November 2005 Edition Of Excellence
Du'Bois' Dish By Nicole DuBois (MGA 2006)
Where does one begin on this magnificent journey? If I
am dreaming, please don't wake me. Being chosen as the 34th Miss Gay America, is
both an honor and privilege, but mostly I am very humbled by this whole
experience.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shane Trice, the Staff and
Management of Backstreet Coliseum for a great job that they did for us and a
great facility for our preliminary nights of competition.
To my fellow contestants, it was my pleasure to meet the new contestants, as
well as getting reacquainted with old friend's. I look forward to working with
each of you, at your respective preliminaries, and in your quest of becoming
Miss Gay America. Your dream can become reality!!
Over the years of performing, I have had the opportunity of working with every
Miss Gay America since 1989, and then having the honor of watching in amazement,
the captivating Rachel Wells MGA 1979, and the electrifying Hot Chocolate MGA
1980, perform during the revue show. Thanks to each of you for your continued
contribution in this amazing art form of female impersonation. I hope I make you
all proud as it is indeed an awesome feeling to be a part of this elite
sisterhood.
To Larry and Terry, I thank you for having the vision and the forthright, of
continuing with Miss Gay America, and keeping with the tradition of
"Excellence". I look forward to both a wonderful and productive year as your
reigning national titleholder.
Finally as I come to a close of my first newsletter, I must thank the promoters
of MGA, without you, we would not be able to have such a successful pageant. I
wish each of you, continued success in your endeavors. I will see you all very
soon.
I also must thank the many people that have helped me throughout my years of
competing. One cannot do this alone, and for all of you I am so blessed that you
are in my life. Thank you. I now accept this challenge of being Miss Gay America
2006, and I will, to the best of my ability strive to continue in the tradition
of Excellence…..
God Bless, and take care of each other.
Much Love, Nicole
From the desk of Larry & Terry
A new page in the history of Miss Gay America…….
We must first say that we
are deeply honored at the volume of compliments that we have received concerning
the week of competition of Miss Gay America 2006. Having such quality
contestants and promoters, has certainly attributed to the success that we all
seem to be enjoying at this time. We invested many hours of hard work, dollars
and emotions in order to provide to this country with the finest venue for
female impersonation pageantry and it is great to see such hype over the success
of the Miss Gay America 2006 pageant season. There were several that was so
close to making Top 10, that did not make it and for that we were heartbroken.
This was an extremely tight competition, which the scores validate, and as we
said many times before, just to make the Top 10, was a tremendous
accomplishment. We have been told by many, that this was the “tightest”
competition in Miss Gay America history and we certainly agree. Consistency won
the contest for Nicole DuBois. For those who did not win, we sincerely hope that
you choose to return to compete at Miss Gay America 2007. Regardless of if you
win the crown or not, you will definitely become a better entertainer for
sharing in this national competition as we have yet to speak with anyone who did
not learn something during their week in Memphis. If you missed the Miss Gay
America review show, you missed a very moving experience. To see Rachael Wells,
Hot Chocolate, Vicki Vincent and the many other formers was phenomenal. Memphis
was amazed at the revue show and we were glad to expose the City of Memphis to
excellence, Miss Gay America style. Kudos to Backstreet Coliseum for their hard
work to ensure an incredible venue for preliminaries and the revue show.
Our advice now, is for you, the contestants, to rest, then set a timeline for
you to select which preliminary you want to enter for next year (also select an
alternate preliminary just in case your first choice is not available), then
review your competition package for enhancements that will make you a better
competitor. By now, you should have received your scores, if not, please contact
your promoters or this national office. You should review your scores and if you
need further critique from the judges, please let us know and we will be happy
to provide you with their contact information as each of our judges have made
themselves available for further critique sessions. There is always room for
improvement and we want to assist in any way possible.
As we turn the page in history of the Miss Gay America pageant, we welcome,
Nicole DuBois to the Miss Gay America family. He has now realized the goal of
thousands, which is to become a Miss Gay America. We look forward to working
with Nicole DuBois and expect this to be another exciting year of revitalization
for the Miss Gay America system. So many former Miss Gay America titleholders
have left their mark of excellence in this pageant system, and we expect the
same of Nicole. Nicole DuBois-Miss Gay America 2006 is committed to enhancement
of the Miss Gay America system and will be available to you, whether you are a
contestant, promoter or spectator. We appreciate all the kind words regarding
Miss Gay America 2006 and now we look forward to another incredible Miss Gay
America pageant season and appreciate your support as we embark on yet another
chapter in the “search for the next Miss Gay America”.
Until next time…
