And Miss USA. These racy Miss USA contestant photos stirred up야기하다 controversy. But isn’t that just what pageant미인대회 officials wanted? From NBC News, this is TODAY with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira live from studio 1A in Rockefeller Plaza.
Miss USA contestants have always been beautiful. But this year's photo spread reveals so much more than just pretty new faces. Out are the evening gowns. In are lingerie, garter belts양말벨트, fish net stockings and two women with no bra. This year less is more. “This level of tartness행실이 단정치 못한 여자 is not what is helpful for our culture.” Penny Nance is a CEO of concerned women for American. “As a mom of a 13-year-old daughter, I worry about that the fact that these women are held up in front of our young girls as symbols to be emulated모방하다. And it’s certainly a concern for American moms.”
It seems beauty pageants controversy and questionable photos have a long tangled흥클어진 history. In 1984, Vanessa Williams was crowned Miss America. But later the same year, she was forced to resign over unauthorized nude pictures. Back in 2007, this was the image that Miss Nevada Katie Reece wanted the world to see. But when these provocative photos came to light, she too was dethroned.
And just last year, there was Carrie Prejean. "A marriage should be between a man and a woman.” After controversial comments on same sex marriage, she was ultimately stripped of her Miss California crown. Semi-nude photos she posed for didn't help her case.
Tamiko Nash is a former Miss California who defends the photo shoot and says the pageant has to keep up with the changing times. “You know I don’t want to see this is what we should expect to see. But I think what we are seeing is relevance적절. We’re seeing beautiful, smart, intelligent classy세련된 women who just so happen to be sexy.”
It’s a new look for Miss USA. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, this year’s photos are leaving some speechless. For TODAY, Miguel Armiger, NBC News, Los Angeles.
