Are They Just Jealous or What???
Miss Southlake, Brittany Wellsfry
I’m referring, of course, to the TLC TV show, “Miss America: Countdown to the Crown,” and Rebecca Robinson, our Miss Texas. The multi-week series, which you can catch reruns of at odd times on TLC, is a run-up to the Miss America Pageant, which will take place this month in Las Vegas. Not that I have anything against Miss Oklahoma, Miss Missouri or Miss Vermont, but how about giving Rebecca a close-up or five?
I do think I caught a snippet of her cute blondness but only a second. We can only hope that next Friday things will improve. Is it because she’s above the drama that they don’t have any outtakes of her freezing in front of the microphone? Was she perfectly nice and not say anything snarky about the other contestants? I’m sure that’s what it is…
Meanwhile, back in the Lone Star State, we have a new Miss Southlake. She’s Brittany Wellsfry, an Southern Methodist University graduate, and she will compete in July at the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant. She’s a singer who grew up in Wichita Falls, and she has her own Web site where you can learn more about her–www.brittanywells.com. She was Miss Teen Texas in 2002, and I seem to recall Rebecca Robinson was once a Miss Teen Texas.
While we’re talking teens…The Miss Teen Southlake winner is Amy Cristiani, a sophomore at Midland High School.
Anyone heard the rumors that the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant might move to Arlington? Just checkin’…

Joy:
Thanks so very much for your coverage of the Miss Southlake pageant! As a judge for the Miss Teen Southlke on Saturday night and someone who has been involved in the Miss Texas/America Sholarship Organization for over 30 years, I saw two of the most remarkable young women receive their titles! Brittany is beautiful, poised, talented, and dynamic. Amy Cristiani is one of the most together 16 year olds I have ever seen. She is also a beautiful, articulate, poised, insightful, intelligent, mature and focused young woman. As always, it was both a privilege and pleasure to work with the MSSO and Heather Bruce and her board and the wonderful people of Southlake, Texas!
God bless and on to Miss Texas and Miss America.

Joy, I just read a fun little novel about a fictional ‘Miss Teen’ National Contest, held of course in Las Vegas. Since it was a mystery novel, the drama was supplied by the murders which occurred (no teens were injured) and the solving of same by Temple Barr and Midnight Louie, her cat. Written by our own Carole Nelson Douglas, who resides Right Here in Fort Worth, “Cat in a Hot Pink Pursuit” is the book, and the entire series is a hoot.
I did not realize Miss America had been turned into an easily parodied reality show. I hope you are correct about the ‘drama’, and snarkiness being the reason for early attention being paid.
Keep us informed!
