I know that beauty pageants are a something of a small joke however I was pleased to watch the show tonight as they all amazlingly well. However Just because I was bored and now I am watching the greatest of all Comedies Auntie Mame with the only one who could do it justice Rosalind Russell. I thought I would throw some tidbits about the Miss america pageant out there.
