That's right up there with Vanessa Williams' Playboy scandal! The poor thing...if only she'd gone with a sensible bob. *sigh*


(And aren't ALL beauty pagaents inherently tragic? Paging Patsy Ramsey, Patsy Ramsey, line 1!!)

Tragedy? It's so much worse than a "tragedy"!


I can't even imagine the pain this must be causing her and her family. To live through something like that just makes me respect her soooo much.

My prayers to her and her family in the very dark time.

I only hope she has come to realize the dangers of doing braids. They kill. Don't do braids! Just say no.

Diva, you tell Mariela it wasn't a tragedy and watch her rip the braids from your hair!

The best part... is that it's under World News on MSNBC.com.

That article is a hoot. I'm surprised they didn't interrupt regularly scheduled programming with this story. And to think, this wasn't the first scandal to hit this pageant.

I think the phrase 'Beauty Pageant Tragedy' is redundant.
