Nora: I’m sorry, Ladies…all this work stuff is driving me crazy. I know we’re supposed to get together Tuesday but once again, I got called in at work to meet with some clients out of town so I apologize.
Lorna: That’s okay. I know how that goes. I’ve been so busy at work myself.
Vilma: Ladies, as expected this week, Miss USA finally posted all the official photos of the candidates.
Nora: I know. What did you guys think of the glamour shots?
Lorna: Very glamorous indeed!
Vilma: I really liked it. I didn’t even recognize some of the contestants with their wild hair and makeup.
Nora: Which one is your favorite? My personal favorite is Miss Hawaii. I love red and she looked fierce in that picture.
Vilma: I like Miss Indiana’s shot. I love that funky thing they did to her hair. It’s easier to play with long hair.
Lorna: I like Miss Wyoming’s. Speaking of Wyoming…this girl is growing on me. I think she looks amazing in swimsuit. I just hope she doesn’t use that purple gown in the preliminaries.
Nora: You know what? I had the same thought the other day. She is starting to become a great contender for me. She looks great and photographs really well.
Vilma: I know that those gowns are not necessarily what they will be wearing during the preliminaries but any of them you wish they would?
Nora: Definitely Virginia! I love, love, love this gown. It fits her perfectly. So I hope she does wear that in the pageant. She will score big on that.
Lorna: I love that gown too. I think the color is wonderful! It’s sexy but not vulgar.
Vilma: I cannot believe we all picked the same gown. I also like that gown! I love Miss Missouri’s gown too. I hope she wears that in the pageant.
Lorna: Let’s emphasize again that the gowns shown in the pictures are not necessarily what they will wear in the pageant so let’s make that clear to everyone.
Nora: Is there any of those gown you wish they would not wear during the pageant?
Lorna: Definitely Connecticut’s. She looks like she’s wearing a giant plastic Solo cup. So for your own sake, Regina, do not wear that!
Vilma: Mine would be Miss Ohio’s. Dear God…that gown is what I call a senior prom gown. If she wants to make top 15, she better not wear that gown.
Nora: I’m hoping that our very own Angelina Kayyaleynen doesn’t wear that pink gown in the pageant. That’s not her color. I love the color of the gown she wore at the state finals so I wish she would wear something in that color palette.
Lorna: What about the swimsuits? Who has the best bods out there?
Nora: It’s interesting because I think that the ones with the best bodies are Miss Nebraska, Miss New Hampshire, Miss Illinois, Miss Virginia and Miss Wyoming.
Vilma: I really can’t tell with some of them because of the way they posed. I hate the “Samantha Casey” pose!!! It’s the ones that have their back on the camera and showing their behinds. God, I was so irritated last year when Miss Virginia, Samantha Casey did that with all her photos. She even did it during the finals…yuck!
Nora: Maybe she’s trying to show off her best asset…which I guess is her behind.
Lorna: It doesn’t matter…it’s still annoying!
Nora: Okay, let’s get on with our state by state review. We are doing Missouri to New Hampshire. Let’s start with Hope Driskill, Miss Missouri.
Vilma: I’m a total fan! I love the evening gown she’s wearing in the pictures so I hope she wears that in the pageant. I think she’ll be in the top 15.
Nora: I think so too! Missouri made top 10 last year with Ashley Strohmier. I hated that Gatorade gown she wore in the finals. What was she thinking?!
Lorna: At least she made top 10. I think Hope will equal or even top that this year.
Vilma: Statistically, Missouri has done really well in recent years and I think Hope will keep that streak going.
Lorna: Next is Miss Montana, Brittany Wiser.
Nora: You know, she has some bad angles but I think she is gorgeous. Not sure if she’ll make top 15 but if she does, I will be very happy.
Vilma: I think she looks better in person. She has an amazing body and believe it or not, I like that red gown in the picture. I hope she wears that one in the pageant.
Nora: Last year’s Miss Montana was gorgeous! Not sure why Annie didn’t make the semifinals. I would have picked her over Mississippi.
Lorna: Historically, Montana has not done very well at Miss USA. They’ve only made the semifinals 3 times and the last time they placed was in 1958. That’s not looking good for Brittany.
Lorna: I do wish her well.
Nora: Next on the list is Nebraska, Haley Herold.
Vilma: She has an amazing body! I’m not sure if that’s going to be enough.
Lorna: Belinda Wright made top 15 last year and won Miss Congeniality. I’m not sure if Haley would do as well as Belinda did.
Vilma: It will be tough. But, they did win Miss America this year so who knows.
Lorna: Our next candidate is the hometown girl, Miss Nevada, Sarah Chapman. What do you ladies think?
Nora: I think Sarah will make top 15. It’s time for the hometown girl to make good. She’s very photogenic and the press loves her. She’s been getting a lot of good press lately and she’s consistently putting herself out there. Plus, she’s a blonde and I’m sure Donald Trump will be all over her.
Vilma: I think she’s got the goods to do well in this pageant. She just needs NOT to be over confident because that will be her downfall.
Lorna: Well, Nevada is not very consistent historically. They did place in the top 5 in 2007 with Helen Salas, who was not even the crowned Miss Nevada USA that year. Helen was only the 1st Runner Up after the dethronement of Katie Rees.
Nora: I would love to see Sarah do well.
Vilma: And finally, Miss New Hampshire, LaceyJane Folger.
Nora: I would kill to have a body like hers. She’s got the tiniest waist!
Lorna: I know! She makes me sick. I think I’ll have another Snickers bar now. She depresses me.
Vilma: Oh come on…I’m sure if you work hard, you’ll have a body like Lacey’s.
Lorna: Not a chance! I can work out 24-7-365 and I wouldn’t be anywhere close to what her body looks like.
Nora: She’s a thousand percent better than last year’s Miss New Hampshire, Nicole Houde. Will LaceyJane makes top 15? It’s a long shot. There are just too many other above-par contenders this year. Plus they haven’t really done well historically.
Vilma: So when is our next get-together? Is it tomorrow or Saturday?
Nora: It will be Saturday. We’ll be reviewing New Jersey to North Dakota.
Lorna: Sounds great! See you both Saturday!
