The pageant's executive director, Grant Gravitt, says that he found evidence that Davila had violated the rules by hiring her own personal hair and makeup artists, rather than using the ones provided by the show.

Why don’t they make them do their own hair and makeup?

I’m super particular about my hairdresser, too. Thank goodness she’s young...so I can have her for years.

Eh... Rules are rules. She knew it going into this gig. Can’t abide by them? Find another job.

And it’s not really much of a story. People who stand on stage and smile for a living? Whatever. That’s the Kardashian lifestyle. No substance.

I think all makeup should be banned at these pageants. Go native girl! Go native! That's the way we like em out here in the country.

Seems easy enough to prove or disprove. Simply find the pageant employees who did her hair and makeup.

Read the article. Her lawyer says the pageant director pulled a photo from a social media account showing her getting made up by professionals.

Her lawyer says the uncropped photo shows it was taken a week before the pageant for a photo shoot.

I agree with you. A woman who has inner beauty doesn't need a mask. That would be a whole different universe than the one we live in!

We need to talk about the real issues. Has either of the two major candidates addressed this yet?

It’s become an American way of life: if you don’t like something - anything - hire a team of lawyers to tie up the courts with your endless lawsuits.

“Where would we be without beauty pageants?”

Did I hear tonight that one of the pageants is eliminating the bathing suit competition? Who’s running these things anyway? I’ll bet there are a lot of babes that would like to do a bathing-suit-only pageant. Speak up, gals!

No, she just picks up rice in the church where a wedding has been. Not real interesting.
