I remember my older sister and me watching this pageant over the years as young girls, knowing we'd never have a chance, but enjoying it just the same. Compared to the contestants, we were utterly without talent with average looks, but content with our home life, which mattered the most to us.
Pageants HayDay, Thanks to the generosity of you and " Universal Crowns", we have all of the Miss America Pageants from the Television Era, except for 1956 and 1957. With them, all Pageants would finally be available to see. Do you know if they can be made available, or, if not, why they can't? Thank you for what you've given to the many who have enjoyed them.

Anita Bryant, Miss Oklahoma was known in the late 60s for her anti-gay rights activism. What's the use of being beautiful on the outside when you're trash inside? Miss Iowa was such a lovely little thing, truly charismatic.
Because it works. But beside that….Dior’s “New Look” (corseted torso, cinched waists, big skirts) found its greatest reception in the US of A. And to the surprise of many, its popularity persisted well into the 1960s.

She was precious
She was the epitome of Miss America.

Just to think, 10 years after this beauty contest, America went to the Moon *SIX TIMES* with their advanced technology 🤔
........And 50 years later, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States.

Why do they basically all have on the same gown?
