When they meet one standard and or rise above one controversy they will fall to another. I don't understand how parading around in a skimpy bikini on a stage for millions to watch and few to judge is considered alright yet old modeling semi nude photos aren't. At this point if I were Miss California I really don't think I'd want to be representing a program that operates that backwards and therefore I'd forfeit my crown and give them a piece of my mind by expressing my opinion. I realize it's a bit more complicated for her and im not in that situation, but i could see myself doing that. - JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206706.post-35472471296650812602009-05-05T15:08:00.000-04:002009-05-05T15:08:00.000-04:00I hate the whole pageant thing too.

It's a skin show and it should have been left a skin show. The whole thing has never been more than a popularity contest. Ask Vanessa Williams how she feels about losing her crown because of nude photos. But another pageant winner, who was a spokesperson for M.A.D.D. gets caught for underage drinking, and she gets a slap on the wrist. I have a problem with that! I have more of a problem with hypocrits than with anyone posing nude. This is why pageants are nothing more than popularity contests. This is why nothing about them promotes good role models for little girls. Pageants are about adults who want to be judged on their beauty.<br /><br />I don't agree with Prejean's comments either, but in America, she has a right to say what she feels. And I think she has a right to pose nude or semi-nude. I think it's pretty funny that people feel Christians shouldn't be models. Christians are in all walks of life and taking off their clothes has nothing to do with Christianity. A person should be judged by their character - something the pageant pretends to care about.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698008029446899229noreply@blogger.com
