I am sorry, did she say something? I was distracted.

As “mesmerizing” as her performance was, a highlight for me was, as the camera pulled back near the end, the look on the face of the guy holding the mike.

"The 18-year-old beauty contestant who mesmerized the nation with her verbal "brilliance" at the Miss Teen USA pageant over the weekend actually entered beauty pageants to improve her personal communication skills..."

"I was never much of a pageant girl," Lauren Caitlin Upton said in an interview published just hours before Friday's event. "When I first started pageants, I wanted to build up my communication skills for interviews for college and for jobs. I was determined to prove I was able to accomplish anything I put my mind to."

I heard the replay of her reply (not the video, which would have, admittedly, distracted me) and I was impressed....

This young lady actually came thiiiiissss close to actually having a *thought*....

She kinda sidled up on it a couple of times, and I was really rootin’ for her — but in the end it escaped her....

Better luck next time, kid....

No, she didn't. She did it to get on tv, get her picture in the paper and possibly to land a job at Hooter's.

“When I first started pageants, I wanted to build up my communication skills for interviews for college and for jobs.”

It has not worked. I suggest you work on your brass pole skills.

Her “mind” is her problem. Something’s wrong in there.

She’s thinks her problem is “communication”. It isn’t.

Communication flows from what’s in the mind, at base. Her statement indicates that the way her mind doesn’t work needs to be analyzed and addressed by professionals. At her age, hope it’s not too late.

I know lots of people are joking about her, and the rest don’t care because they’re too busy oggling her physical beauty. But I think of that old commercial...”a mind is a terrible thing to waste”. Hers, or what she has of one, is wasted.
