Miss Venezuela may have won Miss Universe this year but at the other end of the spectrum, it looks like Katie “Jordan” Price walked away with the Miss Vegas Showgirl Who Wandered into a Booksigning title.

Gotta say I don’t envy these girls one bit, nope not at all.  No matter how nubile you are there are only so many ways you can pose alluringly against a pedal boat before your back gives out and arms fall off.

Be honest now, what do you think of Miss USA’s chances in this year’s contest? I really don’t think her heart is in it – her costume suggests that she would much rather be participating in something way more prestigious and well-loved, like a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. 

Her advisers must be of the “sashay softly and carry a big stick” school of thought. Not the most scrupulous approach but a well-timed swing could wipe out all those wimps dressed in nothing but feathered headdresses.  And if all else fails, it would still make a great Pepsi commercial, yes?
