A new Miss America has been crowned: Abbie Stockard, a 22-year-old Auburn University nursing student and cheerleader who was named Miss Alabama last June ahead of her senior year.

Stockard triumphed over 51 other hopefuls — one from each US state, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico — at the annual pageant in Orlando, Florida on Sunday. Annette Addo-Yobo, the first foreign-born delegate to win Miss Texas, was named runner up, with representatives from Tennessee, Florida and Ohio completing the top five.

I know “born and raised” sounds more natural than “raised and born”, but GRABITS works better.

“Totally in the South” will get you banned, though.

Yeah, I noticed the seemingly extra teeth. Does she get a cleaning discount for quantity?

I love pretty ladies, but these contestants have become like over bred dog breeds that are only made for show.

Because of the height of the woman in the front row, second from left, and the width of her shoulders in comparison to her head, I wondered if trans still compete. I don't know if that woman is trans,I just know that in the past the competition made a big deal about trans contestants. The competition is now limited to trans who have completed medical transition.

https://sfstandard.com/2023/06/22/miss-america-changes-rules-to-bar-trans-contestants-without-completed-medical-transition/

"Previously, the competition allowed anyone who identified as “a female” to compete. In the new Miss America 2025 contract, viewed by The Standard, competitors now have to identify either as “a born female” or a female who has “fully completed [sexual reassignment surgery]/Gender Affirming Surgery from male to female, with accompanying medical certification.”

Not ‘second from left’! I should have typed ‘second from right’! I was referring to the very tall woman on the right wearing a green dress.

Born and raised in Northern Florida. Yes, that counts.

Or did I misunderstand your comment?

I live in central Indiana now, born in Florida.

However, I suppose those from southern Indiana might consider themselves Southern.
