jon, your boyfriend has some rather feminine sounding dimensions.

Not being a homophobe Adam, I don’t take that comment to be derogatory as your single brain cell obviously meant it to be.

They all had a brain fart too? But what about the question itself .. Hilarious! Maybe I’m crazy, but the whole audience applauded.. They all had a brain fart too?

Don't get me wrong, looks are pretty cool, but if I was to talk to someone like this for less than a nano second, i'd move on. I'm happy to be with a hardworing nurse in the UK, who just happens to be a blonde with a 36 28 34 frame. Could I have prayed for better? Maybe not....... brains and beauty.........perfect ;) I'm a happy chappy! Jonny Well, at the risk of sounding like a moralistic fairy tale, I see beauty from within.

But keep in mind these girls have most likely been doing this since they were children, that's how you get to this level. So I am not sure I buy the nervous thing assuming she has been in pageants for years. I think she did not have an answer and just started taking in her pageant-speak. which means throw in key phrases, the appropriate PC gibberish, and out comes some nonsense. These pageants are silly anyway that's why they keep having trouble finding channels to broadcast them on. Unfortunately she might be one of these that can't find the us on the map based on her answer. Her answer should have been short and to the point: The US educational system has chosen to focus on self esteem based results and not hard knowledge thru repetition and letter grades. Instead we have chosen to dumb down learning so the really slow people don't feel so bad. End result most kids don't learn much that is of any real use in the world..we need to take lessons from the past. how did we turn out so many brilliant thinkers, writers, scientists 50 years ago?? surely not teaching kids the way we do today. yes it was funny.

If you listened to what she said, it made no sense at all....it wasn't even rational. Probably all happened as a result of anxiety. She had a brain fart.
