Being a fan of pageants sure isn't easy these days...
So yeah, I'm a feminist who played with Barbies and watched pageants growing up, and now I let my daughters do the same. Never had a problem with body image, because my mother and other women in my life gave balance to the parade of near-impossible "perfection." Pageants are all in good fun. Until now.
It was bad enough when I had to fast-forward past Perez Hilton's question during the Miss USA broadcast last month. Now I have to be viligant in keeping little eyes and ears around here from catching wind of all the "controversy" surrounding Miss California.
Today a website released a photo of her that is somewhat risque. (I hate to give the site more traffic, but for the sake of the argument, I guess you have to see it. It's at www.thedirty.com) I would definitely not want my girls to see this photo, but it does not fall outside the realm of usual underwear ad material these days. Seriously, you see much worse in any Abercrombie catalog.
I'm not thrilled that Miss California did this -- more from the feminist point of view than the "moral" one -- but I think I was more disappointed when I noticed during the broadcast that she obviously had a boob job. And then to find out

Gay marriage supporter bashing ok -- as long as it's civil.
Let's show we're the classier crowd.
She looks pretty perfect to me.
If she’s not perfect, she’s as close to perfect as anyone I’ve ever seen.
hehe
Gee, you managed to get in all the accumulated dirt in one, petty, bitchy “article”. Keeping it alive to get some hits? Pathetic.
I’m sorry....gloves off ...I don’t give a damn about being classy. Classy, if you can call us that got us McCain (staying with a loser in the face of puking up our principles), classy got us tolerance and ‘consideration for others. Screw it, Homosexuality is deviancy, plain and simple. Castigating someone for showing the side of her boob and a butt shot in underwear isn’t what I’d call hypocracy.
Even if she were a stripper or prostitute, that would not change the fact that it is perfectly reasonable for anyone to believe and state that men should marry women, and vice versa.
Flopping Aces has a take on this also.

Look. This is nothing more than desperation by leftist loonies and homo-nazi’s as they look for something - anything - to attack a white Christian beauty queen who believes that homosexuality is a sin.
Yeah...Perez Hilton has set the bar pretty high.
Yawn... her beauty is essential to her career... a few racy poses mean.. nothing, morally speaking.
Who says!
Miss California USA - Carrie Prejean
So she did an ad for pink undies and these people are in a tizzy?
Sheesh.
Is this what they did to Anita Bryant?
Yes. They destroyed her.
My kids would say, “Oh, look! That lady’s going to feed her baby!”
Cripes. We live in a world where 15 year old girls are sexting nude pics to their better half (which these days, very well might mean another girl).
Let it go already. The ONLY reason people are after dirt on her is because of what she said.
Perez Hilton ain't exactly "perfect" either.
"Perez Hilton is known for his flamboyant and outrageous behavior"
I heard christian women who support traditional marriage are like barbie dolls—no nipples or genitalia. From those pictures, I still can’t tell. This is a career-ending bombshell???
Anything to disparage someone’s ideology ....can’t fault their ideology then attack the person .....
You know, the bikini she wore in the pageant revealed more than this pic. Much ado about nothing...!
