There she is...
Last week was the Miss America Pageant. Since I went to a tiny little university that somehow has been the home of three Miss Americas and countless (not literally, but I can't count them) state pageant winners, I'm usually pretty interested in it. This morning while looking through the Miss A site I discovered Miss America 1949, Jacque Mercer. She made a study out of winning pageants, and published her findings in a book called How to Win a Beauty Contest.
She also raised Maltese dogs, was in 4-H, and designed and made most of her competition wear.
