So I’m sitting here enjoying the wacky evening gowns worn by the contestants in the Miss Universe pageant, and now they’ve started the swimsuit parade (in which they’re scored among other things, on physical fitness). Okay, I’m done. If I had forgotten how borderline offensive beauty pageants were, I just remembered. And let me just say, of the six women who have paraded by in their swimsuits so far, I could see all of their ribs. I’m officially appalled. (Of course, I’m also a little tickled at how similar this all seems to the film SMILE starring Bruce Dern and Barbara Feldon. ) Oh, and I’m please to say as I typed this, Miss USA pranced by, and I couldn’t see her ribs! She actually had a tiny roll of flesh that showed up under her bathing suit top when she twisted! You go, girl!
The rest is just gravy
