Bikinis Raise Eyebrows at Miss America ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Sept. 16, 2004 The first time Jennifer Dupont saw the bikini she'd be wearing at Miss America, she just about blushed. That little thing? "It was so little, when I pulled it out of the bag, my eyes were as big as my head," said Dupont, who is Miss Louisiana. "I said `This is what I'm wearing in Miss America?' I was so self-conscious, I didn't even want to model it in front of my father and my interview coach." By Miss America standards, the two-piece Speedo swimsuits are itsy, bitsy, teeny-weeny and downright ... risque.
