False braids cost Bolivian beauty queen her title

For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."

That's right up there with Vanessa Williams' Playboy scandal! The poor thing...if only she'd gone with a sensible bob. *sigh*
(And aren't ALL beauty pagaents inherently tragic? Paging Patsy Ramsey, Patsy Ramsey, line 1!!)
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Tragedy? It's so much worse than a "tragedy"!
I can't even imagine the pain this must be causing her and her family. To live through something like that just makes me respect her soooo much.
My prayers to her and her family in the very dark time.
I only hope she has come to realize the dangers of doing braids. They kill. Don't do braids! Just say no.
....but the world goes 'round

Posted: 7/16/07 at 1:52pmThat article is a hoot. I'm surprised they didn't interrupt regularly scheduled programming with this story. And to think, this wasn't the first scandal to hit this pageant.

Posted: 7/16/07 at 1:59pmI think the phrase 'Beauty Pageant Tragedy' is redundant.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
