Miss Univers-ity

Just came home from a vacation at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, which, as some pageant lovers may know, is hosting the Miss Universe competition next weekend. The beauty queens moved into the hotel a few days ago, and after some encounters at the beach and restaurants, I can assure you that they're no more beautiful than the typical sorority girl. Of course they're pretty, but not exceptional.

What I did hear about, however, that interested me was that many of them are much more educated than contestants in years past. The media reported that more and more of them are college educated, and oftentimes girls enter these contests because the prizes pay for their education. Beauty and brains? Cheers to that!
