Has anyone heard of this new beauty pageant? Head over and take a gander at: http://misslibertyamerica.com/Home.html

I think the way they judge this one will be a lot more interesting than the usual pageants. Here is a part of the rubric:
Marksmanship (10% of total score)
In the preliminaries each of the 50 contestants chosen will show their expertise in the use of firearms (pistol and rifle). The contestants will be judged on accuracy, use and safety as well as any additional expertise the contestant my possess. (This portion of the competition will be taped and edited for the live telecast)

Knowledge of the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence (25% of total score)
Each contestant will be asked 3 specific questions that will demonstrate the contestants knowledge of these fundamental American documents.
Sounds interesting to me, anyway. I'm always up for pretty ladies exhibiting proper firearm handling and marksmanship - after all, my wife is my favorite range partner! :coolgleamA:

Good save :biggrinjester:

Sounds interesting. At least the shooting portion demonstrates some sort of life skill, and hopefully they won't require the audience to suffer through all of the world peace speeches.

It does look pretty interesting, and less droll than the usual pageants. After all, 15 military officers will be the judging panel!

I think they could have done a better job of proof-reading the copy on their website, though. I found several misspellings and grammatical errors.

Oh, and if you saw my wife shoot, you'd know I had to have that save lined up. I don't want to wake up with any extra holes in me! :lol:

Ironically, on the page about requiring safety in handgun usage, they picture a woman with a pistol at high ready with her finger on the trigger and on the page where they say they have certain minimum modesty standards and require a full piece swimsuit, they placed an illustrative photo of a woman in a provocative pose. :roll:

:smilelol5: Your right! How funny. But of course, the 'girl' with her finger on the trigger is no girl at all. It is a terminator robot from the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I guess as a flesh covered robot from the future, she is allowed to break the rules. One, because she has precision control over her phalanges and will therefore never have an AD or ND, and two because she is friggin' terminator robot and so nobody is going to be brave enough to tell her she is 'doin' it wrong'. :biggrinjester:

I am still looking for the provocative pose. I wanna see it.

Me too, I guess provocative is in the eye of the beholder, all I saw was a pretty girl on the bow of a sailboat.

I wondered where I recognized the girl with the gun from. :anamatedbanana

They could have done a better job of choosing graphics as well as spell checking and copy editing.

Seriously, you don't think that is provocative? Obviously she is a pretty girl and she is on the bow of a sailboat, but I have to agree with Hoi that it is a provocative pose. But I think the point was the contrast of having the picture right next to:
MISS LIBERTY AMERICASM regulates certain minimum standards of modesty and will require a full piece swimsuit.
"Modesty" is more than just clothing choices and in this case, is more than just one piece vs. two piece. A contestant could wear a two-piece swimsuit and still display much more modesty than the girl in the picture wearing the one piece.

Ohhhhh! I clicked through all the links and saw the US Flag bathing suit on the Judging page. My initial impression of the "pose" was "hey that looks pretty crude".
Not crude as in provocative, crude as in the photographer doesn't know how to pose his subjects. The woman looked ungainly/sprawled to me.

In my little mind "provocative" is something I want to see. Hustler poses I do not. Perhaps Hoi Polloi was just using the term to be nice.

Yes, there were several other words that I thought more accurate, but they were crude or immodest of me to use in describing the ungainly immodesty so I went with provocative as it is technically accurate.
