The world of American pageantry has taken a torrid turn this year. Beauty queens have been behaving more like "girls gone wild" than purported role models for little girls. But Lauren Nelson, crowned this year's Miss America on Monday, vowed she would lead a clean life. The aspiring Broadway actress intends to redeem the pageant industry after the string of scandals in recent month's involving misbehaving beauty queens.
Nelson, Miss Oklahoma 2006, beat about 13,000 other contestants and 51 other finalists to take the crown. She was also required to sign a morality clause before entering the pageant - and if such antiquated beauty contests intend to maintain any semblance of respectability, it's not a bad idea.
Two months ago, Miss USA, Tara Conner, nearly lost her tiara for her rowdy nightclub behavior prior to the pageant. The exact details of her debauchery weren't publicized, but Miss USA and Miss Universe contest owner Donald Trump decided to pardon her behavior - this time - under the condition she mend her wild ways and undergo rehabilitation (apparently it's possible to receive rehabilitation for partying).
