We've come a long way baby! Remember when Bert Parks sang to the newly crowned Miss America -- "There she is, Miss America. There she is, your ideal." There's another line in there about her being the queen of femininity.
Well take a gander at this year's contestant from Kansas --
I had to enlarge the photo, so it's kind of blurred, but that's the Serenity Prayer tattooed on her side. She has another tattoo on her shoulder. Yeah -- just the sort of ideal I'd want any little girl of mine to aspire to! And I always did think tattoos were just sooooo feminine! Bert Parks is spinning in his grave!
Miss Kansas says she had the prayer inked onto her body to remind her of her past, etc., etc. -- a bunch of saccharine drivel. Think about it -- does she twist her head around exorcist style and read it upside down every day? Seems to me it would have been better to have it tattooed upside down on her stomach, then she could just look down and read it right side up. Or have it tattooed right side up and in reverse, then she could just look in the mirror.
I predicted yesterday that Miss Iowa would win the competition, but she may be a little un-pc compared to Miss Kansas. Tough decision for the judges!
