Miss America evening gowns

I was poking around on the internet this afternoon and found on

pictures from the Miss USA pagent being aired tonight. They had a photo gallery of the evening gown competition with at least

2 shots of every contestant wearing her evening gown. All I can say is "wow" - evening gowns have sure changed from what I remember on the pagents when I was a kid. Interesting to look through - don't think I'd let my daughter out of the house wearing any of those gowns though!

Curious. I thought they were all quite covered up, and some even a bit dowdy.

'm thinking an investment in a silicone breast implant factory would be a sure winner. ;->

Actually, several of the gowns are very pretty, and the girls' faces are gorgeous. Of course, with that make-up artist and photographer....

heavens! When I remember some of the slinky evening gowns I had in my skinny youth, evenings without undies were fairly common... Nothing like a VPL to spoil the line of bias cut satin. No thongs in the seventies, either.

They don't leave much to the imagination, do they? I remember a bathing suit from fifty years ago, that is still the sexiest one I've ever seen. It covered her front, it covered her butt, but the sides were open and laced up. It showed absolutely nothing suggestive, and yet was more suggestive because of it. These ladies need to take lessons. I didn't bother to look at all the gowns. By the time I got to 20 I'd seen enough. I don't watch that or any other pageant. They remind me of cattle calls.

other thing they need to be aware of is the delineated circle on the upper chest from silicon implants.

It's a bee-yuu-tee contest. No thinking allowed. Or aloud.

The contestants probably have little or nothing to say about what they wear. I think there are committees made up of sponsors, that sort of thing. All the girls are required to do is throw up lunch, shave or wax thoroughly, put coverstick on every blemish, and smile, smile, smile.

Um....... This is a prime example of why when we see a thread hanging, we CUT it instead of pulling it. Someone really should have told her that before hand.

So seconded....

^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^^ Getting ready for being size zero obviously!

Very thoroughly given those dresses.

Do they get sponsored by their orthodontists as well do you think?

Somehow that all looked so... Old fashioned and OTT. They reminded me of Dame Shirley:
