Miss America Blogging

I'm late on this, I know, but I ran out of time this morning; we had to be to church early today because we were Greeters.

Anyway, as I sit here watching the Pittsburgh/Denver game, I just have to throw my 2 cents in about the Miss America pagent last night. I watched it, the whole thing, and I have to say I thought it was pretty classy. No game show type question stuff, no song and dance numbers, just straight-up pagent. I like that they wore the sashes again too.

No one girl really stood out to me. I like that the top 10 girls had escorts for the evening gown portion. Miss PA had her brother escort her, which I thought was cool, but she didn't make it to the top 5.

The talent portion was good, I have NO talent, so I'm not going to knock anyone there.

How much fun is evening gown, though? That's my favorite part of the whole thing.

*sigh* Sitting there under two blankets drinking the "sweet devil Coca-Cola" I couldn't help but remember the Miss America Barbie doll I used to have. Does anyone else remember that? She had a crown that stayed on her head, a bouquet of plastic roses, that cape thingahootch...I loved that damn doll.

Anyway...I really wanted Miss Georgia to win, but alas it was Miss Oklahoma. She's tall!
