I Love That a 26-Year-Old Won the Miss USA Pageant

Congrats to Crystle Stewart, the 26-year-old entrepreneur who was crowned Miss USA on Friday night.

I watched about the first eight minutes of the pageant. After that, I decided to sit on my bed and stare at the wall, because it was more interesting. And the Osmonds weren’t on my wall.

Anyway, in the eight minutes that I watched, they introduced all the contestants. They were all, like, 20 years old. It made me feel sad and old. And then there were a handful of, like, 26-year-olds, and I was like, “Oh, token old people,” but then one of them actually won! I guess, after the Tara Conner mess, officials over there are trying to find beauty queens with a little more maturity. And I guess they figure that if you haven’t developed a cocaine problem by 26, you’re in the clear.

I have to admit I have a soft spot in my heart for Tara Conner, though. She weathered all that insanity with a lot of grace, and, when push came to shove, was willing to tackle her drug and alcohol problem head-on. I give her a lot of credit for that; I think, in a strange way, it actually makes her a really good role model.

But from the little that I’ve read, this Crystle girl seems smart, confident and together. Maybe she won’t have to go to rehab to be a strong, positive female role model. Crystle mentioned that she’s one of a handful of black women to be crowned Miss USA. That’s awesome, but I think it’s also worth noting that her eyes are freakishly far apart. Seriously it’s like one of her eyes is at the pageant in Las Vegas and the other is chillin’ in Reno. I don’t think Miss USA has ever crowned a winner with eyes that far apart. So she’s really also making great strides for women everywhere with freakishly far-apart eyes. Beyond that, though, she’s really pretty.

  • When i got to the part about one eye being in the pageant and the other in Reno, I spit out my coffee laughing.

    You owe me a keyboard Beet.

  • Dude, I watched for 15 seconds and then muted. Then I changed it after 3 minutes. I used to like these when I was younger, but now I couldn’t give a crap.

    Ya know what bugs me though? Marie Osmond starved herself to death to fit into her dresses on Dancing with the Stars and proof being the fainting spell she presented. And now, she’s representing Nutrisystem as if she had been doing it all along. WTF??!!! What a lie! Do we look stupid?? F**k Nutrisystem and their lies and her too. Blah! She looks great though.

  • I went to college with this girl! I can say that she is really nice, but I can see why you would say that thing about her eyes.

  • Honestly… I knew she’d win because she’s the ugliest one there and a minority, on a seperate note. I swear every “beauty” pageant is like a politically correct/pity pageant these days. They never pick the actually pretty ones but that’s the whole point Of course the hot blonde is supposed to win. But of course Miss Wyoming didn’t even make the first cut and she was the most beautiful AND unique I’d say. California had her charms too. All this Texas bitch (or whatever state she came from) needed was an American Flag evening gown to typical the whole thing up. Let’s all admit it, it’s not really a beauty pageant anymore and hasn’t been for a bit. Who’s judging things?? Oh yeah… Rob Scnieder and Heather Mills. Great.

  • i kinda agree with jae…..when the deaf girl got crowned that one year, i knew something was amiss
