My friends and I are having a party tonight. We will be wearing dollar store tiaras and acknowledging the fact that, yes, we will never see our faces on television - but at least we do not have to wear ugly clothes to acquire our fame.

I'm proud to say there was no drunk dialing. There was, however, some drunk online shopping. I bought a lovely "joelle cami" in navy and a white eyelet blouse from J.Crew. I had an old gift card and only ended up spending $40. Retail therapy indeed.

I was hiding out at a friend's place watching this, 'cuz I can't watch this at home if I want to avoid my roommate's literally wall-bangingly loud sex....which has become a nightly occurrence is apparently still going on as I come home 2 hours later. I am of course, miserably single right now and regularly sleep-deprived because of my roommate's extraordinary love life.Oh, and they left the bedroom door open again. Meanwhile, The Ex emails me from nowhere asking if I want to "be friends again". What the shit is this fuck.

I mean, the girl who used a whole can of hairspray and wore an evening gown made of rhinestones and a body stocking won. I call bullshit on that whole reality check thing.

Also, I thought it was hilarious that they felt compelled to let the audience know that they weren't judging the dresses, but rather the looks of the women wearing them. This isn't Project Runway (although Kayne designed one of the talent dresses, yay fun facts!)!

The reason why Katherine McPhee could leverage her performance of that song to land in the finals was because she tapped into the raw emotion of the lyrics--it was simplistic, emotional, and powerful. Your performance, not so much. How about instead of adding unnecessary operatic flourishes to a song, you just sing an aria?

]]> <![CDATA[God Save The Beauty Queen: Live Blogging Miss America 2008]]> None of those dresses wowed me. I liked Wisconsin, until she talked about breaking out the yoga mat and such and doing pilates or whatever backstage. Sigh.

And I love that they're gonna eliminate two of em now. Like saying "Sorry, you aren't quite as anorexic as we're looking for."

]]> <![CDATA[God Save The Beauty Queen: Live Blogging Miss America 2008]]> @athertonmerriweather: I think TLC is crazy in love with her because when she hosted the show, people actually watched it. But I think people watched for the designs, and kind of in spite of her, but they let the designers start doing incredibly insane things to people's homes - gluing straw to the wall, attaching the furniture upside down on the ceiling - and that's when people stopped tuning in.

How were all those dresses so horrible?

]]> <![CDATA[God Save The Beauty Queen: Live Blogging Miss America 2008]]> I can't believe I'm actually watching this. Nor can I believe that I am going to have to sit though like 245987 more commercials for fucking "Trading Spaces" and that annoying pixie bitch Paige Davis. She does not "warm may heart" TLC, unless you count the white hot flames of heat that shoot from my body toward the TV when her smarmy face is on it.
Also, they should fire everyone involved in this who is not Clinton Kelly. I put on better productions than this in high school and I was really into whippets then.

Miss America hasn't been the same since they stopped letting us see the talents.

My mom and I were watching it, and neither of us got the pushups. She said "That was defiant" and I said "No, it'd be really defiant to flip em off." Is she military or something? Like from a military family?
