It’s All Maya!

Ask anyone in the US if they know who Miss Teen USA is and most people will draw a blank, or else they’ll talk to you about Miss South Carolina.  Google Miss Teen USA and you’ll get Miss South Carolina rather than the title winner.  Why?  Because of Miss SC’s blunder in answering a simple question about the ignorance of American children when it comes to geography.  Does anyone remember the question or answer that Hilary Cruz, Miss Teen USA, answered?  Of course not!  Perhaps she was too eloquent in her reply to be memorable. 

I for one am tired of Miss SC, but the way things have gone this past year, it would not surprise me if Miss South Carolina will be taking the final walk on stage when it comes time to crown the new Miss Teen USA!  She’ll tell Hilary Cruz, the former Miss Colorado, “Uh, I was on my way to, uh North Carolina and such as, and I, uh have my map and got side tracked and such, and I ended up here on stage!”

I can bet my bottom dollar she’ll be there when the new Miss Teen USA gets crowned so she can take the spotlight away from Hilary Cruz, once again, and take her final bow.

Maya Muses:  I shouldn’t be so hard on Miss South Carolina.  Who wouldn’t get flustered being questioned in front of thousands of people and millions of viewers?  That doesn’t sound like an illusion - it sounds like a nightmare to me and most people!
