Miss America

I'm ashamed to admit, I watched it this year with the girls. I guess all those beauty pageants I covered for the paper got in my system or something.

I also watched the 4-week reality show leading up to the pageant.

I find it kinda amusing that Miss Michigan, the girl who won, wasn't even in the top 10 that the 'experts' on the reality show picked. But, they did get the first runner up and the second runner up right. Both were in the top 3 of the reality show.

Katie's favorite was Miss Indiana. Kiki was distressed that Miss Pennsylvania didn't even make the top 15. Of course, after not being able to find the state flag in the reality show, I had my doubts about her. As always, I rooted for Miss Texas. But, my true favorite was Miss Utah - a former solider.

Once she was gone, I was pulling for Miss Washington. She seemed like a cute kid.

Anybody else watch the thing?

Can't say that I did. I used to be really drawn into these programs. But, for some reason, when I became depressed about my appearance (when I was much younger) I dumped these programs because they made me feel worse!

Now, I accept who I am and how I look, albeit there are things I want to change, but watching these, reading "vogue" and the other beautiful people magazines, I just won't
do it!

Besides, I have problems with the swimsuit part. How is that telling us the person is truly beautiful on the inside when they are strutting in 4 - 6 inche heels in a barely there bikini?

I missed it, but I di watch some of the reality show beforehand. How did Miss AK do?
