The glamour photos:

I preferred last year's '30s and '40's glamour photos, but the buzz word on a tv interview I saw earlier this week was "relevance."

I like Texas and Vermont.

Hope Johnny gets to ask a question. Will he wear a tux?

I don't know why I still watch these things, but here I am. I don't care for the photos. I don't object to lingerie shots, but most of those are not particularly tasteful or attractive, nor "relevant," IMO. I'm excited to see Johnny and Paula Deen on the judging panel.

I love Johnny and Paula Deen and I bet they hit it off.

Maybe the "relevance" thing is a reference to the Lane Bryant lingerie ads. Errr....probably not.

They look like either hookers or drag queens, or both. Where are Fergus and Beefie for (in)appropriate commentary?

Why isn't Ashley Dupree in there as Miss New York?

I always felt kinda sorry for her. It's hard being on the spot like that, even when you've practiced. Sometimes people just choke. I'm not sure how I would have answered that myself. You can't say "Because a whole bunch of us are fecking idiots, that's why!"

Looks like Trump rewards those who participate on the Apprentice with a gig.

[PrincessLeppard]

I kinda like those sparkly mini-dresses.

[Garden Kitty]

Is this a real pageant? None of these women have done the two hands held out to the audience in shock and thanks move when they're called down?

If anyone can make Johnny gain weight, it's Paula .

Why isn't Ashley Dupree in there as Miss New York?

Because she lives in NJ?

ETA: I wonder if they got to pick the color of sparkly dress they wanted?

[Southpaw]

Did I see a gap tooth smile in that lineup????

Gap tooth FTW!!!!

[Garden Kitty]

Mississippi is moving her head like the animatronic Lincoln at Disneyland

ETA: how tall is Miss Maine?

[PrincessLeppard]

Wheee! Look at all the midwest girls making it through! Nebraska??? Who would've guessed?

And the majority are brunettes!

One spot left...it has to be Texas. Maine? Did Texas not make it through? Did I miss it? Holy pageant upset, Batman!

6'2", according to Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_USA_2010

Miss Colorado is Ivanka-ish. I see about five possibilities to go to Miss Universe. Texas was a not very pretty blond.

[Southpaw]

Team NJ gets shafted again!!!!



We shoulda had Ashley Dupree in there.

Miss Colorado is Ivanka-ish. I see about five possibilities to go to Miss Universe.

I see no possibilities to actually win it, though.

I think Miss Washington got majorly hosed... I was also kinda hoping to see Miss Indiana who rallied against DADT... but I digress.

I need one more look.
