Miss America evening gowns

mpictures from the Miss USA pagent being aired tonight.

Oh dear! Several of them seem to have forgotten their undies!!!

Erin (who NEVER leaves home without mine!)

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

This one:

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.

How about this one for "What twas she thinkning???"

That's some hem.

Pretend skirts!

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:

Nothing would surprise me.

Yep!!! LOL!
