Note: Starting poll over. Didn't realize Dr. McCaa retired. My apologies. Removed her and added the next place, Gail Pittman and Lisa Looser. They were one vote apart so I'm going to be nice. It is my poll.
Time for the top businesswoman's poll. We ran a poll of the top businesswomen in the Jackson area last fall. This poll is for the top ten finalists. They are all business owners or partners in their respective businesses. Unlike the Mississippi Business Journal, there are no gummint employees, no partners in 200 partner law firms in this poll. These women are the true owners. They sacrificed, they worked long hours, they wear many different hats. If they don't show up, things don't get done. They are usually balancing families and the business together. Here are the finalists:
Alyssa Farmer (Lace Bridal)
Clare Hester (Capital Resources Group)
Susan Lunardini (Southern Consultants)
Pamela Hancock (Hancock Law Firm)
Amanda Overby (Overby Company)
Whitney Giordano (Material Girls)
Lauren McGraw (Gotta Go Rentals)
Leigh Reeves (Social South)
Alissa Berry (Casabella)
Liza Looser (Cirlot Agency)
Gail Pittman (She needs on link or introduction. She's Gail Pittman.)
Each business is linked to its website. If any of the finalists want to email professional photos of themselves, the photos will be posted. Vote early and often. ;-)

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

I voted for Leigh. She is soooo HOT.
Guess the hottest newschick days will never return. RIP Jackassery.
OMG!! Not again!!! Vomit.
I vote for Donna Ladd. In my opinion, no one is a better example of...
...oops, sorry! I thought you said vote for the top BITTER woman.
Connie McCaa is retired but I still vote for her
My vote is for Nan Lyles. Nan owns Lyles Family Cleaners on Main Street in Madison. Nan worked 12-14 hour days the first 2-3 years they were open which led to some health problems. Even when Doctor's told her to stay off her feet she showed up and took care of her customers. They do a good job on your clothes too.
George Ellmore
I missed the notices to nominate.
I am in for Nan Lyle also. Great business, with great service. I assume that is her son that works in there with her and he is up early in the morning when I drop off and he is courteous and professional also. She gets a plus for raising him right.
Some people are making suggestions for other businesswomen. I appreciate them, really do, but this is a finalist poll. I ran the first one back in the fall/late summer. Never got around to running the finalist. This one is that poll. When I run the next one, I will ask for nominations so I don't miss anyone. Then from that poll, I will take the top ten or so and have another finalists poll. Voter early and often.
Going to run that poll in June or July. I'll be honest, when July, Monica, Lindsay, Haley, and a couple at WAPT left, the talent pool dropped a bit. Didn't want to insult you guys with a weak poll. You deserve better.
You obviously don't get out much if your knowledge of area professional women business owners is limited to the above comment and this 'finalists' list. Maybe, though, you could run a separate T&A finalists thread for the pervs. Then, of course, you'll need to run one for minorities and another that Tom Head will approve of that includes businesswomen who used to be men.
Where is Wendy Ramage?
How did Lace make this list?
Pitiful list.
Reminds me of elections in Iran and Venezuela. Show up at the polls and they'll tell you who the candidates are. lol
Well, I've watched my vote decrease hourly. What's up with that? Does that mean that if everyone in my office votes for me and we all have the same IP address, then only one counts. Also don't understand what you mean by "vote early and often". Thought you were trying to prevent that.
The whole poll thing is as bogus as Kingfish.
Lighten up 5:59....this is the home of jackassery.
I'm about to pull it for a few days. Google has done this before. The number of votes is either going down at times or votes are not registering. I tried it out on a couple of nominees and the votes didn't appear. I can't manipulate the poll by subtracting results. All I can do is remove and start over. Like I said, Google has done this before and it straightens out in a few days. My apologies. I just saw it go from 69 votes to 35 votes.
These little things are so funny....years & years of bogusnous!!!! Haha!!! I don't think most people really know these people...I mean really know them & there TRUE history ....I'm just sayin....what happened to "investigating reporting" anyway? I mean, do you just believe what anyone tells you as true facts & publish it??? I mean, come on this is so wrong!
I'm going to excuse your "whatever" on all these years of bogusnous Kingfish due to lack of experience & hoping your experiences have ripen your knowledge of fiction v non fiction :) xxx
