what’s the over/under for how many votes for Cheeto Donnie?
I’m guessing that former pageant judge Rush Limbaugh won’t be among their choices …
I’m guessing that the pussy-grabber who bragged about walking in on girls getting dressed won’t be on the list.
But, he’s such a sexy, powerful guy with the world’s greatest charisma and the best words …
My doctor, in her lab coat and scrubs, is the pinnacle of beauty and talent that I care to see. I’d much rather just see her doing what she does, generally being excellent, and trying to give me a heart attack at 80 instead of 60, than to watch her parade herself around in a swimsuit with enough putty and plastic on her face to weather-seal a bay window.
Maybe former Miss Americas could do a better job than the Rump ever did, of making Miss America interesting.
I know how to make Miss America interesting. All the former runners-up should go teach Roy Moore how to STFU and lose with dignity.
It’s easy to discount these women as pretty little things strutting what they were born with. Sure they can’t get on that stage unless they’re knock out beautiful but they also must have unbelievable stamina to get there too. The process is abusive ( as we now know ), grueling and cruel. The worst part is in how much it reduces these girls to baubles.
My friend dated a beauty contest winner and she dumped him for treating her like a toy. She’s incredibly good looking but she’s also the curator of visiting exhibits for an art museum. I’m sure they didn’t scope out her legs when selecting her.
I also remember years ago going to a champagne brunch at the Ponte Vedra Marriot hosted by The House of Laurent-Perrier. The woman that presented the wine was a level 2 Sommelier and a former runner-up for Miss France.
Putting guys like Trump and Limbaugh in the Miss USA pageant was a nasty demeaning thing to do. I hope these women can fix that mess and make the pageants something we can be proud of again.
Miss America? Is that still a thing?
If she didn’t want to be treated like a toy, maybe she shouldn’t have entered a contest in which the best toy wins.
The entire notion of a “beauty pageant” is incredibly demeaning to the participants. The contests for children are even more appalling, and downright creepy into the bargain.
Roy Moore suddenly has a lot of time on his hands…
Since the Miss America contestants aren’t teens, they’d be perfectly safe with old PedoRoy…
Isn’t Gretchen Carlson unemployed these days ?
I suggest that if they want Miss America to continue to exist in the Twenty First Century that they actually turn it over to the former Miss Americas to run.
I agree with this sentiment. Any contest that serves to judge one person’s physical appearance as superior to another’s, through all natural selection (i.e., not body building, or contests of physically developed stamina) are insulting to everyone else who does not bear those same physical qualities. We are judged to be not worthy of competing with the beautiful people on stage, while those happy, shiny people who are deemed worthy present an artificial glow about the perfection of their lives for public consumption. This is a cultural illness. Parents who expose their children to such abuses should have their parenting licenses revoked.
I can’t believe these things still exist.
Is “I Love Lucy” still on the air, too? How about roller derby?
Once you develop those cottage cheese thighs, your pageant days are kaput.
Old Roy just loves the swimsuit competition during the Miss Sonogram pageant.
In an executive role, Dommyluc , executive role !
