it kind of looks like she's on the stage at Mary's Club, a Portland Or Burlesque place still in operation by the original owners (well, their descendants) today. I proudly danced there too! Would love if anyone can confirm this.

@wednesdayam: I dig Mayan men as well. There is something very gentle about them. All the men I've met of mainly Mayan ancestry (even the most recent generation!) are very soft-spoken, somewhat poetic, hard-working, and dedicated to their families. Sorry if that is a stereotype, but it s a good one.

Her name is Brandi Smith. Of course.

I feel like I know you Hortense! I had a similar pair of shoes—red velvet converse—which I also got in the early 90's as part of my transition to "cool" 8th grader—-that I literally wore until they fell apart. I think they were still on my feet when the last seam broke and I had to hobble home. I still usually buy…

a ggg graduation gift: good hairdryer, good microwave, and gift certificate for dry cleaning. And yes, it must be a gift certificate, because if your parents give you cash, you know you will blow that and not spend it on dry cleaning and go to an interview in a wrinkly shirt.

@battleaxonista...is a humorless bitch: How are they incompetent? Naps always constitute an evolutionary advantage.

It makes me feel a little bit better to know y'all have only been around since 2007. I only discovered you in 2008 when I moved to NY and was like, wow, what else is on the internetz that I didn't know about, and how did I live without you?

@titchytiny: ZOMG. Why the hell am I in law school when I could have that job?! Why?

Whatever, I'm a heterosexual female and I'd do Rima. I would not do Miss Okie Rosasharn. There's a "Grapes of Wrath" joke in here somewhere—John Stewart, come through for me, please! That's pretty much all these beauty pageants come down to. An expensive, shallow version of Fuck, Marry, Kill.

I'm sorry mom, I know you did your best, but I want Kingston Rossdale's childhood!

Awesome....isn't this a Loretta Lynn Song?

@hughman: The "human bathmat" thing really got me. "Its you know, midgets with dreadlocks lying on their stomachs" LOL

Fun facts to totally undermine all the faux "shock" over her pole dancing crown. Miss America started as just a bathing beauty contest in Atlantic City. Until about 1936 the winner was crowned wearing a suit. Catalina Swimwear was a big sponsor and the winner was expected to model/promote their product.

@LadyTudorRose: That looks like one of those haunted photos that follow you with their eyes.

@maggieboo: I know. Tyra was such a passive aggressive bitch to him like she was when Sasha Grey was on. She was like would you like to have a baby out of the tip of your penis? And he was like "I don't even think thats a question"

I'm not buying any until they come out with a scent called "Fancy panties"

aaahh! Creepy Dad! makes me want to take a shower and make out with my un-creepy bf. Where is her mother? and why do I immediately suspect creepy dad killed her because it turned out she was a slut?

@missinaction: like making love to a dead Canadian bear!

@pond-side-over: Yes! I want to nuzzle up against that hat! like making love to a panda.

@Ofmyself: This made my day! Is that Andy Samberg pre-SNL?
