Congrats to the court! May you have a great time being ambassadors for the parade and the Tournament of Roses. Queen Natalie, you appear as gracious and kind in your photos as you do in person. What an amazing experience for a 16-year-old! Again, congrats to you all...

They ain't runnign for beauty contest, is like 50/50 based on a lot of community service. |

These girls are never from or go to school in Pasadena.
|

Ditto!!!! Looking forward to the best show on earth on New Year's day - topped with a Queen and Court that all we can admire. Big smiles, ladies...big, beautiful smiles. Laurence Todd President www.pasadenasportshalloffame.org |

That girl is only 16 y.o.? Wow.........maybe its all the make-up, bad lighting or just bad genes. Poor girl.

Having seen and heard this year's Court, last year's Rose Court members were far more articulate and better looking IMO

Whatever happened to supporting our youth? Why is it important or relevant for you (you know who you are) to make such derogatory comments about our children? Regardless of where they live or attend school, they are representative of a fine Pasadena tradition - a tradition viewed by millions around the world.
Rather than arm-chairing your insults try envisioning yourself as a 16 year old being insulted, and in some cases, humiliated, for no other reason except for being chosen. Shame on you. Laurence Todd President www.pasadenasportshalloffame. |

relax Larry, i just think they should be older so these "wierdo's" dont oogle these very young & underage girls. she is a delight though.

I see an unwritten quota... One African-American One Latina One Asian One mixed race One, no more than two, from PUSD One from PCC every three years or so At least half from neighboring public schools (supports community relations) The black girl or mixed race is usually from PUSD (kills two birds with one stone) The Asian from Arcadia or San Marino (same reason as above) The queen is never from PCC because, let's admit it, only a "failure" would go to PCC, right? The last PUSD queen was the also the one and only black girl, and that was 25 years ago. I suspect that if there is ever another girl from PUSD chosen as queen, she will be black (and that would be FINE), if we can wait that long... For once, TofR Queen and Court committee, you need to open your eyes! There ARE girls in PUSD with queen ability. They have been marginalized for TOO LONG!!!! |
||||
|
It was the right decision to have the son of the late TofR president to crown the queen. Brilliant!
|

Yeah, they are usually from good schools and neighborhoods. Most from well to do backgrounds. These girls have parents with money and credit cards at their disposal. Most students attending public Pasadena schools are mostly minorities (black and hispanic), not something that the Rose Court looks for. However, they always select a black, an oriental and a hispanic girl so they cannot be accused of discrimination. |
||||
I agree with you 100%! |

|
What a wonderful and beautiful Rose Bowl Court. Congratulations to the City of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl officials for some great choices. This group is one of the best in years, big improvement over last year.
