Miss California ???

[hiitdogs]

While I agree w/you Carola--do you think those nude photos ever would've surfaced if the media hadn't gone nuts over this story? Which I'm 100% certain was b/c of Perez. I can't remember exactly what he called her the next morning, but I do know it includede the word b*tch, which was pretty much the match that lit the firestorm.

I don't know, it's hard to say. A few years back nude photos of Miss Nevada appeared and I don't think that she said anythying "divisive". It's just the way the media works these days, trying to dig up the dirt on every one in the spotlight.

That being said, I found Perez Hilton's question inappropriate and I think he is a jerk! However, someone who competes in the Miss USA pageant should be capable of giving a more diplomatic answer - even to an inappropriate question - without selling out her beliefs IMO. After all, isn't that pageant supposed to be not only about beauty but also about poise, or did I watch too much Miss Congeniality ?

But why does everyone want a boob job??? I don't get it. I have really small boobs, but they are my boobs and I'm not in any hurry to change them. If I had to have my boobs removed for cancer or something, I would probably want to have some form of boobs back but not BIG BOOBS. Is it just me or does everyone focus WAY too much on boobs?????

I think the reasons for wanting breast augmentation vary, with some women making what I find to be reasonable choices, and others whose actions (the chicks with gigantic breasts...I'm talking the skin-stretching, huge, bowling-ball ones) leave me puzzled.

If the majority of Miss CA's competition had perky, big breasts, then I wouldn't be surprised if she felt pressured to measure up. The push to be society's current picture of "perfect" cannot be greater than within the beatuy contest culture.

As for the rest of our culture, who knows. There was a time when it was beautiful to be pale and slightly plump. Skinny was viewed as unattractive and sickly. *shrug* Culture shifts are funny that way.

At barely a B cup, I myself wouldn't mind slightly larger breasts. I would enjoy having cleavage finally. But I'm not willing to put myself under the knife for it at this point. I've spent my whole life with the body of a 16 year old essentially ~ one who is just developing ~ and it's not all bad.

Actually, the Miss USA pageant is really nothing more than a modeling contest, hence Donald Trump's involvement and willingness to forgive (this chick will make him $$). It's not like Miss America where you have to show a talent, a brain cell, etc.

I'm pretty much surprised that any of the Miss USA chicks can string 3 coherent words together.

A friend and I did a local pageant when we were in high school (we wanted to wear our prom dresses again ). It was an interesting experience to say the least...those pageants moms on TV are REALLY like that in real life.

I don't get the whole boob thing either Ellie. Obviously I was joking in my earlier post re:the boob job. I am perfectly happy with my small size also. I like the way God made me & wouldn't change them. No back aches, no jiggle & my bras are cheaper!! Still buy them in the juniors section.....

Aaah! Didn't know they had Miss America and Miss USA.

Good point about the Donald's involvement!

I'm with Ellie on this one. I hate getting flu shots! I get squeamish during an echo cardiogram! I don't sure as heck need to go through that much trauma for a big rack that's going to get in my way. No offense to those with more intestinal fortitude and a desire for bigger bazooms.

I think that small boobs are cute! I love how Kate Hudson can wear pretty much whatever she wants.

I think the question by Perez was totally out of line. Talk about being ambushed. It's almost like he was waiting there going "please give me the homophobic answer so I can use the b-word" . . geeze

And this guy makes over $100000 a month from the ad's on his website. Unfortunately money doesn't give you class. He has proved that.
