I Love Me Some Pageantry

I'm a sucker for a Pageant... Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss Universe!.....I always imagined one day I might attempt to be in a pageant. Maybe try out for Miss Canada..... untill I realized for most pageants you need to have a talent. At which point I always said "um ya, never mind."

I can't sing, the competitive dancing level I attained when I was younger has now been reduced to a few somewhat unfortunate club moves, I did learn how to play the piano but at this point the only song I might be able to remember by heart is Mary Had A Little Lamb.... which I highly doubt would turn up high scores from the judges.

So, instead I will just sit on my couch .... most likely with a big bowl of buttery popcorn....and watch and judge the pretty, perfect looking girls that have most likely been starving themselves for months and going through hell to look so magnificent! I give them alot of credit.

Last night I caught the Miss USA Pageant and I have to say I was rooting for Miss Oklahoma. After she showed up in this dress for the Evening Gown Competition I thought she for sure had it in the bag. This is definitely one of the most stunning gowns I have ever seen! But, I was wrong. She took second place. First place went to Miss Michigan. Yes, she is also gorgeous but, I thought her dress looked like a boring wedding gown, she tripped during her final walk and when asked how she felt immediately after winning she said "Ask me after I've had a pizza".... Really?...... And worst of all: she didn't even cry!!!! I'm not sure I have ever seen a Miss USA pageant where the winner didn't cry. Whats a pageant without the ultra cheesy ending with the winner bawling her eyes out, the running mascara, the ridiculous wave? I feel jipped!

Anyone else catch the pageant? Who were your cheering for?
