    I haven't watched one in years, but was channel surfing last night and found the 2007 pageant, just in time for the swimsuit competition.

    One of the 10 semi-finalists was Miss Utah, obviously a Mormon. The other 9 girls wore very skimpy bikinis, but Miss Utah comes out in a full bathing suit, not high thigh or plunging neckline. It's a suit so ugly and old that I can't imagine anyone wearing it.

    Then it was time for the evening gown competition. All the other 9 girls wore beautiful, glittery gowns, with thigh high leg slits, ample bosom exposure, strapless, or one strap, but Miss Utah wears one that is up to her neck with short sleeves.

    Needless to say, she didn't make the 5 finalists.

    That's all I watched, amazed at her stupidity. What was she thinking? I see her wanting to be modest, but at least pick something attractive.

    Mulan, I don't think the women have much choice in what they wear. Their "outfits" are selected and paid for by the state pageant committees. Wardrobe by committee.

    Maybe she was trying to make a statement that went badly wrong - ie that girl's don't have to be slutty to be beautiful!

    I didn't agree with who won by the way.

    Miss Mississippi made the top 5 :)

    I think #1 should have been 5th.
