Ready, Set, There She Is

The Miss America pageant is a night when I want to have thighs without cellulite.  Shoot, I’d love a waist, too, while I’m wishing for physical enhancements.  Molly and I had a wonderful evening watching the pageant last night-- we cheered at the television when Miss Georgia was announced as the winner.  What a night!

The candidates have sparkly teeth, shiny hair, and a bounce to their step.  Really?  I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  Those girls are talented, pretty, and determined.  I once visited with a former contestant that said she had run seven miles per day, watched everything she ate, practiced her talent, and made the scholarship quest a full time job.  The day after she didn’t win, she slept late and ordered a pizza.  She said it was her own type of consolation prize.

Hoo-ah

I could answer some of the interview questions but I'd have to pass on strutting my stuff in high heels.  Gosh, talk about knees hurting!  I'd need a cane, a walker, or maybe a sherpa to carry me around the stage.

And those flowing dresses!  I'd have to sit down and scoot down the steps on my bottom...high heels and long dresses just aren't meant for me to wear together.

As the old Southern saying goes, “The higher the hair; the closer to God.”

Swim wear?  I'd like to see them swim.  I'd like to see them swim in a lake and then prance around.  No heels, flip flops would be the finishing touch.   AND maybe they could carry three beach chairs and a cooler.  Now, that could garner some points.

I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  I enjoy the glamour, the styles, the talent, and the entire production.  I loved the tape of Bert Parks singing "There she is...." even though he's dead.    I consider him synonymous with the program.

Miss Georgia on Saturday....Miss America on Sunday.

The point.  It's work to look that good.  Congratulations to Betty Cantrell!  I have heard nothing except positive facts about what a hard worker you are.   May you have an amazing year representing our country!
