No name, 01:56:05 01/21/15 Wed When I've judged local pageants, I didn't know contestant names until I arrived. At that point, too late. It's not like I'm going to sit on my phone during their interview to search for them. (NT) -- FlawLESS, 08:59:14 01/21/15 Wed Locals (at least the ones I've dealt with) send out Contestant books at least a week prior to the pageant. The judges must have time to read and review their applications and platform statements, and prepare related interview questions. That can't be done properly just walking in that morning, so I call BS on not knowing Contestant names until you arrive at the pageant. Judges have the girls names prior. I don't google stalk them. (NT) -- It's the EDs job to vet the contestants and advise them to clean up their social media accounts before the pageant., 10:32:15 01/21/15 Wed I've always been given a book that morning. (NT) -- FlawLESS, 12:40:25 01/21/15 Wed You can call BS all you want. Nearly every local I've judged over the last few years has given me the contestant paperwork either the night before the pageant (if I'm traveling from out of state) or that morning. Happens far, far more often than you think. (NT) -- No name, 13:12:49 01/21/15 Wed The last few locals I've judged, I've gotten the book the night before or the morning of... (NT) -- No name, 12:40:59 01/22/15 Thu Heavens NO! If you are a judge and you do, get a frickin life! (NT) -- No name, 09:40:45 01/21/15 Wed The whole world has a frickin' life now. Social media is the forum most young adults use to get a message across. The contestants who use social media should be concerned about how they may be perceived by the judges; but they are sending an even stronger message to their professional and social peers. (NT) -- No name, 18:24:26 01/22/15 Thu State and national judges absolutely. The lists are web based and the books with the information are given to the judges weeks in advance. When I've judges a state pageant I go to Facebook first, Instagram second, LinkedIn third, Pinterest fourth, Twitter fifth, and lastly I Google the contestant and their platform. I take notes and add that to the binder or book I was given about the contestants and ideas for questions. I already have current event question ideas for everyone on a separate sheet. So contestants directors parents be warned: lying or embellishing will bite you in the bum. Trashy or inappropriate photos on Instagram or Facebook or Twitter will be seen. Suddenly becoming a devout Christian when a month ago you were drunk and doing Jell-O shots at the bar might not come across so great. It might cause you to be ranked 4th runner up because I view you as unsuitable to be the titleholder. (NT) -- A state judge (Things to think about), 09:49:50 01/21/15 Wed So what about the girls who have protected their social media? What if you have to be friends with them to see it? (NT) -- Do you friend them? I'm way too old to compete, but my information is protected as I would hope a young attractive girl would do to., 10:34:46 01/21/15 Wed I think it is 100% inappropriate for a judge to add a girl on Facebook. As a contestant I have reached out to judges afterwards for insight (taking it with a grain of salt), but it would cross way too many lines for a judge to add a girl. Before or after a pageant. If a girl is private, she has that right. If she is not, then she is putting it out there for the world to see, why cant a judge? (NT) -- No name, 11:51:55 01/21/15 Wed To be able to directly message someone, you have to be friends. Otherwise, it goes into the 'other' file, which most people don't even realize is there. FB friend them, send a message and get your feedback, then defriend them. (NT) -- No name, 20:54:32 01/21/15 Wed Not always the case. It only goes to "other" if you have no connections. If youre from the same area, have mutual friends, or have checked into the same spot, Facebook assumed you know the person. (NT) -- No name, 12:57:44 01/22/15 Thu Thanks, didn't know that. I'm thinking a judge just may not be 'connected'. (NT) -- No name, 20:41:31 01/22/15 Thu I've advised young ladies to revised their privacy settings and to also cleanup their social medias. All of them. Judges and prospective employers, grad school committees most certainly do indeed vet applicants, prospective employees, and contestants. Change your settings to the most restrictive. Don't allow yourself to be tagged in photos without approval, or any post without approval. Don't allow yourself to be checked in without approval. Disable location services, you don't want anyone to be able to stalk you if you become a Miss State or public figure. And yes it does happen, no I'm not overreacting. Some of our formers have had legitimate legal stalkers. It is a very scary thing. Make all of your photos viewable either (a) by family and yourself or (b) by yourself only and selectively share photos. Be very careful with a "titleholder page" and what information you choose to put out there. (NT) -- Original state judge, 08:56:24 01/22/15 Thu I would never friend them. But I google their platforms, their universities, their names and everything possible about them. A good judge has many connections. Most ladies have a titleholder page, or a Pinterest haha. But I always wonder about ones who have everything on lockdown. Makes you want to call in the reinforcements. (NT) -- OSJ, 09:00:29 01/22/15 Thu If there privacy setting is private, that is even better (NT) -- bmk, 11:05:16 01/21/15 Wed I absolutely understand researching girls on social media, role model... I was wondering, if there is additional information about them that was not shared on their resume or statement, but was in their social media, is it fair to ask about it? Just curious. (NT) -- good luck, 12:21:59 01/21/15 Wed A girl in my state had won a title in a different system and the judge asked her what the judging criteria was for that system for her to win. Also noted she was at an ethnic festival in one of her pictures and asked if she was that ethnicity. (NT) -- No name, 13:00:52 01/21/15 Wed NO. I also think if you are Facebook friends you shouldn't be able to judge that girl. (NT) -- nnn, 14:16:19 01/21/15 Wed As a judge, I would never FB friend any contestant. I also dislike when a contestant friends me after the pageant. It always follows a request for a critique, which is against the rules. (NT) -- No name, 08:45:32 01/22/15 Thu A question I have asked often in interview: If I were to Google you or search your Facebook right now, what would I find? I've gotten MANY looks of panic! As a judge, I usually won't spend the time Googling each contestant, but if they list a blog or website address in connection to their platform for example, I will take a quick look. Or if I see anything that I think is "off", I might tuen to the internet to see if I could verify or clarify. (NT) -- ., 13:42:48 01/22/15 Thu Well, they obviously didn't Google Kira's social media -- for a women who claimed sorority membership when she won Miss New York, the local chapter at Hofstra AND the national organization was SILENT. That alone, should have raised a huge red glad for the MAO. (NT) -- No name, 20:20:25 01/22/15 Thu FLAG, not glad ! (NT) -- No name, 20:25:07 01/22/15 Thu How can the MAO or NY judges know what they aren't told? If the local sorority and the national organization were silent = didn't tell anyone, how is anyone to know? If it's true she claimed sorority membership at state (I would think her verifying it in OSQ is the only way someone here would know she did It's not like the general public has access to her paperwork. Or was it in her bio? Maybe they didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything, so it was a non issue??? (NT) -- maybe x 100, 20:49:55 01/22/15 Thu Alpha Phi was on her Miss New York 2014 press kit -- even when she wa kicked out in 2013. The point is: Alpha Phi would have been ALL OVER social media when she won Miss New York and Miss America when she won and they were silent. That is truly a huge red flag when a sorority doesn't congratulate a winner! (NT) -- No name, 15:09:29 01/23/15 Fri Yeah, and she only removed the "alpha Phi" on her press kit bio when the hazing became public. (NT) -- No name, 15:18:06 01/23/15 Fri But she was in the sorority. (NT) -- No name, 15:36:58 01/23/15 Fri She was NOT a member of Alpha Phi when she was crowned Miss New York in May 2014 and hadn't been for over a year. Yet, she kept it on her bio, NY press kit and into the MA pageant. She win state and MA and Alpha Phi doesn't even make a congratulatory post. Spend five minutes on social media and every sorority with a winners at even the local level is announcing it far and wide. When Alpha Phi said NOTHING in May 2014, that should have raised questions. Miss New York State and MAO either is clueless or looked the other way. (NT) -- No name, 14:23:17 01/24/15 Sat I've judged many locals, and I never look up the contestants online. I want my impression to be fresh and unadulterated, like the audience's. (NT) -- Devotia Joy Bagelman, 21:22:22 01/22/15 Thu Same here! (NT) -- It's not a witch hunt., 04:29:05 01/23/15 Fri Same here. It's up to their directors to do the digging if it's important to them. It would go against my ethics to know anything beforehand that might influence me. I stayed off the boards when I found out I was judging a state pageant.. (NT) -- No name, 10:26:02 01/23/15 Fri Good to know that there are still some judges who follow a code of ethics. I've seen girls who do well (and thus become "Threats" ) suddenly get ripped to shreds on our state message board. All kinds of vicious rumors get started and it would be awful for a judge to have an incorrect preconceived notion that the girl can't even defend! (NT) -- No name, 10:45:06 01/23/15 Fri I find this discussion to be a very mixed bag. I have noticed that some directors encourage judges to look the girls up, but some do not receive information until their arrival on pageant weekend. (NT) -- Who has the advantage? - good luck, 15:40:32 01/23/15 Fri The OP wasn't suggesting judges look at the Voy Boards, which I agree should be avoided by any judge. But publicly posted by the contestant like FB, etc- fair game. (NT) -- No name, 18:33:39 01/23/15 Fri Well I originaly learned about the boards from googling my daughter's name. As a new local winner her director suggested we google her and see what came up since all of her social media was private. I now wonder if she did that on purpose because one of the first things that came up was a link to our state board. What an eye opener. We all know they know the boards exist, and hopefully they aren't tempted to read, but just as I was, it's hard to resist when it's put right in front of your face. (NT) -- No name, 20:07:49 01/24/15 Sat Absolutely, just like a future employer would do (NT) -- No name, 15:54:42 01/23/15 Fri But you're not their future employer. (NT) -- No name, 17:55:41 01/23/15 Fri No, and the contestant doesnt have to be on Facebook or Twitter either (NT) -- No name, 23:43:36 01/23/15 Fri Actually you are. (NT) -- No name, 14:43:20 01/24/15 Sat Since these girls are in fact applying for a position as a spokesperson for MAO, then indirectly, yes, a judge is a future employer. (NT) -- *, 11:48:54 01/24/15 Sat*

Subject: Miss Universe...
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:24:08 01/24/15 Sat Just for fun, go to MissUniverse.com and watch the presentation show, when all 88 contestants showed off their swimsuits and evening gowns. The current Miss Universe, a Venezuelana, is a presenter and botches the English language, to a charming and humorous effect. Spain is my winner, Jamaica-1RU, Ukraine-2RU, Colombia-3RU, Argentina-4RU, Top 10-Dominican Republic, France, Great Britain, India, Philippines, Donald's 5 wildcards-Australia, Canada, Lithuania, USA, Venezuela. Watch the presentation show, make your predictions here, and we can see if we can cross-platform our pageant knowledge. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

You know Americans expect everyone who lives here for awhile to speak the language. Miss Universe is an INTERNATIONAL pageant. How many languages do you speak fluently? I think she did a wonderful job. (NT) -- No name, 19:37:17 01/24/15 Sat

Miss Metropolitan is former MIOT Brianna DeCamp. She won over 3 former Miss IN top 5 finalists and 5 other Miss IN veterans from previous years. This local was filled with experienced, talent contestants. (NT) -- No name, 21:46:13 11/16/14 Sun That was quite the local competition with lots of suprises. Going to be an interesting year in Indiana. (NT) -- No name, 10:10:41 11/17/14 Mon Who were the former top 5 contestants from Miss IN she beat? (NT) -- No name, 10:44:48 11/17/14 Mon Morgan Grady (2014 - 3RU & SS prelim) - she finished with the NF-Interview, Rose McClimans (2014 - 4RU & Talent prelim) - she didn't place; Megan Thwaits (2012 - 4RU, 2014 - Top10, Interview & SS prelim winner) - didn't place. (NT) -- No name, 11:38:47 11/17/14 Mon Whoa! Unbelievable! Sounds like Indiana has a new star! (NT) -- No name, 13:24:38 11/17/14 Mon My first thought was who was on the local judging panel for Miss Metropolitan. State judges (if judges chair does their job properly) are unbiased in that they don't know any of the girls/favorites, don't know their past pageant records, and are not influenced or aware of local politics. I say this knowing NOTHING about the Miss Metropolitan pageant or the contestants, but knowing locals are a different breed than state. Also, girls typically don't prep as rigorously for locals as for state, allowing for the girl that works the hardest to win. (NT) -- No name, 12:18:44 12/06/14 Sat Metro has had a pretty good track record and will be in the mix come state. (NT) -- No name, 15:31:24 12/06/14 Sat Interested to hear people's thoughts on Miss Indiana locals so far. There have been unexpected results! (NT) -- No name, 19:13:07 11/30/14 Sun So far we've seen the same girls, different judges, a different day, and different results. It will be interesting to see who comes out of the Ball State, IU and Purdue locals. I would agree with the above poster that the current momentum is with Brianna DeCamp. (NT) -- No name, 17:27:11 12/07/14 Sun Thoughts on Rose MClimans- Will she win again? She came out of no where and took Great Lakes, then made top 5, but didnt do well at Metropolitan. thoughts? (NT) -- No name, 19:49:15 12/07/14 Sun Miss Indiana updates for the new year: Miss Collegiate South is 2/7. Miss Collegiate Indy, Miss Indiana South and Miss South Bend are all scheduled for 2/22. Miss Capital City is 3/8. And a new pageant, Miss Landmarks, will be 3/22. From what I've heard, Miss Landmarks will be an open pageant for any girl who has never made it to state before. Miss Huntington and Miss West Central are no longer happening. And one last thing: Morgan Jackson (Miss Harvest Homecoming) is also INOT 2007. (NT) -- Thanks!, 14:27:53 01/11/15 Sun Thanks for the updates (NT) -- PageantGuru, 03:10:35 01/12/15 Mon Four locals in January yet. Will they come up with interesting winners.
