Miss Neighbor 2008


Forget everything disparaging I ever said about beauty queens.

Kirsten Haglund, Miss Michigan and Miss America 2008, is from Farmington Hills - and that almost makes her my neighbour!

But can someone explain something to me: what's the difference between Miss America and the Miss USA title, which was won by a completely different person? And who therefore gets to represent our great nation at the Miss World competition? If it's not "our" Kirsten, I'm going to be very disappointed!

The plot thickens.

Further research has found that Miss World is a second-rate beauty pageant on a par with Miss Earth. Apparently, the one to go for (and only if you're Miss USA) is the Miss Universe contest, where you're presumably up against rivals from Mars, Alpha Centauri and Uranus (a.k.a. Miss Moon).
