I see Miss Arkansas is sporting a 60's do with BANGS, for cryin' out loud......sighhhhhhhh, I just can't win at these things......

[mystery-ak]

Oh my, I don't think Miss Illinois has much of a chance....I hope she has some hidden talent.

[LWalk18]

Some interesting facts/observations- 1) Miss Wisconsin went to college at 14 and is now a MD at 22

2) Miss New York's name is Jessica Lynch

3) Miss Vermont is black and Miss DC is white.

Hey now - wait just a minute. :))

I was a baton twirler back in MY day. And I was 4-H Queen of Warren County, OH (near my hometown of Mason, Ohio) - way back in 1974!! What's a 4-H Queen contest without a baton twirler, too.

:))

So when did Miss Idaho institute the lawsuit against her hairdresser?

Miss Montana looks like she's straight out of a 1960's high school year book.

[Krodg]

Those are really bad pics....Miss North Carolina looks like a bobble-head....

[Endeavor]

Those pics may be what they really look like, but if you use HLL's link above, you get the "gussied up" versions and based upon those, here are my top 10 picks:

Arkansas
California
Florida
Iowa (that one's for you, Iowa Granny)
Kentucky
Maryland
New York
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas

[Unknown Freeper]

Here we go. Hi, I'm Merry Sunshine, Miss My State and I'm going to save the world.

[Unknown Freeper]

Do these women sound nasal to anyone else?

[Endeavor]

OK, scrap Arkansas - she's as bad as the pic Dio posted.

You'll be cheering for Miss Kansas then. : )

And here's a little nostalgia for you....

Private Wilcox, Worlds Champion Baton Twirler,
gives Colleen Hutchins, Miss America 1952, a kiss and a bouquet of roses.

This must be the ugly stick night.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Who ever took these pics didn't do any of the contestants any favors.

I am willing to bet that these were taken at the airport or at the hotel the minute they checked in. These poor young ladies weren't notified that they were going to have publicity pics the instant they were processed in.


If you look at their eyes I think that most of them have a look that says lets wring the neck of the person who had this idea.

She has the best name of the bunch though :)

Krista is the former " Miss Bachelorette", the ABC reality show. She will be marrying her boyfriend, who she picked on the show in a 4 hour show.

And we should care about her. .I hate reality shows.

[Unknown Freeper]

What's with all the law students?

[xp38]

At least she distanced herself from the other Michigan Madonna.
