This year's competition would be housed once again at the Chrysler Museum Theater on the second Saturday in June. The decision to go back to the Chrysler was always at the top of the list as the QUALITY was unparalleled. PLEASE note the reason why I don't always mention the contestants by name is because often when you do not win and certainly when you feel that you should have, then in my thoughts its better not to mention those competitors. I will mention the first alternate from time to time because I feel most often competitors awarded first place feel VERY comfortable with being mentioned. We would also lose sound this particular year at the theater and would have to wait over 30 minutes for the technicians to bring the sound back. We would proceed with the pageant at that point as we're almost at the end (CREATIVE EVENING GOWN). The theater would also be gracious enough to refund me the full payment a couple weeks later because of the MAJOR inconvenience.

 

Millennium's opening production would be (THE BLACK BUTTERFLY) She would be in a black sequins catsuit with black and multicolor wings and she did the pointe technique along with the formers joining in.

 

Sandra would have a clean and consistent package. She would do Liza Minnelli for her talent (LIZA WITH A Z). She would wear a very creative costume for RUNWAY and a very simple and clean black velvet gown for presentation. Presentation would be in any color you desire with 20% the dominant color.

 

Now previously Sandra would not be able to compete for Models Inc because of an incident that happened the last time she competed. I was in agreement during the time and allowed her to come back to compete for the competition because I was able to make that decision solo at this point. No details are needed as to the reason why, it just happened. Sandra also would come to the competition with an issue with her foot but she would not allow it to deter her from competing hence "THE OPPORTUNIST".

 

Sandra would become Miss Models Inc 2014. SHE WOULD PRESENT A CLEAN PACKAGE. Monica Darling as 1st.

 

Why the MMI Opportunist? Well when I announced her as the MMI opportunist she would wonder and after explaining online I thought she understood. I would later on find out she did not. OPPORTUNIST can be a very questionable word if you allow it based upon its meaning. I FELT.SANDRA LOVED OPPORTUNITY AND WHEN IT PRESENTED ITSELF SHE WOULD ALLOW IT TO PROSPER IN HER CAREER.

 

The Take-home Crown: Black and clear stones with the logo with the year of the representative along with the custom pendant to match.

 

The National Crown: Black and clear stones with logo silhouetted in center with MMI National embedded.

 

Now me knowing Sandra from the time she became Sandra I felt any broken relationship could be mended as maintaining a professional approach in those areas. One thing for certain Sandra would present clean and polished drag at ALL times. She was a stickler on maintaining a QUALITY appearance hence the reason why I later would call her the PAINT MASTER.

 

Now just a small bit of transparency and I'm not going to go into much detail here because I'm not here for a confrontation nor will I entertain any. The contractual guidelines with MMI are very open-minded and gives the representative much OPPORTUNITY. It's certain things.we will and will not tolerate rather it be online or in person. We would have conversations in these particular areas of concern and I would try to move on. Now in my opinion she felt I was trying to CHANGE her and this was NEVER the case. I was simply trying to ask her to represent the brand of MMI in a more dignified manner publicly. Now what she would do or any representative of MMI privately would be their personal business.

 

I would once again solicit Leonard Holton out of Washington DC and many of the pictures taken I made a decision to remove them off of my page in 2014 but these are some of the pictures she currently uses today and I'm comfortable with this because they were some beautiful pictures.

 

Sandra would make a decision to resign as the MMI representative 7 months into her reign. She would think very smart and savvy in this area because many incentives would be rewarded by then as well the contract would NOT require you to return ANYTHING after completing 7 months. I would change that verbiage in the contract after this happened but RESPECTFULLY I made a decision not to do an amendment or request further action. I would not consider the first alternate because she would go on to become MISS NATIONZ.

Sandra would do many things during her 7-month reign and I'm grateful. I've tried to mend our differences and at some point in your life you just give up. Sandra has gone on to do many great things of much respect and magnitude in our industry as a whole. What I've always understood and this is something of certainty. We both hold a place in the industry and as long as we both consider operating as such, we will ALWAYS work together at some point and this has happened and as professionals, you operate as such.

 

Myself and MMI as a whole wish her nothing but continued success. She's such a talented individual and this is undeniable. She is self-taught and her makeup/hair contributions are undisputed and one of the BEST here in Virginia.
