Miss America was on last night? Is it still on national television? I heard nothing about when it was. They have it at Christmas time now?

YEESH!!!

Looked at a picture.

They’ve done the amazing.

They’ve taken the sin of lust out of the Miss American pageant. And replaced it with nausea

As a pubescent teen in the 3 channel universe there were a couple of things I’d wait all year to see.

1) The swimsuit competition for Miss America and Miss Universe (which was about as much titillation as you could hope for in a house where Dad did not subscribe to Playboy).

2) Battle of the Network Stars (which was your only opportunity to see women like Lynda Carter, Farrah Fawcett and Erin Gray in similar attire).

Ya mean women and ONLY “genuine” all natural women need apply? No artificial “gender fluid”, pretend women, at least not yet....

2) Battle of the Network Stars (which was your only opportunity to see women like Lynda Carter, Farrah Fawcett and Erin Gray in similar attire).

From back when SNL was funny: Battle of the Network T's and A's

I don’t think so. The black gay guy asked that specific question to one of the contestants. Should trans women be able to compete and the contestant babbled in the affirmative. It’s the WOKE pageant now so I assume that non women are allowed.

Ha, great response. Remember Rush’s undeniable truth of life number 24. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.

What a great memory. Thanks for the post.

I found the contest intolerably vacuous even as an adolescent.

I would rather read a book or play a game of chess than watch that.

Why don’t they have an all star beach volleyball tournament instead?

I liked Miss Universe because Miss America made the contestants wear Catalina swimsuits but Miss Universe allowed something a little more revealing.

Those were the days. Don't get me started about the Sears catalog . . .

TTIUWP... even if she ain’t all that.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I am ready to repent.

On the one hand, the attempt to pretend Miss America isn’t about showing off women’s bodies is quite silly. Let’s not pretend Miss America is the smartest biochemist out there just because she did a silly high-school science demonstration.

On the other hand, i think she is awfully perty.

Md. America shouldn’t have a penis.

I didn’t watch this nor have much interest but good write-up!

I remember watching the Miss America pageant parade on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in the 40s-50s ... that was v1.0. Have some great pictures, but I haven’t scanned them else I’d share.
