Apparently the story that refuses to die has grown another head. Carrie Prejean, the current Miss California who became involved in an insipid, semi-philosophical slap-fight with annoying celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, may soon lose her crown. And no, in case you were wondering, it has nothing at all to do with her views on gay marriage. At least that's the position of the Miss California pageant officials who will decide her fate.
No, it seems this tempest resides in an entirely different teapot. Miss Prejean, it's alleged, lied on her pageant entry form. And boy, was this one a biggie. You see, when you apply to compete in the Miss California Pageant, you have to disclose any naughty pictures you've had taken of yourself. This is to avoid any embarrassment a'la Vanessa Williams from befalling the organization when the pictures surface.
Well, they surfaced. Apparently when Carrie Prejean was 17 she was convinved to do a topless photo shoot as an audition to become a Victoria's Secret model.
Her agent has tried to get out in front of this scandal by painting Prejean as a naive teenager of whom advantage was taken by an unscrupulous photographer...and that may well be the case. After all, she was just 17 when the shoot took place. However the pageant isn't talking about stripping her of the title because of the pictures...it's because she lied about the pictures.
So just to set this straight, the woman who was being portrayed as the new, attractive face of traditional conservatism is now alleged to have posed with her breasts hanging in the camera as a 17-year-old, and then having lied about it on her ap. Wow...that's quite a blow struck for traditional values there. And on top of that, this is actually scandal number two for her. Remember, it was just about two weeks ago that the Miss California organization admitted that they had paid for Prejean's breast augmentation to improve her chances of becoming Miss America, kinda making her the A-Rod of the pageant set. As a strong supporter of Traditional American Breasts, I must protest her actions wholeheartedly.
Boy...posing nude...lying...competing unfairly...good to see we have such a strong role model for the young ladies of California to admire.
