Happy 22nd birthday to Carrie Prejean. Your 15 minutes of fame is about over.Donald Trump announced yesterday that despite the (semi) topless photos of Prejean that were a breech of her contract, she would keep possession of her title.
In case you are living somewhere in Antarctica, here's the latest on the Miss California contoversy. When asked by openly gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton about her stance on same-sex marriage, Prejean responded:
Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman."
Many people criticized her response, saying she should "know her audience" and should have promoted same-sex marriage. While I don't agree with her, I don't understand why she was criticized for telling the truth.
She definitely could have worded it a little more accurately (opposite marriage? huh?) but she isn't the only person on the planet to have those same feelings. Sure, she upset Perez - most definitely a liberal - but who's to say that maybe a supportive stance of "opposite marriage" would have upset a more conservative judge. Even Donald Trump said at the press conference that announced his decision, "It wasn't a bad answer, that was simply her belief."
On the topless photos, I definitely call B.S. She knew what she was doing. Carrie, little miss Christian, you should know better. Don't take your clothes off. Ever. Unless your lifelong goal is to get a bedroom in the Playboy mansion (although, Hef's birthdays are a little more numbered... the future bunnies of America have limited time) then my suggestion is to keep it PG-13 when adding photos to your portfolio.
Although if losing the Miss America pageant, getting called a "dumb bitch" by Perez Hilton and almost losing the Miss California title gets me a date with Michael Phelps (who Prejean is supposedly dating) then SIGN ME UP!

It's "breach" of contract.
There is not a single spokes model on earth, including Ms. Prejean, who won't do sum kinda "Victoria's Secret" pose. It's part and parcel of being a spokes model.
But yanno what, Cait?
Yer RIGHT. KEEP yer clothes on, people.
Leave sumpin to the imagination.
(Everyone looks better with their clothes on. And the lights off or dimmed).
The Victorian Age (from approximately 1870 to 1905)was all about modesty. But seems to have been the "sexiest" time of Western Civilization!
The sight of an exposed ankle was just horror, but..sexy!
I definitely agree with you. I don't believe she should be criticized for her belief. Why should there only be one 'right' view on the subject. Although she shouldn't have posed nude at this particular moment, the naked body is beautiful! I don't blame her one bit for wanting to show it off, as minimal as it was. Come on people, it was mostly of her back! But as you said, if you are posing nude, do try to keep it only in your portfolio.
Great reporting!

Donald Trump is like a pope these days. :P
