Katie Stam, 22, Seymour, a senior at the University of Indianapolis studying broadcast journalism, was crowned last night at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
I remember when the Miss America Pageant was a big deal - absolutely must-see TV. I'll venture that most Americans didn't even know the pageant was going on last night.
When I was a kid, it was done in Atlantic City and it was hosted from 1955-79 by game show host Bert Parks. They still play a recording of Parks singing, "There She Is, Miss America" when the newly crowned winner walks down the runway. Parks died of lung cancer in 1992.

Ummmm, that's nice... except you are in Arkansas now. Also, I found out that my current boyfriend was in a relationship with Miss. Arizona... but at least I'm smart, right? Plus she wanted him to shave his eyebrows. What's that about?? Anyway, good for Miss. Indiana/America. I'm never bitter.
