Behind the scenes at the Miss America pageant, an excerpt:

Miss Missouri, Shandi Finnessey, seems genuinely concerned because pageant officials have decided not to allow me to change in the contestants' dressing room, ostensibly because of privacy issues. Where else would I learn how to tape up my breasts? Finnessey kindly demonstrates: You cross your arms, grab the sides and hoist while someone else stretches surgical or, ouch, duct tape across the bottom, two or three strips' worth. story here

...Incidentally, I suggested doing something I'm actually good at -- say, diagramming a sentence -- but I was gently dissuaded...

Good MissAmerica link - thanks.
