A footnote to the recent Miss USA Pageant
There is a bio of each of the women who competed in last Sunday's Miss USA Pageant. Each of them was asked a number of questions. One of those questions posed was, "If you could meet any one celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be?" Because their answers were so varied, I thought it might be interesting to look at them:
Miss Alabama - Jennifer Lawrence
Miss Alaska - J. K. Rowling
Miss Arizona - Joan Rivers
Miss Arkansas - Joanne Gaines
Miss California - Chrissy Teigen (the Miss USA website spelled it Teigan)
Miss Colorado - Coco Chanel
Miss Connecticut - Bill Gates
Miss Delaware - Olivia Culpo
Miss District of Columbia (no answers on website)
Miss Florida - Ellen De Generes
Miss Georgia - (no answers on website)
Miss Hawaii - Ellen De Generes
Miss Idaho - Jacqueline Kennedy
Miss Illinois - Sophia Amoruso
Miss Indiana - Carrie Underwood
Miss Iowa - Angelina Jolie
Miss Kansas - Angelina Jolie
Miss Kentucky - Dr. Bennet Omalu
Miss Lousiana - Lenny Kravitz
Miss Maine - Kit Harington
Miss Maryland - Elvis Presley
Miss Massachusetts - Maria Menounos
Miss Michigan - Rosa Parks
Miss Minnesota - Adele
Miss Mississippi -
Miss Missouri - Jimmy Fallon
Miss Montana - Tim Tebow
Miss Nebraska - Ellen De Generes
Miss Nevada - Angelina Jolie
Miss New Hampshire - Taylor Swift
Miss New Jersey - Russell James
Miss New Mexico - Rupaul
Miss New York - Joel Osteen
Miss North Carolina - Taylor Swift
Miss North Daokta - Jennifer Lawrence
Miss Ohio - Charles Dickens
Miss Oklahoma - Adam Sandler
Miss Oregon - Coretta Scott King
Miss Pennsylvania - Meryl Streep
Miss Rhode Island - Jessica Alba
Miss South Carolina - Taylor Swift
Miss South Dakota - Kate Middleton
Miss Tennessee - Blake Lively
Miss Texas - Robin Williams
Miss Utah - Lucille Ball
Miss Vermont - Matt Damon
Miss Virginia - Michelle Obama
Miss Washington - Jesus
Miss West Virginia - Kevyn Aucoin
Miss Wisconsin - Carrie Underwood
Miss Wyoming - Nellie Tayloe Ross
Ellen De Generes, Taylor Swift and Angelina Jolie all appear on the list three times. If I counted right, only 12 of the names were of men. I'm not even going to attempt to calculate the percentage of names on the list are entertainment industry figures.
What does it mean? Nothing I can discern. What do you think? Is there any meaning here?
