How can we miss her if we don’t let her GO AWAY?!
This woman has been occupying the news for what now… two… three… years?
I’m proceeding from the assumption here that this won’t do any good… it hasn’t so far, but that hasn’t stopped me, so here goes. Let’s see if, after I tackle all these stupid non-issues at once, we can just stop talking about them.
1) The “Gay Marriage” thing. She did not say or do anything wrong. She expressed an opinion… one that I happen to disagree with… in a respectful and courteous manner. She was asked her opinion and gave it politely. Personally, I don’t know why they even expect these girls to talk or behave as if they have a brain AT ALL. The size of their SOMETHING that starts with “B” matters, but it ain’t brains. But we’ll get to those other B items in 2. I realize that they’ve changed the name of these things from “beauty pageants” to “scholarship pageants”, but that don’t make it so. You can rename dog food as “caviar”, but that doesn’t make it anything other than fish brains and pig snouts. I think that she showed the kind of simple-mindedness that a beautiful woman who’s OBVIOUSLY never been asked to think would display. And if you’ve never actually sat down and THOUGHT about the gay marriage issue, it’s easy to parrot what others say, which is exactly what she did. Okay? So what she said wasn’t bad or mean or wrong. It was just a little… well… dumb. And what else do you expect from a contest that has a swimsuit competition, but no solve-the-quadratic-equation competition?
2) Breast implants. IT’S A FREAKING BEAUTY CONTEST, OKAY? Obviously WHOEVER paid for the new boobs didn’t feel like she had what it takes to compete in a swimsuit competition. WHO CARES?!
3) The old naked pics. Okay. We’ve established that this girl is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. We’ve established that she’s pretty enough to compete in a beauty pageant… er… ah… I mean “scholarship pageant”. So what happens when you combine a pretty, kind of dumb girl with some horny dude with a camera? You get naked pics of the girl. And let’s face it, guys… the idea of ANY kind of morals restrictions in a contest where the object is for the girl to basically strut around wearing as little as possible is ridiculous. I mean, I might actually watch the things if they drop the pretense altogether that this is anything other than a “which girl is the prettiest” competition and just have them strut around the stage naked for an hour.
Okay, can we stop talking about her now? Please? She looks like Barbie, which is all that these contest demand. (Even the black and Asian contestants looks like Black Barbies and Asian Barbies.) Please.
Thanks.
Peace.

Eh, I am not as hard as you are about the situation. I have a daughter that does the pagent thing, and I do happen to like them myself.
Her answer was her answer. The douche bag was Perez Hilton for sandbagging her, with a question that was loaded. He had an answer, and he was serving an agenda.
As to her pics ... I think it is a matter of course, that models have stuff like that in their portfolio. To me, is is like asking a boxer if he has had a broken nose, or if he has ever been knockdown. Very few have ever avoid both of them, so honestly if they say 'no', then they never really tried to box.
If you really try to model, and particularly if you show signs of being a good one, you will have those kinds of shots. No big whoop.
Now, for the shots Vanessa Williams took ... whoa, nelly!! Those were a little extreme and she should have told someone. But it worked well for her.
My worry is that this will enable her to become a politcal person, and get elected somewhere and do some real damage.
