So I am sitting here watching Miss USA 2010, wishing I was in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino for the Miss USA 2010 Pageant. I love watching the introduction of the contestants and picking my favorites. The first girl to catch my eye was Miss California, Nicole Michele Johnson. Besides her obvious beauty, she has confidence and poise. In my ranking of my top 5 girls she is definitely number 1. A close second is Miss Tennessee, Tucker Perry.
I must say, though, I was distracted from the competition when Joan & Melissa Rivers appeared giving their opinions of the girls and their opinions of what the show was going to be like. They were introduced as “fashion icons.” Really??? How old is Joan Rivers? And her daughter Melissa? She only appears on shows as a “fashion icon & expert” because of her mom. There are MUCH better people out there to comment on the fashion aspect of the show.
As I continued watching, I became even more appalled at the way Joan was talking. The Miss USA pageant is a competition that so many young girls watch and they dream about becoming Miss USA. I know I did…if only I had longer legs! I would be appalled if I had a daughter watching this show. Joan’s language is NOT appropriate for Miss USA. Here is a direct quote from Joan: Did you know that they wanted me to literally be in the swimsuit competition? But “all the men in the audience would have gone home and fantasized about having sex with their own wives.” Does anyone really think that is funny? Is that setting an example for all the young kids out there watching the show? Donald Trump made an example of Carrie Prejean, which I thought was very respectable. From watching the Celebrity Apprentice, I know he is a fan of Joan Rivers, but seriously? Maybe it’s time for her to retire from this business. She only reaches audiences of a certain age!
On another note…Curtis Stone. I personally love Curtis Stone and was so excited to see him host the show tonight. But, does anyone think it’s strange that an Aussie is hosting Miss USA? It doesn’t bother me at all, but I thought it was a bit ironic. Mr. Trump…can we take this to mean that Curtis wins the Celebrity Apprentice, or is it all a big coincidence?
All in all I am still excited to watch the show and see what happens. My 2 favs have just made it into the top 10…I always pick the winners! We’ll have to wait and see what happens next…stay tuned!
On May 21, Texas’ Next Top Designer held a gala at LFT in Victory Park to introduce the top 10 finalists and announce the 2009 winner. Sew Sister, designed by Austin’s Megan Summerville, was announced as the winner and received a prize package worth $40,000 for her lingerie line.
