• Ms. America 2012

  During dinner with Rachel and Alex at York Street Noodle, there was a TV turned to the Ms. America pageant. We were right at the interesting part too, the talent show followed by the questions. Several of the contestants were dancers. There were two ballerinas, an Irish tapdancer, and a contemporary dancer. Another several were singers, and most of them were remarkably good singers. One was a pianist. I felt she was not a very good pianist. She hunched over the keys in a way that would've made it very hard to play anything powerful.

  Next was the short question round. There was a question about whether Ms. America should be allowed to declare political affiliation, and a question about the government and child obesity, and another about celebrities and religion. Ms. New York got a question about Occupy Wall Street. She said that the protesters should propose actual changes they wanted implemented. I was fond of her answer because it felt like an actual opinion she was expressing.

  I'd like there to be an equivalent Mr. America thing. That would be funny to watch, I think.
