A reader named Kelli, in Texas, writes, “Bob, I’m starting to enter serious beauty pageants, and I’m looking for something to perform in the talent portion. I was planning to twirl a baton while whistling ‘The Yellow Rose of Texas… ‘”
Well Kelli, that’s fine. But as we’re no longer living in the 1950s maybe you should be a bit more edgy.
Take this contestant in the Miss Universe Japan competition. Either her talent is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or else she did an actual lap dance onstage. There’s something you don’t see all the time.
I wasn’t sure this would be seen as proper, but I went to a site that tells about choosing your talent, and it said, “…anything you can perform onstage is acceptable.” If you’ve seen “Miss Saigon,” you know that doesn’t rule out very much.
The site also advises, “Take your talent public. Look for opportunities to perform in recitals, church or community groups.”
It looks to me like this woman has rehearsed plenty, though I’m not sure it was at church groups. So rethink the baton, and let me know if you want to follow in the stiletto heels of this contestant.
Oh, and did I mention? She won.

- Posted by TacI thought Marie Ooyama was going to win but Emiri Miyasaka was the deserved winner, she had the style and class.
