LOL, whatever.

But to answer your question, the Miss America pageant is held in September.

I remember reading somewhere not too long ago that Donald Trump's expressed interest in buying the struggling Miss America program.

If I recall correctly, no network's picked up the pageant yet since ABC dropped it.

IMO, both the Miss America and Miss USA pageants have been boring in recent years.

More contestants should perform baton twirling as their talent! They get extra points if the ends are on fire!

Back when I was in school, a Tri-Sig did a fire baton twirling routine in Greek Week's Talent Show. It was awesome!!!

Anyway, I love that so many Greeks are making a positive impact by volunteering and stuff (required by the pagents, I think). I find it helps make us all look more positive - as we are. Positive publicity is the best publicity!

And, finally - rock on that there's another AST!!!! Woooo Hooooo!

I haven't heard that...what I heard was that they were going to make the Miss America pageant a type of reality tv show. They would go behind the stage, at the preliminary contests and everything to show the "true" side of the pageant. That is what they are thinking of doing for this up coming Miss America.

But I agree, the pageants are boring, they tried to get more "show" type...and it just sucks.

Ahh, another MAO volunteer! Nice to see you. I'm with the Miss Louisiana organization; I'm the webmaster there.

Nice to meet you!

LOL, I got suckered into it because a friend of mine was a past contestant that became really close friends with the pageant directors. She knew that I'd come in handy securing rehearsal and show locations and after that I never really left. :)

This is the article I read about Donald Trump:
Trump wooing Miss America Pageant

okay, so i love the miss america pageant and had heard from a source that i can not speak to the reliability on, but the "low" ratings from the Miss America pagean receaved was still the highest ratings for the time slot.

But it is nice to see all these greek women competing.

and Miss America is great cause it is free to enter and the winner receives scholarships to continue her education. There might be some perpetuation of stereotypes, but at the same time you can not same anything too bad about a women using some abilities to fund their education.

Make it more like American Idol: have the studio audience and/or television audience vote for who they like or vote off the losers.

Add a nudity/pole-dance competition.

Miss Iowa is an ADPi -- correct me if I'm wrong.

Girlies,
Have you been watching Miss Congeniality as much as I have? ;) LOL.

Edit:

Iowa is not an ADPi I checked her name.


And with AZ can someone please explain to me how someone who didn't go to high school in AZ, didn't go to college in AZ and didn't do her post-bac work in AZ became Miss AZ? Oh and she's working on her PhD, which means that she probably isn't even living here!!!!!!!! I seriously don't get this.

one word= clogging

We had a big scandal about this several years ago, some Jersey woman was taking one class - something on the line of Beginner's Basket Weaving - and won Miss Philadelphia, etc.


Just think, if they could get Sandra Bullock to do a cameo, or even that goofy Miss Rhode Island, that could really boost the ratings!

I'm assuming that we're "all" going to watch while online, wearing our tiaras and sipping pink drinks between comments?

Totally there, putting on my tiara.




William Shatner: Describe your idea of a perfect date
Rhode Island: Oh that's a tough one...I'd have to say April 26, it's not to hot, not to cold all you need is a light jacket.


LMAO (although I'm not sure if I got the date right, it's either the 25 or the 26 that she says in the movie)





As for Miss AZ, I told my dad and the only thing he could think of was that she was born here. Although as far as I'm concerned that doesn't deserve to make her Miss Arizona. I'm sorry, IMPO, these winners should be LIVING in the state they are representing!!!!!!!!!!!

According to this website , the date stated was April 23rd. I haven't seen the movie in a while (and I want to go see the 2nd one sometime soon! :D), but that sounds right :)
