Musings on Miss America

Is it just me, or did Miss Indiana look like she had been attacked backstage by the ugly stepsisters and there was no time for her fairy godmother to appear before she had to compete in the evening gown competition?

And wouldn't it be refreshing if one of the contestants sang a Metallica song instead of something from a musical? We'd all rather hear Enter Sandman than anything from The Wiz.

And if Miss America is supposed to be a role model, shouldn't there be some guidelines on the amount of skin showing? During the swimsuit competition we almost expected to see a few of the contestants start swinging on a pole.

I'm just saying if pageant officials are really interested in changing public perception of Miss America, they might start by ruling that necklines should be higher than the belly button.
