Our new 2013 Miss America is
24 year old Miss New York
MALLORY HAGAN.
Her Platform
Abused/sexually abused children.
God Bless you, Mallory, for the difference
you can make.
I read Mallory's blog.
That girl has just the right amount
of spunk with beauty...she'll get her
done {{rolling eyes and smiling}} if
ya know what I mean.
She has a saying on her blog, which
is biblical but states
TO WHOM
MUCH IS GIVEN
MUCH IS REQUIRED!

MISS OKLAHOMA was second runner-up
MISS SOUTH CAROLINA (not pictured)
was first runner-up. She was beautiful.
This was the first year, they surprised the
Judges by giving them a minute or two to
pick together the number sixteenth girl in-
stead of just fifteen. It was also the first year
the public picked one of the sixteen girls.
THE CROWNS OVER THE YEARS
MISS AMERICA 1922
Mary Katherine Campbell
Look at the size of her crown.

MISS AMERICA 1927
Lois Delander
Joliet, Illinois
Lois was born on Valentine's Day.
She won Miss America on her parents'
twentieth anniversary.
Lois had given herself so little a chance
of winning that she had packed her bags
for departure the night before the finals.
It was reported that theatrical concerns
were willing to pay her $1,ooo.oo a week for
stage performance, but Lois worried about
"catching up" in school, which had already
started back home.
She said she won a scepter, four trophies,
a Bulova watch, an Oldsmobile, and a screen
test, which she never took.
$1,ooo.oo a week is ALOTTA MONEY FOR
EVEN 2013.
MISS AMERICA 1943
JEAN BARTEL
Los Angeles, California
Look at her crown and scepter
Jean upset tradition by refusing to pose
in a swimsuit after she won the title.
Taking the commitment of a "War-Time"
Miss America to heart, she embarked on a
Bond-selling tour that would result in her
being honored by the United States Treasury
Department for selling two and one half million
dollars worth, more than anyone that year.
You will have to go to
to read more about her exciting life...and/or any
year, you might be interested in.
I love the human-interest aspect of any given
situation.
THANK YOU so much for joining me on
today...The LORD'S Day.
I am still trying to catch up with all my
bloggy friends. If I haven't stopped by, I will.
I either cannot get into your blog or I just have
limited time with my eye issues.
IF WE HAD NO WINTER, THE
SPRING WOULD NOT BE SO PLEASANT;
IF WE DID NOT SOMETIMES
TASTE OF ADVERSITY;
PROSPERITY WOULD NOT
BE SO WELCOME

Congratulations to Miss NY! Thanks for posting the outcome of last night's Miss America event. Wouldn't you know it? I fell asleep during the last few minutes of the show! Love that 1922 crown. You gotta wonder if tin foil was involved in its making!
I liked the new changes this year! I also learned something I did not know, Gretchen Carlson is a former Miss America! Don't know how I managed to miss that because I am an avid fan of Fox and Friends! Happy SonDay!
DEBBIE- THAT WAS A WONDERFUL POST- I READ EVERY WORD AND I LOVED ALL THE INFORMATION. I AM SORRY YOU ARE HAVING EYE PROBLEMS..AND WISH THE LORD WOULD HEAL THEM FOR YOU- LOVE TO YOU- DIAN
Hi Debbie, you made it through! I put together my own blog. The images from my header were gathered from Pinterest. Are you able to use Pinterest? Possibly not since you mentioned your computer is a wee bit "vintage"! The layout/background is all from the new template thing blogger foisted upon us last summer. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. It's an enormous hassle to switch back to the old layout in order to use the old backgrounds. Am I boring you?!
I saw Miss America was on last night but didn't watch. I used to watch every year! Have a lovely night and a great week!
