Miss America

When I was young my Mom, my sister, and I liked to watch the Miss America pageant together.  We would make lists of our favorites and we were quite vocal about who we did NOT like!  It's a girl thing.  Last night I saw a few minutes of the new "jazzier", as they are calling it, pageant and I was disappointed!  First of all, the girls were all homely!  I know this makes me sound shallow, but I kept checking to see if it was some other kind of bizarre, unheard of event.  Nope.  Then, the talent was pitiful, too.  The singing- ugh!  Miss Virginia did do a wonderful ballet number from the Nutcracker, though.  I am sad to say that I did not have any desire to watch until the end.  Maybe I just needed my Mom and sister so we could make catty comments??  Maybe I'm just getting old- ugh.
