Readers, here is something for your Monday morning. Enjoy! Even beauty queens have bad days…
As if the world couldn’t think America was any dumber, we were shamed at the Miss Universe pageant, the Olympics of Beauty, for the second year in a row. Here is what the UK’s Times Online had to say (why are Brits so much funnier even in their news ledes?!):
For the second year in succession, the American entrant in the Miss Universe pageant failed to meet the crucial challenge of walking and smiling at the same time.
Crystle Stewart, from Texas, tripped and fell on stage at the global beauty contest today, just as Miss USA did last year. She failed to make the final, which was won by Miss Venezuela, a former kidnap victim.
Failed to meet the crucial challenge of walking and smiling? HAHA. But seriously, don’t sweat it girl, because you weren’t going to beat a kidnap victim anyway. I mean, COME ON, that’s intense and she deserves to win. Here she is. Rawr.
And I know I said America was shamed earlier, but I was being sarcastic (shocker, I know). I can totally relate to Crystle because I take diggers all the time. So Crystle, I know that you are probably curled up on your bed with tons of decorative pillows, eating full bricks of chocolate and watching Pride and Prejudice (the six A&E hour version) with mascara running down your face but I want you to know it’s going to be okay. You’re still incredibly hot and you still probably want world peace, so get out there and do it. We still love you! And probably didn’t know who you were before this.

six words to change the world. 
Um, did anyone else notice how slutty the dresses have gotten? Two of them barely looked like dresses. My mom gave me the following commentary while she watched and I was in the other room: “Oh, slutty dress number one is gone! Ahhh yes, slutty number two is gone too!”
I don’t remember what countries they were from, but they were slutty. Miss Venezuela’s dress was amazing, and only slutty in the sense that you could almost see her labia.
i like that she held the front slit open. good idea.
