Pagent Queens or Porn Stars?

I'm no prude, but when I saw the official photos from the Miss USA pagent I felt a little sick. While I was never a beauty pagent girl, I had friends that were so I've been to a lot of pagents large and small. It used to be a tasteful, if somewhat superficial, affair. It was about more than just which girl was the prettiest. Contestants had to be smart, well spoken and well-rounded individuals--most of whom were competing for the scholarship money awarded to the winner. Now, however, it looks like pagents are all about sex. The Miss USA pagent has taken some heat for these photos and rightly so. These girls look more like they're auditioning to be porn stars than pagent queens...
And lest we forget, Miss Alabama:
Pagents have certainly changed a lot over the last few years. It's sad that we've moved away from beaded evening gowns and one-piece swimsuits to skimpy lingere. I guess the old adage is correct--sex sells. I know if I was a young girl I'd think twice about getting on the pagent circuit no matter how much scholarship money they gave me...
