If you let someone have a photo of you, particularly a nude photo, you have no control over where that photo will end up.

The only way you can expect privacy is by keeping your privates private.

Don’t hear much about or from Traci.

She's doing just fine. Celebritynetworth.com has her at $7 million. Probably much higher than she ever saw herself as a 15-year old runaway making porn films.

Not really impressed by the contestants. I think you can find women just as pretty on the average college campus.

Probably so.

Any real money she made then was probably blown away or wasted.

Not bad for Nora.

Other than the lesbian pics, very pretty.

Explicit lesbian-themed photos = not deserving of Miss America.

She still did well as an entertainer in spite of it, or because of it.

I can't think of any other Miss America who has had more post-pageant success than Vanessa Williams.

Come to think of it, I can't even name another Miss America winner.

A friend attends the same church as Williams, and works in the Sunday School. Says it’s hard to find a more devoted parent.

You threw me off. The post was from 2015.
