Orange County Fair Queen 1961

The pros and cons to being Fair Queen. Pro: You get to wear the bitchin little half cape that goes so cool with your one-piece and pumps. Con: Creepy guy who is constantly wanting to touch your face.

Okay. Maybe I am stating the obvious but wouldn’t Miss French Curve make a hell of a lot more sense than Miss T-Square. Just sayin’.

Miss Wool 1958

Miss Wool 1958

You can’t make this stuff up. Miss Wool? What the hell would she even do? Cut the ribbon on new sweater manufacturing facilities? Spokes model during yarn clearance sales? You get the sense they just sat around in the 50′s and thought up stupid shit. Did they even need to run a contest for this or did they grab the first girl who was stupid enough to want to be Miss Wool. She looks a little deranged. They probably had first pick of institutionalized women. Didn’t have to pay them that way.

“Oh, yeah!”

Someone needed to remind Miss Dairy she was exactly that. Miss Dairy not Kool-Aid.
