Subject: Any interest in a 1.0 state pageant? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:31:58 01/01/20 Wed Any contestants out there interested in competing in a 1.0 state pageant, like they are doing quite successfully with Miss TN Volunteer? PA is mentioned on Guru as considering a 1.0 pageant as well. This would be after MO in June. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: YESS Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:00:42 01/02/20 Thu I competed before they switched over and LOVED it 10 times more than I like it now. Also I’m so sad evening gown is gone because I think it’s great to be able to display your confidence in a gown you love! Also after reading the miss TN volunteer article, it sounds successful and it seems to have a lot of support and I would love to see this in Ohio as I’m having trouble finding a system I like to compete in now!

[> Subject: No. I really like the 2.0. I feel it's a better representative of me - today's woman! I don't want to parage around in a swimsuit, be unable to hold a conversation, or spend a lot of money on a gown. To me, 2.0 is finally what represents me.

[> [> Subject: This program wouldn't have lasted 97 years if contestants felt they were being 'paraded around', rather than showing their hard work and commitment to all aspects of themselves. And the 1.0 contestants certainly knew how to have a conversation! 1.0 had interview and OSQ, just like 2.0. The Ted Talk is the only new competition, so you now have 50% talent and 50% talk. I'm glad you found what's right for you and wish you luck. Author: PS- there will be eg at MO this year. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:32:11 01/06/20 Mon [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: We can't assume women haven't changed their outlooks in 97 years. There is a movement which dictates women should not show off their bodies for gain; it's been around for over 50 years. Look at the number of contestants at Miss Ohio in the 1980s and the numbers in the years after 2000. We can't blame it all on poor state leadership. More than a few will tell you they thought the state leadership was corrupt in the 80s, too. I have tried to recruit women into the program for the past 30 years. The percentage who will not compete because they would have to wear a swimsuit on a stage has increased steadily by the year. I have to accept society has changed and maybe the program should adjust to it. I don't like 2.0 at all, but I respect the women who choose it.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Like I said, I'm glad they found what works for them, and I wish them luck. The reason pageants have diminished in 30 years is that women have gained more opportunities, in sports, AI, SYTYCD, The Voice, etc.. The mistake is to seek outsiders' approval of the pageant. And yes, MO leadership has been corrupt since the 80's, less Jay and Gloria's 2 years. If they hadn't been the EDs, a mixed race girl would have NEVER won the title, esp one with the attitude she had when first entering the program. She's grow up and is an asset to the program now, but I completely feel she would have never been allowed to win under the former/current group. Author: The reason less women want ss is they're fatter. Period. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:05:43 01/21/20 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: And tell me what women who has a decent body has an issue with ss?? In Ohio the Super Woman crotch-shoot pose never won ss, but the graceful, beautiful display of femininity did.

[> Subject: 2.0 isn't a pageant and next season we'll have no eg and have to do the SII presentation. I'll compete in 1.0 after June if there is a pageant. Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:35:45 01/07/20 Tue [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
