| Hey
everyone, and Happy New Year! Hope you all found my year-end recap interesting
enough. In my entry about Texas domination, I did fail to mention that
the young lady who gave up the title of Miss Gay U.S.ofA. last May, Raquel
Lord, also hails from Dallas, but has lived in Atlanta for years. Also
the girl who just gave up Miss U.S.ofA. at Large, Kelexis Davenport,
is a Dallas super-star who reigns supreme at the Rose Room at the Village
Station. So much for my reminiscing correctly. Oops!
I can assure you, this go-round we will focus mainly on local contests,
but there are a few national tidbits to chatter about first. Congrats are
in order for Amaya who recently won her spot to go back to Miss Continental
PLUS — she’s now Miss Missouri, an excellent prelim to win
with fabulous promoters Joe and Howard. Amaya won interview, talent and
on-stage question. Her runner-up was the gorgeous and shapely Coco Van
Cartier of Las Vegas, Nev. That is one pretty Latina queen, baby! And sweet
as peaches, too. Also, September Murphy (a blast from the past) recently
won Miss Heart of America Continental PLUS. In another system, former Miss
E.O.Y. Nina DeAngelo just won Miss Northern Star U.S.ofA. with RU Taylor
Roberts. Wonder who had on the most cosmetics at that one? Both are known
to love the make-up brush and we like that. It also makes me very happy
to congratulate Malaysia Black of Charlotte on winning Miss S.C. U.S.ofA.
recently with RU Candice Cordova. Everyone knows I’m a big fan of
Laylay, so I certainly hope to be there in Dallas in May to scream for
her — hard work and learning the business well is paying off for
this queen! Before I continue, one thousand lashes with a wet noodle for
not mentioning that our very own Paisley Parque got Best Non-Finalist at
Miss U.S.ofA. at Large in December — I need to see that Kelly Osbourne
talent, girl!
And the rest is all news about our local sisters winning contests, like
Monica Lovett who recently captured the title of Miss Winter Wonderland
FFI and Big Shirli Stevenz who just won Miss Zodiac up in West Virginny.
Kandi Kane just won Miss Diva in Columbia, a Hunter’s Fashions production;
her RU was Luscious. Amaya also just won Club Spektrum’s Winter Wonderland
contest (not a prelim to a state-level pageant). The Lady Diamond has been
bustouring the state as Miss NC U.S.ofA., representing her title at contests
like Miss Greensboro, which Paisley Parque won with RU Beverly Iman Johnson;
Miss Hickory, which Chynna won with RU Natasha Diamond; Miss Wilmington
which Savannah Stevens won with RU Michelle Michaels and, finally, Miss
Central Carolinas which the lovely songbird Breyanna Allure won (a former
Miss Pennsylvania) with Jessica Jade as her runner-up. Another local contest
to bring to your attention — DeAgera Sherrington was recently crowned
Miss Club Myxx; her RU’s were Mysha Paris and Essence Iman Black.
In closing, I bid a farewell to a dear friend moving away to pursue other
interests — Brittany Shane recently had her last show at Legend’s
in Raleigh as she prepared to move to Indianapolis for a nice job making
bank, baby. I wish you well, darling! You were lovely while it lasted and
we salute your career back here in the Tarheel State! |
