Miss American 2009

[speedsters]

I was really upset when they moved it from ABC, Atlantic City and the same weekend in September. My parents were always away that weekend and my Grandma and I would watch the parade through Atlantic City and then I would be allowed to stay up late and we would cheer for our favorites and of course Miss NJ.

To me Miss America had all the class, grace and the amazing history, and the changes (and the show) seem to make it as cheesy as any other reality tv show.

Miss Montana is a Kappa.

This was such a big deal when I was growing up. Mom and I watched every pageant, but Miss America was always my favorite.

Since people are sharing Miss A. anecdotes, I'll mention that my mom used to work out occasionally with the 2004 Miss America. They had the same personal trainer.

It's just not the same without gay guy from Ugly Betty. It just doesn't have the appeal it had last year.
