My friend and I tuned in t the contest for the semi-finals and eventual crowning...and Miss Pa. is right. It was a cheap production, hjosted by inane amateurs...adn the contestants had to answer ridiculous questions...and some of the answers were just plain dumb. I’ liked Miss RI, she did the best with the question she got...and (I believe) had to give a polticially correct response to win...but I also very like Miss Maryland (the runner-up) very very much.
It’s a shame this contest was so tawdry..these women deserved better.
I don’t pay much attention to these pageants but being from Pennsylvania, your post caught my eye.
Sheena Monnin’s hometown is about 40 miles north of me up interstae 79. She has an interesting bio:
Biography: Sheena Monnin was born February 20th, 1985, which means that she just turned 27 years old this year. Yes, she is on the senior citizen side of 20 for a beauty contestant which shows you that she has true beauty that will last her entire lifetime. She is from Cranberry Township in the great state of PA, as you might have guessed.
Sheena is a smarty pants as you can see in the video below in which she discusses classical literature. She is well versed in literature and public speaking etiquette. She joined the toastmasters group and steadily worked her way through the program to become an expert in self-presentation. You won’t find her saying uh and umm when responding to questions, which makes her allegation sound all that more credible. One of her favorite quotes is by musical conductor Leonard Bernstein: “To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.”
Miss Monnin has a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Phoenix in Pennsylvania, which is a commuter school normally known for business disciplines. She plans to obtain a PhD in theology. Holy cow, you go girl! She is just as comfortable in a bikini swimsuit as she is quoting scripture or the giants of literature and western culture.
She uses her public speaking skill to help children throughout the eastern seaboard as you can see here. She has been a teacher, writer and mentor to young people for many years after graduating from the American School of Protocol in 2003. Sheena is deeply religious and a self-described conservative politically. That will make her a hero or goat for cable news channels as they get their arms around this story.
