Miss Mount Baldy 1961
Is that her title or what she did to earn that trophy? [rimshot] I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress. I had a bunch more but they were questionably tasteful.

Queen Long Beach Community Fair 1951
It must be too close to Halloween. I can’t tell if this girl is in the process of curtsying to the photographer, or grabbing hold of her skirts to haul ass across the grass, trying to escape the menacing zombielike figures behind her. She is smiling so it might be the former. Well not until Nov. 1st at least.

Miss 906 1951
Miss 906? Not exactly sure what the 906 is for. Actually it shows her listed as the Elks Convention Queen for 1951. I can’t even imagine how harrowing it would have been, being the Queen for a convention hall full of drunken middle age Elks. I shudder to think.
For once the girl’s name is inscribed on the negative. Quick Google search and… well what do we have here? Seems Miss 906, 4 years latter, moved up the food chain and secured a spot as Playboy’s Miss October 1955.

Miss Shoetree 1951
Really. I assume Miss Shoelaces or Miss Sole where already taken, and a host of other ridiculous names, if we are to assume that on roundtableing this idea the best think they could come up with was Miss Shoetree. If your coming up with a pageant name involving footwear how many names do you have to scratch off the list before you get to shoetree.

Miss Breathless 1954
A beauty pageant for women in iron lungs? I shit you not. I have run across some strange and goofy pageant competitions but this one seems to really be making a case for front runner. Okay I imagine this was done in an attempt to cheer up women who had found themselves in this situation, but come on a tiarra? She can’t even put the damn thing on for god’s sake her arms are pinned inside the iron lung. Were they thinking of just having Jimmy there just hold it on her head for hours on end. This whole thing seems ill conceived to me.
