I like how they put them next to each other on the stage. Catfight!

Russia’s gown or whatever you call it looked somewhat more ‘plain’ than the other four (Dominican Repub for the win on that one), but on.. er.. ‘closer inspection’, she certainly had the right figure to carry such a dress.

I also liked how well USA carried herself. Fall down, get right back up, and get the crowed behind you. Fall, what fall? Never happened!

miss USA is hot, hot, HOT! i can-not-WAIT to be back in the U.S.!

it won’t be long now… :-)

We happened to stumble upon the broadcast last night. My entire family watched and not only were we dumbfounded that Russia made it on the stage with the other 4, but we were also surprised with all of the “manufactured” beauty. Lots of fake boobs, altered noses and chiclet teeth. My husb can spot fake ones a mile away and he was calling them right and left last night. Nothing like a little good family fun to bring everyone closer!

It’s a shame the rules don’t call for “natural” beauty.

It’s easy to make fun of these girls, but they are good, well educated, well rounded (no jokes please) young women. I’m very glad my daughter only wanted to try it and didn’t continue because it is very expensive as well!

I don’t think any of the comments are ill-intended. If you are going to compete on how you look, whether that be just your face, or with your body in a swimsuit and/or evening gown, then you should expect to be judged that way. I haven’t watched the Miss Universe pageant in a long time, but as I recall the Miss USA pageant, from where we get our Miss Universe contestant, does not include a talent competition, some evidence of actual accomplishment.

Over the years, we have all seen plenty of examples of bad and stupid from beauty pageant contestants as well smart and good.

Having said this, you (rightwingsparkle) are certainly very lovely and intelligent and I’m sure your daughter is as well. I used to check out your blog sometimes from the Cotillion website (not sure if that is still up).

Now this was a beauty pagent worth watching. Unlike the 2008 US presidential election with its 18 month parade of horribles just to get us to the final two, neither of whom is really pretty enough for the crown. Although I do think Barack would beat McCain in the evening gown segment. Just because he’s taller you know.

Welcome back AP hope you had a sunburn. Just joking.

What’s with all the Miss USAs falling on their asses? What are they drinking before they head out there to strut their stuff?

They’re being haunted by the ghost of Gerald Ford?

Any pictures of Mrs. Lesbo?

That’s Miss Lesbo, same sex marriages are not allowed on Lesbos.

Could only find a few blonds in the whole bunch.

Oh, and for the record, Miss Colombia was totally gypped.

Try that two years from now and someone from AmeriCorps will hunt yo azz down for using “gyp” as a pejorative, Sir.

Search the Herald (second link) for her name.

I thought Ms. Mexico’s interview answer was – by far – the most lucid. And I couldn’t take my eyes off her evening gown.

Russia had a horse face.

Poor Ms. USA – she’s beautiful and she handled her tumble as well as possible (she almost wiped out a second time, and you could see the shock on her face.).

Agreed!! :)

insert booby-trap joke here.

Um, her implants caused her to lose her balance?

Sorry. It’s unfortunate that she fell.
