Miss Teen USA 2006
Let's discuss the pagent.
When the contestants introduced themselves, they were wearing a short white jacket or vest, a bra top and short shorts. Before the intro, they were wearing a bra top and a skirt. I'm sorry, but that's trashy. And some of the contestants are 15 years old. I bet that there are some parents that are cringing. Since they were in the desert, why can't they wear khaki shorts and a tank top or capri pants or something like that.
I shudder to think about the evening gowns later on tonight.
Don't give me that "sex sells" crap. I know that sex sells, but teens as young as that should not be wearing those things.
If I were a parent, and if my teen daughter wore something like that, I would be horrified.

Wouldn't most of those young women be in high school?
Would it be embarassing for a "Miss Teen" to be a college woman?
Would you want one of your sisters to be Miss Teen something?
Honest question.

-Yes.
Would it be embarassing for a "Miss Teen" to be a college woman?
-It depends. Some enter college at 17 years old.
Would you want one of your sisters to be Miss Teen something?
-No comment, because I'm not in a sorority.
Anyway, thank God that some of the dresses are not trashy. I liked Miss Georgia's, Miss Virginia's and Miss Maryland's dresses. I didn't like the frills on the dresses.

yeah, it's really inappropriate to me.
miss virginia had a split in her dress past her thigh. all i know is, we weren't allowed to wear stuff like to our prom and we were 17-19 years old.
i'm grown and i wouldn't walk out like that.

It was a Donald Trump pagent. Doesn't that tell us something? And yes, I thought that outfit was trashy. I think the winner was beautiful, but that dress?!

Random question... are a lot of people on GC not Greek?

Most of us are. If they're not Greek, then they are usually interested in Greek Life or planning on rushing and and are here for advice or to share their stories.
Sometimes, people who share their rush stories, don't get invited to join a sorority in the end. But they stick around her because they like the converation in the Chit Chat forums. And that's okay too!

I loved Miss Virginia and Miss Kansas. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is a "scholarship" pageant like the Miss America ones. I think the emphasis is more on fashion and modeling. I'm not saying I would want my daughter to wear some of the outfits, but if they're strutting around in a bikini, what's the difference?
