u continued from page 14 South Central Shae Shae LaReese with RUs Sunny Dee Ute and Sasha Andrews. Say what? I guess Miss Shae Shae had really showed out on that night All right sis! Also, the newest Miss NC is Macaria Rage and her RU is Aida (maybe leeta?) Addams. Congrats to Jamie Monroe on her relinquishing the crown! Diva! Where the Classic prelims are concerned, my good sister Miss Layla LaRue is in and out of the airports these days, reigning elegantly over prelims like Miss Pennsylvania, which Victoria Lace won with RU Morgan Wells; Lonestar, Edna Jean Robinson and RU Sybil Ann Storm; Arkansas, Adrian Keriocus and RU Lisa Laws; Arizona, Marina Del Ray and RU Lady Ashley; South Central, the lovely Denise Mykels and equally gorgeous Amy DeMilo; Kansas, TeeKee LaRue with runners-up Mackenzie Carmichael and Brittney Brooks; and Oklahoma, former EOY Roxie Hart with RUs Martinique Bouvierand Shantel Mandalay. Miss Layla, if Edna Jean is competing, I wanna judge! I'd like to see that talent, damn! Rnally, just a few qualifiers for the Miss Newcomer U.S.ofA. contest Arizona, Adriana Galliano with RU Malina Rae; South Central States, Vivica Perry and RU Kai Lee Mykels; and Kansas, Aria Crawford with runners-up Eartha Quake and Ginger Rose Carmichael. I'll close with a few local tidbits. Miss Charlotte America was held a few weeks ago at Scorpio and I must tell you how proud I was of our Miss NC Ariel Knight-Addams. Even with a cast on her foot she exuded class and sophistication and embodied our local “Symbol of Excellence." I hear she may be planning a trip WttM ^wrr Oofto-wy? srte's, Got TttAT WItolE [\iK£&iW.“lW XX£D tWN wrtyKst?..oH,wNT ^ (yuHuTE.. i9THPtv THE AlHT OF A CRosrt v/y\ prOtiHG CNt - IT IS'... cwy .m- IF Vou 'W...

I certainly wish her the best That night the Mouth of The South and one of the original good time girls Valarie Rockwell won and her RU was Brittney O'Bryan. I am thrilled for Valarie who has come a long way in just a few short years and has really come into her own. To my knowledge, no one has held the Miss Scorpio and Miss Charlotte titles at the same time since Renee Rollins back in 1993. Way to go, girl friend! I still say that Honey Boo Boo presenta tion at Miss Scorpio was a riot! Call your Aunt goqnotes.com/to/arts Ree, gal—she wants to congratulate you! In closing, I dedicate this column to Ashley Alexander, a sweet queen from Hickory, NC who performed and judged back in the day and competed at Miss Gay America. She won Miss East Coast America at Scorpio years ago and did "Baby, I Can Cook" complete with a diner counter on stage. It was fabulous] I will miss this queen — she was a "good egg" as the old saying goes.:: info: Drop me a line, OK? TheTeaMlssD@yahoo.com
