 The recent winner of the Miss America 2011 is the youngest among its title holders since the rules of the beauty pageant changed in 1993. However, before the rules were changed there was already a 15 year-old Miss America in 1933. The 17 year-old Miss America was born in Nebraska, Teresa Scanlan is a student of Scottsbluff High School and dreams to become a politician someday.

I am not really a fan of beauty pageant, although I had experienced joining one when I was in college (I had no choice-it was my professor who asked me to join).  If I had to choose between watching beauty pageants and surfing on bingo sites, I would definitely choose the latter. I have more to gain if I try to play games on these sites rather than watch beauty girls walk around the stage and being judged because of their beauty.

I have nothing against women joining such contests, in fact I admire their courage in facing the crowd. But it is definitely not my cup of tea. I would rather spend my time taking my chances on gaming sites than bore myself to death watching the parade of beauties.

How do you view beauty pageants? Would you dream of having a child as a beauty queen?
