And here is the next contestant on “Go Woke, Go Broke”…
To be honest, I have no idea who even watches Miss America. Someone who replied to me on social media said that it’s mostly women who do, so I guess they’re happy with the change. Instead of evening gowns and swimsuits, what do we have to look forward to? I’m guessing sweatpants and social justice politics.
The organization is also getting rid of the evening gown portion of the competition and instead asking contestants to wear attire that makes them feel confident and expresses their personal style. The contestants will also discuss how they will advance their chosen causes, called “social impact initiatives” by the Miss America Organization.
Okay, that sounds…painful. Good luck with all that.
In the spirit of inclusivity, I hope that Miss America will soon be courageous enough to admit some contestants that appeal to pansexuals. I know of one who is definitely interested in these “social impact initiatives”.

Ah, yes, what comes out of their mouths:

Miss America, you mean like this?

A pussy hat and a “I’m a nasty woman” sweatshirt, along with a severed pair of testicles hanging around her neck, worn like a trophy.
Speaking of Playboy, I remember when it actually was a pretty good magazine. The second date I took my wife on (her choice BTW) was the Playboy Club in Century City/ L.A. Don’t make fun of the articles, back then it was a polished periodical with valuable stuff about fashion, short fiction, music, alcohol mixology, and proper male conduct. They were pioneers is their dedication to “No means no”.
It’s Tuesday, so Piers Morgan and I agree on something. By Friday, I’m sure he’ll call for repealing the 2nd Amendment.

Absolutely agree that Playboy was a great magazine. When I started dating my wife I couldn’t believe it when I found an issue at her parents place (where she still lived). They subscribed. The best long form interviews of all magazines, and it was pre-internet.
Rich, we should mark this ocassion, as we’ve agreed on something. Doesn’t happen often.
So I better finish with a reference to the fact that HPV and HIV are different, those women may not have known that, but then they’re not expected to have a basic grasp….
For a few years, as birthday presents, I was tracking down and giving my buddies the Playboy issue from their birth month/year.
In the process, I started collecting older ones, too. There’s something amazingly surreal about reading a review about an upcoming Beatles album.
Yes, I know that, and I bet Trump knew it as well. Maybe it was a honest mistake and he got them confused.
We agree on lots of stuff. I don’t think you are a commie and I don’t think you parrot the latest leftest jargon without giving it some thought before hand. But blogging is mostly about arguing about the differences, so here we are.
For many many years it was probably top 5 magazines you had to subscribe to. Of course that was also back when magazines were relevant. They were always progressive but back then that was a good thing. I mentioned women’s rights, which they pioneered, but I remember reading Ray Bradbury’s “Sound of Thunder” in Playboy and it blew me away. From that point forward I was hooked on short fiction.
Incidentally CM, next March the wife and I are taking a 22 day Aussie/New Zealand vacation, will be spending about 10 day in NZ. I’ll get with you before hand to make sure I don’t miss any “Must sees” in your beautiful country.
I’d recommend staying away from that tower with the big eyeball on it. It’s near a volcano.
I’ve never been to the north island except via airport. But the south island still stands as the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to on the entire planet.
