I believe Miss California gets to compete for Miss America and then Miss Universe (??).
There are so many beauty pageants I’m not sure which is which anymore.
But Miss America is not simply about being hot but more...
Carrie Prejean was also Miss California but I believe she competed for Miss USA. That was when she got royally screwed by a totally unqualified judge, the gay activist — Perez Hilton.
I believe ( and still hope ) the Miss America Pageant is of a different class and won’t allow a pervert like Hilton to be a judge. For Ariana’s sake I hope so. She seems to be a nice, good and kind young lady.
No.
Miss America is a different contest from the Miss USA/Miss Universe ones. Miss America has traditionally included a talent component and some vetting for brainpower. I think.
