I had a similar experience thiry-five years ago in Mobile, Alabama... I was there for three days and never saw a girl that wasn't at least pretty and most were gorgeous. I thought I might write a story about them killing or locking up all the ugly girls.
I believe that Alabama has produced the most Miss Americas.
I remember stopping at a Stuckeys in Mississippi and a girl coming out and pumping gas. She was absolutely stunning. I thought, goodness, this girl is prettier than most movie stars, tastefully made up, and here she is pumping gas.
