Darlina is a two-time queen of slam.
Darlina became the first slammer to win TWO Slams on the FHS era. Looks like she might be a shoe-in for nationals. How exactly did she do it? Well, chances are she read some poems about being a woman. But you can check it out for yourself here.

History was made on the first slam of 2010 as little Jen Shugert finally ended a long string of second place efforts, which began in 1996 when she was first runner up for Little Miss Crackhead USA, and came on top of a slam for the first time in her now illustrious career that expands a couple of decades… on the week of her 29th birthday no less!
