What the hell is Pam 'Cookie" Robertson thinking? Look, I know you want people to take you seriously and I know you want to be "someone" in this sport so bad you would sell your mother's soul to do it. But really? After this years debacle at LL3 put on by you and your flunkies, I mean come the hell on.
Jessica Sparks has nothing but respect from me, in fact I knew her personally when you were still that crazy woman that the former Lady Viper wanted to stay away from her man and you didn't even know what paintball was and thought the best thing on a saturday night was the bullwhip gangbang. But she was the only female you brought out with any real credibility in scenario paintball, other than Phoenix.
For all of your going on and on about all tuff and no fluff and the fact you crucified women on your forums for wanting to wear makeup and dress up and such. And then you turned the 'cougars' (and I use that term loosely) on them so that they could smack the younger women back into line. But then you have women dressed like this holding your banner and for the winner?
Can they play in those boots? Or that skirt? I mean sure, one of them wore a kilt but the other one's skirt was pretty short. And they had on paintball jersies, they must be players. So much for legitimizing women in paintball right? You spend all this time telling people not to use sex to sell anything in paintball and looking down on people for doing it and then you turn around and take hundreds of photos of this and put them on the stage in front of 1300+ (ha ha, my ass) players. How many do you think laughed at the site of these women? How many do think thought that they were pathetic?
I am soooo glad that I didn't go to Living Losers 3, and as far as 4 goes, I wouldn't go to it if you paid me. And with Pam weighing in on the drama fest that happened after, maybe someone should tell her to shut her fat mouth up. Wait, I am sure Ratsnake already did. I mean unless he has turned over a new leaf with all the other waffling he does these days.
Congrats Pam, you have made women a bigger joke then you perceived them to be already. You set people like Nudi and my daughter back 5 years with all your prancing around with knee boots. At least your PB "Woman" of the year dressed the part, well if you want to call it that.
I mean look at that, Ben Toricelli (I find this funny considering Ratsnake's very vocal opinion of Ben) has bigger boobs than the PB Woman. Maybe you should elect him next year. Then again maybe it makes her more aerodynamic, but really who are we kidding, thats the best that women can send to the freaking sport? Some 50+ year old woman who is known more for owning a field and putting a team of men out there and being a celebrity general? I mean I am a big guy and all, but is she going to chase me down with her walker? And how many hours did the PB Woman play? I mean was she a force to be reckoned with on the field or was it all poobah time? Elected by her peers? Is that what the industry is? I mean, how will any one who is really a player ever win? They won't, I wonder who next year's token winner will be.
And the Angel Rasta? OMG, gag me with a freaking spoon! (yes I know that is an old saying, but a rasta angel? That's like giving someone a splash anodized angel!)
Looks like someone was clearing out the warehouse, I mean hell Tippmann could have given away a Phenom/TPX combo that would have been more appealing than that, and you know how I feel about them.
But LOL, as I have told a lot of people, these days, I just don't give a shit anymore. So for the people offended by this blog, none of you liked me anyways and either banned me from your events for no damn reason or petitioned others to hate me behind the scenes. So I figured, why not give you something real to hate me about.
Enjoy!

From the mouth of Cookie herself: If you wish to have any of them, they are free for the taking.
and per the 'Bastion of Paintball Journalism' 68 Caliber: In the meantime, Pam ‘Cookie’ Robertson, HWIC of the PBWoman website and right hand (wo)man of Viper, has posted a number of photosets on Flicker and has made them publicly available.

I know one of the lovely young ladies posing with the banner in the photo you posted here. Yes, she does manage to play paintball in skirts and boots, much to the mystification and (I imagine) delight of most of the men sharing the field with her. She's a strong player and a good sport to boot.
It's obvious from reading your other posts that you have no love for Cookie and Viper, and it seems from what you have written that they have given you plenty of reasons for feeling the way you do about them. OK. But in your eagerness to rip Cookie and Viper a new one, you've just drug a couple of innocent bystanders through the mud.
Just my opinion, but you owe those two girls an apology. And if you can't man up to giving them one, perhaps you should be the one playing in the skirt and boots.
Let me see if I can put this into words without it coming across in a manner that you find offensive. Although I highly doubt I will succeed.
Those two 'innocents' as you put, just did the exact opposite of what PB Woman is supposed to be about. Now, obviously, you have a personal stake in this as you know one of the people, but that is no reason to be all uppity about what I wrote. Let me quote it for you, shall I?
But then you have women dressed like this holding your banner and for the winner?
Now that was the statement about how Cookie wanted women to be seen in paintball and how in her realm, they had turned women well over the age of 25 who may have indeed seen their best days behind them with life, stress and children on younger women who wanted to look like women and not give up their sexuality in the quest for paintball equal rights as it seems some 'feminist' leanings are pushing this. What was said that was so bad about that? Maybe you mean this;
Can they play in those boots? Or that skirt? I mean sure, one of them wore a kilt but the other one's skirt was pretty short. And they had on paintball jersies, they must be players.

So you say that she can slide into a bunker wearing knee high stripper boots? Now don't try and sell me on the benefits of stripper boots as I have seen my fair share of them. But take a good honest look at the bullshit that has been leveled in PB Woman and elsewhere as well as the myraid of private discussion Pam has had with people about me (trust me I got the damn emails) where I am labeled sexist, chauvanistic, neanderthal and more. But I am none of those things, I simply am the guy saying you don't get to scream treat me like one of the guys and then show up acting like a girly girl and expect me to fall down and say oh how cute. I am going to call bullshit when I see it and the fact that after all the shit Pam spewed, she allowed two women to stand on stage dressed like that goes against the 5 months of BS she spouted against me and anyone else who took her and the site to task on everywhere from PB Nation to well, here. As for the answer to my question on how many thought it was pathetic, not nearly as many as who thought it was hot! But then again, I thought they were fighting to good fight against that and wanted to be taken as serious paintball players.
As for owing those two women apologies, that ain't going to happen. Whether they allowed themselves to be used, volunteered for it or were simply duped is not my call. I simply pointed out the obvious, if you don't want to see the naked emperor then I suggest you listen to the guy screaming but the damn emperor is freaking naked.
As for me wearing a skirt and boots to play this game, not going to happen. And the paintball whoa-man project being run by cookie is about as dis-respectful to women as showing up at a chitlin eating contest in black-face. But that is the subject of another blog, so we will leave it at that.
As for who you are, really? Webmistress (I assume since you seem to be offended by male stamps) of Mad Ivan's site? You might want to talk with him about the people who pulled these two poor women's strings and how to fix that rather than coming after me for pointing it out.
Otherwise, happy blogging, TB! I personally enjoy keeping up with your blog and look forward to future posts.
