I am sure everyone talking here and the articles writer has grown up around pageants? No? I have. I fully support pageants because I used to compete in them years ago. It made me more confident with dealing with people, helped me work on my public speaking and nervousness. It launched me into my career in merchandising to which I was afforded to retire here in the backwards redwood curtain. I am sure woman such as Ms. Silva are not happy with pageants and prom queens but maybe it has stemmed from not being confident in ones self to be able to face competition. I am proud of these girls. I support all of my grandchildren and think it healthy that if one chooses to run in pageants or one chooses to head up a bikers club I will fully and whole heartedly support it. That being said, I am mortified that the journalist would use such a bias title and try to humiliate these poor girls. I was under the impression that journalism up in this neck of the woods was not agenda pushing? Is this now owned by the Eureka Reporter?
Re: “Updated. Our Miss California Contender”
The last time you covered a beauty pageant it was not only poorly written, it was negative, and a witch hunt. Glad to see you saw the error of your ways.
