Pomp and Circumstance(s)



I was out with friends last night and forgot to watch the "Miss Pittsburgh Quadrant" pageant.. thankfully I taped it. Imagine the drama of the tie between Miss Lower East Side and Miss Upper St. Clair... First, in the singing portion, Miss Lower East Side (Chrissy Krist Glen) tore up "She's just a coal miner's daughter, but you should see that pig iron"... while Miss Upper St. Clair (Shannon Castle Shannon)did justice to Tammy Wynette's "You ain't woman enough to be my man". The beaded gown portion was a draw, but it was the bathing suit portion that edged Miss Lower East Side ahead... nobody wears the Jacklyn Smith Collection by Kmart like she does... she tore it up with those ruffles around her bottom. Just when she thought she had it in the bag, Miss Upper St. Clair came back with her response to the question "who is your hero"... as the audience went silent, no one could have predicted that she would say the talented and award-winning Miss Sissy Spacek in her 1970's role as the coal miner's daughter in the movie of the same name... because of her ability to continually get those soot stains out of her dress. This did not compare to Miss Lower East Side's answer of Bea Arthur in the role of Dorothy in Lifetime's Golden Girls because "the bitch can pull off a caftan like nobody's business" and this made the competion a tie and they got to split the 27 dollar 50 cent prize. Quel Dramatique! It was an eleganza extravanganza!!
