What’s the Difference Between the Miss America Pageant and the Miss USA Pageant?
The other notable differences between Miss USA and Miss America are that the Miss America pageant has a talent portion of the competition and the winner of Miss USA goes on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant, the winner of Miss America does not.
Did Miss Nebraska Deserve to Win?
Fort Smith native and Southside High School graduate Alyse Eady, the reigning Miss Arkansas, will compete for the Miss America crown tonight in Las Vegas.
Among pageant events this week in Las Vegas, Eady took part in the Show Me Your Shoes parade Friday at the Paris Las Vegas, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Norm Clarke.
"Pizza!" Eady said. Miss America is celebrating its 90th year. The Miss America Pageant 2011 took place tonight and boy, were there some funny antics to help the beauty contest scholarship program celebrate its 90th anniversary. The girls each said one "pithy" sentence about their state. Highlights included:
* Miss Iowa: "Leading the state in ethanol production, my state gives you gas." * Miss South Carolina called her state "the home of Vanna White." * Miss Utah: "Tonight 53 women share a dream, not a husband." * Miss Washington made a "Twilight" reference. Too bad Chris Hansen isn't the host instead of Chris Harrison.
The finalists are Miss Oklahoma, Miss Nebraska, Miss Texas, Miss Rhode Island, Miss "Polygamy Joke" Utah, Miss "Twilight" Washington, Miss Arizona, Miss Hawaii, Miss Virginia, Miss Arkansas and Miss California (former "American Idol" semi-finalist Arianna Afsar).
In her video package talking about being a young woman today, Miss Arkansas talks about how advantageous it is that she is "racially ambiguous." The America's choice semi-finalists include Miss New York and Miss Delaware and the contestant-voted semi-finalists include Miss Kentucky and Miss Oregon.
Chris Harrison informs us that at the Miss America Pageant we celebrate "health, fitness, self confidence, and -- can I just say it? The girls who advance out of the swimsuits are Texas, Arkansas, Delaware, Arizona, Hawaii, Washington, (we love how Chris Harrison keeps reminding us how many spots are left, like we can't count to 12), Kentucky, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, New York and Nebraska.
The evening gown competition is pretty boring, but we do love Miss Kentucky saying she wants a meat gown or a fish gown, a la Lady Gaga. It's the best part of the pageant. Only five girls advance to the question round. Pretty good.
We just adored her when we watched that pageant as a young girl.
