My first favorite with green eyes.

The Miss USA pageant will be held tomorrow. I’m praying that Miss Texas – Brittany Booker – wins the crown.
Not just because she is a “stunning, 5’11”, green-eyed model,” as her Miss Texas biography describes her. And not because she looks fabulous in both an evening gown and a swimsuit (both of which are required in the competition).
I’m backing 21-year-old Brittany because she is a devoted Christian.
And while she is beautiful on the outside, she is even more beautiful on the inside.
A Houston native, Brittany was raised in a Christian family, by parents who instilled in her strong morals and ethics. Those values were reinforced at BayArea Christian School, from which young Brittany graduated third in her class.
Miss Texas is a junior at the Universityof Houston, where she majors in psychology/human development and family studies. When she’s not in the classroom, she’s a regular volunteer at Hope Village Home for the Mentally Challenged.
Brittany devotes her Sundays to praise and worship, using the exceptional singing talent the Lord gave her in her church choir.
What I particularly admire about Miss Texas is that she is no closet Christian, hiding her beliefs so that she can get ahead in this fallen world in which we live, this decadent society of ours that has defined deviancy down.
Indeed, Freddie Cullins, former administrator at BayArea Christian School, attests that Brittany “is bold in expressing her personal Christian faith.”
In that trait, Miss Texas brings to mind Carrie Prejean, the former Miss California who controversially finished first runner-up in the 2009 Miss USA pageant.
Prejean, an unabashed Christian, was sandbagged by pageant judge Perez Hilton, the gay Hollywood gossip blogger, who used his final question of the contest to ask her where she stood on same-sex marriage.
Had she danced around the question, Prejean almost certainly would have been crowned Miss USA.
But the young woman stood up for her Christian beliefs. She told Hilton that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Given Brittany Booker’s boldness is expressing her Christian faith, it would not be surprising if one of the judges of this year’s Miss USA competition deviously decides to ask her a question that could cost her the title.
That’s why I’ve gone on the Miss USA website to vote for Brittany to make the pageant’s semifinals. And that’s why I’m praying the young Christian women wins the crown.
LOL. I’ll never forget the reaction of my pastor when I gave him the SoS verses we wanted read at our wedding..”These aren’t going to embarass me are they?”
BTW it was:
My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“ Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!”
~Song of Solomon 2:10-13
Funny!
Funny...What I notice about the article is that it talks about a beautiful woman who unashamedly proclaims her faith in Christ, knowing the venue in which she goes. She proudly wears the title CHRISTIAN.
Does it really matter what "denomination" or church she goes to?
Does being OR NOT being Catholic make her any less or more Christian than another.
This article is about A CHRISTIAN, proclaiming Christ, unafraidedly, going into the arena, where other Christians have been attacked an shreaded. Thats all this article is about.
Is it really important about denominational differences?
This is just a person blog. What about national newspapers and magazines that talk about "Catholic" beauty queens and their stand on abortion.
I'm a Chrisitan. Unashamedly.
I'm not Catholic. Does my support of someone proclaiming Christ and the protection of unborn human life, stop because they are Catholic?
Does your support of someone proclaiming Christ and the sanctity of marriage, stop because they are not Catholic?
Why would that make you chuckle, if you want to post a thread on a contestant just do it.
You presented ONE.
And that ONE was out of context, all to substansiate your view. And STILL no rebutal to my posting.
My accusation stands
The article is about a beautiful woman in a beauty pageant, Who is openly a self proclaimed Christian, and unapologetic about it, in a venue that can be openly hostile and ruthless to ANY Christians, unknown or up front.
You say you're not holier than thou, and yet you're attacking a beautiful woman, who admits to her own beauty AND YET, who proclaims Christ and her following of him, OVER her beauty, in a venue that WORSHIPS beauty and denigrates Christians, or anybody who tries to uphold morals.
I could have "understood" the attack if this was a piece on a beauty queen who was espousing Christian platitudes just to garner her favorability or fame. Instead, I see this as an article trying to boost and encourage a woman of beauty and substance, and you looking for a way, ANY WAY, to assasinate her, because she doesn't fit YOUR ideal.
To go from a Solemn occasion...To a Solomon occasion.
For those complaining that her face isn't soft enough, you must be queers. "There are no strong women, only weak men." ~ Raquel Welch.
Extremely well done. Most "Christian" movies are poorly written, poorly directed and poorly acted.
We watch them because they are "christian" movies.
ONWTK is different. I think it is Hollywood quality and can hold peoples attention on its own merit.
Come to think of it. I haven't seen it in awhile. Its Saturday night. A good night for a movie. Maybe I'll order a pizza and dig out One Night With The King.
Here's another one
A man can gaze upon the female form, and appreciate its beauty, without overtly lusting.
Let's leave the hyper-Puritan attitude regarding women's attire to the Muslims, and consign it to the dustbin of history.
I don't know about "softer" facial features being superior. I guess her face is somewhat angular, but she surely is a stunning beauty, with or without the excessive airbrushing.
And as for her breasts being fake, I just don't think there's enough information to draw a definitive conclusion...
If you were married to her, do you think they would bother you?
I know my answer.
I have always carried a torch for Laura Prepon
...AND she's Conservative. AAANNNNDDD a pro-gun celeb.
Her co-star Mila Kunis get's a half point for having at least one green eye - the other is brown. And she gets another 2 points for being an outspoken anti-commie.
Are going to directly tell I'm a fag?
If God wanted women to dress plain, why did he make most of them look so hot?
For the non mathematical among you, it's the difference between a natural breast "hanging" and a balloon "bulging".
Incidentally, a mathematical description of the perfect breast -- from the perspective of a plastic surgeon -- is given here.
Cheers!
OK, in order of appearance, top to bottom, who are these ladies?
My first time remembering Maureen Ohara, was seeing an old movie on TV, in the early '80's called "At Swords Point" another of my Favorites is her with John Wayne in "McClintock"
Connie Selleca had brief stardom in the early to mid '80's, until she gave it up for family life after marrying John Tesh.
Giada De laurentiis, is the granddaughter of Dino De Laurentiis, but more notably is a star chef on Food Network...YUUUUUUMMMMMMMM
Lauren Elaine is a model. My most notable notice of her is in the Dierks Bentley video "What Was I Thinking". (Check it out on Youtube.)
I would never rebuke Gods word concerning Christian liberty, but I would definitely come alongside a professing christian and reason with her that dressing immodesty damages the body of Christ and may tempt her brothers-in Christ to sin. If you love others, namely your sisters and brothers in Christ, you are a good role model for other woman and dress modestly, to leave no room for the enemy. 1 Tim 2:9
Because my opinion differs from yours does not make me narrow minded, I believe that christian women should dress modestly to honor God, themselves and their brothers in Christ. If a young woman were to search google what images would she find of this professing christian?
In general, I do too but read Matthew 12:1-12. We should not be like the Pharisees (where I get my "narrow-minded" comment) who place the strictness of the Law above the principle of Christ.
This woman probably believes that she can reach more people for Christ as a beauty pageant contestant than a modestly-dressed burger-flipper at McDonalds. Maybe she doesn't even like showing off so much skin but sees it as a sacrifice she needs to make for the greater goal of holding a prestigious title and using it to gain access for reaching others.
If a woman felt led to work at Hooters as a way to reach people for the Lord, who are we to say Christ cannot use her in such a capacity just because of the way she has to dress to get the job?
That's why I brought up Tim Tebow. He is reaching a lot of people as an NFL quarterback but, to do that, he also has to work on Sunday, something that some believers (maybe not you) believe is disobeying God's word.
Jesus tells us to "do good" and sometimes doing good means bending a few other places of Scripture. That's what I believe this young woman is doing in dressing in such a way as to win a beauty title.
And if she succeeds, and if she truly loves Christ, God will be glorified in her success and who are we to judge that as wrong?
