Miss American 2009

While I don't know of any Greek affiliation for Miss Virginia. She is the goalie for the Penn State Women's hockey team. She recently went one on one with one of our AHL players to raise money for the local children's hospital.

I did! Since the hometown girl wasn't in "gold sash contention" I voted for Kansas, South Dakota, California, and Florida - though Indiana and Georgia were right in there. I'll be interested to see who won America's votes! And of course who wins.

As much as I should be supporting the gal representing my state, I just can't.

The girl's not even from Hawaii. She was Miss San Jose (or Santa Clara, can't remember) last year and hasn't even been here that long. A lot of the girls I supported from the prelim contests (including a girl from my HS alma mater) all came in so close in multiple attempts. and was in their last year of eligibility. In comes this transplant and takes the crown.

Yes, I know. I'm bitter.

I don't see you as being bitter...I thought you had to meet certain residential qualifications for these titles. I would be pissed too if a girl from outside my state won my state's title.

Either way, Miss Hawaii (Nicole Fox) has made it to the top 15

Right, like you had to live in the state for x amount of time before you were eligible to compete there?

I always thought there was some sort of rule like that, to keep girls who lived in bigger states (with more competition) from moving to a state or area with fewer contestants JUST to get a title (like if a girl were living in a big state like TX, but didn't want to compete there, she couldn't just move to North Dakota and compete in their state).

I'm watching, but haven't been paying much attention. So far, the Top Fifteen I can remember are:

Miss Hawaii (sorry, OTW)
Miss Kentucky (go ADPi!)
Miss South Dakota (one of the gold sash winners)
Miss District of Columbia
Miss Florida
Miss Tennessee (go ChiO!)
Miss Georgia (go Phi Mu!)
Miss Indiana
Miss Alabama (go ChiO!)
Miss Michigan
Miss Delaware
Miss Arkansas
Miss Iowa
Miss New York
Miss California

I think some of those women missed their calling as pole dancers!
