I don’t mind bathing suits. Everyone has to wear them at the beach and they are not unhealthy. And for some reason even the Muslim girl with the hijab still could wear a regular bathing suit.

I mind the foot deforming heels. Why not take those out of the competition and let them wear 2 inch comfy heels? Women don’t need to be hobbled.

Wasn’t there one year back in the 90s when the women were barefoot? I’m sure I recall this - they looked like helpless little girls padding around in their tootsies. High heels are female armament, and they all looked disarmed.

(No biggie for me - the last time I enjoyed a ‘beauty pageant’ was watching ‘Miss Congeniality’.)

They should all wear burquas so the home audience can’t see.

They should all sit behind a partition, like on the Dating Game, so the judges can’t see anything.

And Miss Texas and other states that typically have finalists should be eliminated in the first round in the name of equality.
