Topic : 08/03 Caught in the Act

Let me get this straight...

Ms. Nevada or Ms. USA gets thrown out for having pictures of her boobs but she gets praised if she takes the offers from Playboy and Girls Gone Wild?

That's disgustingly messed up.

They shouldn't reveal themselves regardless. Have some class!

beauty queen Kelly thinks she should be able to live in the "Hilton Style of celebrity ok's".  She joined a pagent created to role model & signed papers to affirm it.  Imagine every pagent queen could go crazy stupid and then get another chance when you get caught.  Your supposed to have the personality to do the right thing at the get go.  Cause another was saved dosen't make your plight unfair.  You screwed up!!  BE A ROLE MODEL AN TAKE YOUR LOSS WITH DIGNITY AND LET OTHERS KNOW THERE IS A RIGHT WAY TO LIVE.  IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, AND INSTEAD YOU ARE CRYING THAT IT WASN'T SO BAD.    Joe

It can probably play a mean "Chopsticks" on the piano...LOL

"Whoopee," indeed! I concur w/both you & mrs kida (and others on these boards) about the ridiculous stereotypes perpetuated by pageants, the magazines, and the supermodel mystique. My WYSIWYG point in my orig. post was that at least porn does not pretend to be about anything besides T & A (albeit "dolled-up and fake," I won't argue that one), whereas these pageants attempt to throw a cloak of pseudo-respectability over themselves by paying lip service to talent and poise.

(me venting) I'm considerably shorter than you; I'd like to tell those modeling folks where they can put their height expectations! 

"...women are reduced to looks. Not just by men but by each other."

So are men, especially by women, but to a much lesser extent. A few years ago (maybe more like 12 or 15), I seem to remember a news report about a study (I forget the particulars, such as what institution, # of subjects surveyed, etc.) that suggested, in so many words, that the more "beautiful people," both men and women, were more successful in their chosen fields and were more likely to be in happy marriages than were the "plain Janes (and Johns)."  

Granted, my frame of reference for "beauty" is about 15 years behind yours & gwarrior6's, but I was not impressed by the de-throned Miss Nevada either...I can't either concur or take issue with the Internet porn -- porn-star beauty standard link b/c I watch so little TV and read so few mags that I don't have sufficient data to make a comparison...interesting thought, though!

Have you ever heard someone stumble on their words as this guy. I thought attorneys could speak all languages..... Not Dr. Phils.....LOL

Go Dr. Phil

She should take him to the cleaners.

What a liar.
