Miss Universe

I didn't watch the Miss Universe. But, I saw the highlights on Sportscenter or one of those channels. The woman from USA slipped and fell. This is now the second year in a row that the USA woman has fallen. Are these women taking dives? If this were an Olympic boxing match, someone would be investigating.

Really though, are wearing heels with a bathing suit necessary? How bizarre is that? I'll admit, I love watching a woman walk in heels. If they're wearing a nice dress or business suit. And, nothing wrong with an attractive woman in a bathing suit. But, the two together don't work.

Is Donald Trump still involved with this thing? He's bizarre, too. It's like he's sitting there trying to pick out a future wife. And you know he's dying to tell the women "You're fired!"

I heard the gal that won...can't remember where she was from, maybe Venezuela. I'm sure I'll find out when someone posts that I don't do enough research on these and that I'm lazy and a poor writer. Anyway, she was apparently kidnapped a few years back. But, the few times I heard this on the news, I didn't get any details. Was she kidnapped because she was hot? How was she rescued? Tell us! Maybe her talent portion was showing how to escape from being tied to a chair.

And, as silly as I think beauty pagaents are, if we're going to continue to have them, can we at least change the name of this one?

It's called Miss Universe. Does this mean the woman that won beat out the chick from Venus? Call it Miss World or Miss Earth. At least until we start letting martians compete.
