Beauty and the Media Beast
Stop the presses! Miss California gets to keep her crown. Now get we get Carrie Prejean off the stage, please? I’m kind of sick of this Sarah Palin in-the-making. On the other hand, I have to admire the tons of free publicity she’s achieved–for herself and for the beauty pageant, a rather icky relick of a bygone era. Funny how Donald Trump took about five days to “decide,” milking this thing for all it was worth. Brilliant PR. He tread all over the Miss Cali people–and why were they paying for contestants to get boob jobs? That’s sick. Shanna Moakler, not exactly a paragon of pageant primness, has resigned over the squabble. The whole thing is rather amusing, but….enough already.
