So the Miss USA pageant is in the news. Like they didn't plan this PR stunt...
They took some promo modeling photos of the contestants and they're provocative. Granted, they're done really well. Black and white, great photographer, styled well. If you haven't seen them, Google it. Hot. I wouldn't call them softcore porn (as some people have), but they're on par with Victoria's Secret.
The hubbub is from folks who think of beauty pageants from the days of Miss America and little girls sitting glued to the television. Emulating these "scholarship contestants".
Let's be clear: the wholesome Miss America mystique is dead, and Donald Trump's Miss USA is dancing on her grave. Don't like it? Don't watch it. But it's a sign of the times.
Now...I would hope none of the contestants was coerced into showing more than she was comfortable with. And if I had a kid I wouldn't be watching pageants with them. Or entering them into pageants - have you seen that TLC reality show "Toddlers and Tiaras"? That shit is twisted...but that's a whole other post.
But barring those things, I'm decidedly "eh" about this issue. Beauty pageants have become adults-only viewing. And by "adults only", I pretty much mean me and my girlfriends, a pitcher of margaritas, and a whole lot of "holy hell have you seen that DRESS?!"
Much like the internet, television has got something for all ages and tastes. It's up to you to decide and monitor what you watch or look for. If you're looking for tits and ass, Donald Trump and his girls have got some for ya. Yee haw! See ya there ;)
Your thoughts? Will you be watching? What do you think of the "racy" photos? Who's your favorite model/state/contestant/future porn star/errr...you know what I mean?

Hey! I'm going to start doing an "Ask Miss Julie" post on Fridays. So let me know your questions! Advice, tips, questions about my experiences? Feel free to ask. Keep the questions generally respectful and I won't have a problem with them. If it's something I don't feel like answering...don't worry, I won't ;) LOL But you know me, I'm pretty open for talking anything sex!
