But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Being in pageants, I think. Go Miss USA, with the goal-setting!

Pageants and then motivational speaking. This is what I'm saying about Kate Schindle! She actually has a career other than "former Miss America"!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, Miss Montenegro wants to be a parapsychologist! The truth is out there, yo!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The 1970s called. They want their upholstery back.

Miss Ukraine is not only wearing a chain-link chastity belt, she appears to have spilled some pesto down the side of her dress.

Oh, god. Done. That was the best hour in a long time.

Query: What's with the fucking Olan Mills senior pix background? Couldn't they have found a hotel sheet or something?

Now she's just an actress! In Legally Blonde! I think she may have been the last Miss America I paid attention to, which is why she's stuck with me. I think her platform was AIDS prevention, which was pretty radical, too.

Are you kidding me?? I LOVE that Miss Dominican Republic's national costume is like, vaguely applicable to her nation!!! And to her nation today, not just to some vague theme of "my nation three hundred years ago maybe sorta someone kinda wore something like this once? Only longer?" I thought it was awesome!! Beisból for the win, hermanos!!

Wow. That's either really bad lighting or really bad clothing design choices. Either way, I think somebody on the Miss Universe staff hates Miss Ukraine.
