To those who think Miss America is just a silly beauty pageant, I beg to differ. Unlike the Miss U.S.A. Pageant, Miss America awards scholarships to its contestants; the winner of Miss America must posses not only outward beauty, but also inner beauty, as well as talent, poise, and personality. Miss America must have a platform - a cause she feels deeply about - and she speaks across the country on her issue. She is a role model. Gone are the days of the parades along the Atlantic City Boardwalk, of Bert Parks singing, "There she is....Miss America....", of a September crowning. But despite the changes over time, the Miss America Pageant has stayed relevant and fresh - and a great excuse for a party!
Get ready.......There she is!!
**Post-pageant update - rather disappointing this year. See a full review over at Bubba's Mom. Things just aren't what they used to be, are they? It's OK. I still want to be Miss America. Congratulations, Miss Michigan!

And now the Teen Miss America's watch with you!
I'll miss being there.
You're all so lovely I cannot possibly decide. So I choose all of you, unless one of you has a map and stuff. For the kids. The kids need maps, lots and lots of maps. xoxoxo
Have fun, you earned fun.
Those are GREAT photo touches! I actually had to do a double take.
Yeah, okay she's cute and all, but I still think you should be the one. Yes, it really should be you. xo
Love seeing the crowns!
You mean you didn't win? It was rigged! I wanna talk to those judges! They're blind I tell ya!
Thank you all for your love and support. I shall continue to twirl my fire batons and tap dance for World Peace.
that sounds like a blast! What a great tradition. Love the pics!
