According to the Baltimore Sun, Chelsea Cooley - a self-described “shoe freak” - brought 34 pairs of shoes, stuffed into one suitcase. She packed that bag, along with five others, a collapsible hanging-garment rack and several shoe racks into her Honda and drove eight hours to Baltimore, peering through the cracks between luggage to see out her rear-view mirror.

Which one is bigger the Miss USA or Miss America pagent? One of them doesn’t have a talent competition.

Miss USA doesn’t have talent competition. The winner goes on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. However, they have a network TV contract, something the Miss America contest has lost.

She used to go to UNC Charlotte and worked at Stool Pigeon’s at University. I think she transferred to a design school in Charlotte.

Beautiful girl. Congrats to Chelsea!!!

She has the looks but needs an attitude adjustment:

When asked what her favorite thing was during the pageant weeks, she said watching Carolina win the national championship. She added, I love Carolina.

clt thought she looked like a niner.

Lefty, I'm sure you could change her mind. :P

I saw that too, but if that’s her only down side, I can live with it.

Jenny, I think I ruined your roommates sweater

This wal-mart fan gets a ‘get out of jail free card’ from me.

Amazin the recent celebrities from out of Charlotte. The Apprentice Kwame Jackson, Miss Winston/Wanna Be a VJ - Shannnon Wiseman, an American Idol, and now Miss USA. With reality TV anyone can be a star.
