"Heyyy LeMay" here.... Happy New Year!
It's almost time! With Miss Gay America and Miss Gay Femme America Pageants right around the corner, I'd like to take a moment to share a message on behalf of Team Arkansas: Lola Lorenz, 1st Alternate; Jordan Bolton, MGAR Promoter; Shawn Tyler Andrews, Miss Gay Diamond 24; Janice Marie & Brooklyn Bissette, Promoters; Fonda La Femme & Tatum Totts, Arkansas Miss Gay Femme America Contestants and myself.
Congratulations to Dessie Love Blake, Miss Gay America 2024, on a stellar year as our reigning Symbol of Excellence! Your passion and dedication is evident to all. Best Wishes to you in your future endeavors!
We extend a heartfelt Welcome in our fair city of Little Rock, Arkansas, to all of the contestants! To the owners, Michael Dutzer & Rob Mansman of Mad Angel Entertainment, MGA Board of Directors, and Promoters/Stakeholders we are grateful and excited for you choosing our state to host MGA once more. We also truly appreciate being nominated for both state and regional awards this year. Special acknowledgements also go to the Robinson Center and Downtown Doubletree by Hilton Hotels, and the entire staff for your hospitality and making everyone feel at home, away from home.
Great News! Our focus as communicated the night of my crowning, is to increase contestant/promoter participation by a minimum of three additional preliminaries. We have already accomplished that goal and we now have three new promoters on board. I want to personally thank Jordan Bolton, MGAR Office, and the Forever MGARs for all of their diligent hard work in helping me to accomplish this goal so very quickly, within only the first three months of my reign. I simply could not have done this without your love and support!
Once we have confirmed all preliminary dates, a calendar of events will be posted no later than mid-late February. We are already in the process of planning a spectacular 2025 pageant production. I want to extend a personal invitation to all veterans, current entertainers, and new upcoming talent to enter a preliminary to MGAR this year. We welcome you to the MGAR Family. My capturing the crown after 35 years should encourage anyone that it's never too late to accomplish your dreams, nor give up on your goals. We are excited about new things to come.
"Nothing beats a Failure but a Try"
Feel free to contact Jordan Bolton, MGAR Office, any Forever MGAR, or myself if you have any questions or concerns.
We look forward to seeing you in January to support all of Team Arkansas in both pageants. Your continued contributions and donations are greatly appreciated.
Yours Truly,
Coppa LeMay
