Miss Jungle Atlanta Pageant

Okay kids, I finally had a chance to catch my breath after the pageant and put together some cohesive thoughts about Miss Jungle Atlanta.

Overall, the feedback has been extremely positive and I appreciate all the kind words about this event. The glitches were handled as quickly as possible and anyone in attendance can vouch for the show's quick pace. Now, I *sorta* understand why some of these damn things take three fucking days to do.

With that said, I'd like to congratulate the Dancing Diva
Shawnna Brooks for capturing the title. Her victory was well deserved and the package she brought was impeccable. Every category was well thought out and executed for the sole purpose of winning the pageant. In short, she came to win and anything else was unacceptable.

The exceptionally talented
Myah Monroe came in as the 1st Runner Up and was knocking on Shawnna's door the entire night. On a personal note, I've come to admire Miss Monroe for her absolute professionalism and perhaps more-so as an entertainer. Great job, Myah.

Jade Daniels
nabbed the 2nd Runner Up spot with a package worthy of a National title. From her Presentation to her emotional roller coaster of a Talent and her ever changing Club Wear, this bitch will have a crown around her head in the near future.
Angelica Diamante
was also a crowd favorite throughout the pageant. She, arguably had the most energetic package of the entire night. Every time she hit that stage, the crowd went absolutely UP.

Isabella Diamante
did a phenomenal job with her Miss Jungle Atlanta package. With the difficult position of drawing the Number One contestant, Isabella showed exactly why she has all those titles under her belt. Everything she did was clean and eye popping.

Finally,
Jason Jupiter the Dark Horse of the contest was quite a spectacle to behold throughout the night. She added an element of surprise and unique attitude to the night.

To the entertainers:
GiGi Monroe (ATL's first Drag Idol), thanks for all the encouraging words and energy; Necole Luv Dupree -- you're amazing, simply amazing; Monte St. James -- thank you sir, you're truly a gentleman; Tamisha Iman -- it was truly an honor.

To the judges:
Bubba D. Licious, Niesha Dupree, Randall and my dear friend Ruby Redd -- thanks for keeping it real. A huge thank you to the MC, Mr. Charlie Brown and her sidekick Nicole Paige Brooks -- you two kept it moving at the speed of light.

Last and certainly not least, to my partner in crime the lovely
Ashley Kruiz -- you never cease to dazzle me with your talent, intelligence and brilliance.

Cheers,
Arman
