Last night, America carried on its?proud?tradition of tacky beauty pageants, crowning 2013’s Miss USA and effectively reinforcing that beauty pageants are horrible.
The big winner was Erin Brady, Miss Connecticut. She’s?an accountant or some shit, comparatively well-spoken (which isn’t really saying much), and?altogether?lovely. Many of the contestants look shockingly rough … a bit drag-queeny with their packed-on make-up, grumpy bordering on feral from near-starvation, and undoubtedly truly agonized by the weight of those ridiculously over-sized chandelier earrings.
This stuff about Miss California Carrie Prejean is a mess. It’s a mess that only a man can fix.
The best thing about the Miss USA pageant isn’t the anachronistic mass objectification of women, or all the tits.
