Subject: Georgia and Oklahoma both! I blame Georgia's failure on their consistently ugly dresses, and Oklahoma's on their consistently pretty birdbrains.
[> [> [> Subject: Witty, my friend! But I have to defend my "peeps." Miss OK USA 2009 Lauren Lunday is in Dental School. She must have gotten in on her own because I don't think Affirmative Action covers "birdbrains." That is, unless there is a new little box to check that HR needs to know about. We'll take the PRETTY, though. Love you anyway!
[> [> [> [> Subject: I'm sure Meemaw is primarily thinking of Lindsay Hill, Laci Scott, and Lindsay Jo Harrington, all three of whom were arguably the most beautiful girls competing during their years. I'm not sure how Laci missed the Top 5, but obviously the two Lindsays were in contention to win it all until they opened their mouths during interview.
[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Sadly, I don't think that Lindsay Jo Harrington's hair decision for Evening Wear helped her cause much either. It looked a mess!
[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Nope, no jesting here! (And Nichole Holmes, too!) Risking eternal disdain and overwhelming ridicule from Meemaw and OSF, I shall not budge in my loyalty to my big-haired, big-toothed, over-the-top pageant ladies!
[> [> [> Subject: Add Sophia Henderson to that list from 1985.....more stunning than Laura Herring ever dared to be and fell completely apart during interview....
[> [> [> [> Subject: Barker: Do you have a boyfriend? Sophia: Umm...hehehe. Barker: The hell? Sophia: Um. Associates. Barker: You have more than one boyfriend? Sophia: Hehehehehe! She is one of the 25 best faces in the history of Miss USA, but would have been better off just responding "No English." during interview.
[> [> [> [> Subject: Oh and I forgot my best Sophia-ism: "I was in the Ebony Fashion Fair and appeared in 176 cities my first year, and 183 cities my second year." Barker: So, over 400 cities in two years? Sophia: Yes! Um....LOL!!!! Call me, Sophia...if you can recognize the numbers!
