I Called This Stunt A Few Days Ago

I always thought that this ridiculous beauty pageant thing was simply a little ploy by the contestant and possibly a sneaky media savvy friend to gain some publicity that got way too much attention, much more than the girl anticipated and now sadly paints this person in a pathetic light regardless of what the blackmail outcome or determination turns out to be.

These highly anticipated (not by me but the media and others) have turned out to be stupid dimwitted college sorority pics that you could find just about anywhere where girls are gathered with a digital camera, a few bottles of wine and too much time on their hands.

This is what I wrote three days ago as a reminder:

Clever Pre Pageant Run Up Exposure?

That's what I think sorry to say.

In todays' celebrity worship culture and environment I am a believer that many people will do nearly anything for fame and fortune, and this would be a clever harmless little scheme to get a tremendous amount of pre-pageant publicity to raise ones visibility and name recognition along with some sympathy that goes a a long way too. Just a thought or two.

Pretty accurate I would say. I have become remarkably prophetic in todays media driven society who people say is way too "questioning of peoples intentions and cynical" as I always tend to look at the manipulative side of human behavior when it comes to stunts like these where people are craving or starving for attention, and particularly when possible fame and fortune are at stake and the media is involved.

The photos were finally and cleverly released this morning as the pageant gods are deciding her fate on Matt Lauer's coffee klatch-like Today show in a story made for cutesy Katy Couric (oops, she left her toasty little comfort zone, .... I forgot, lol) and not worthy of any attention and much adieu about nothing really.

They shouldn't cost her the crown but possibly paint her as vain sorry little ditz that either overreacted when she saw her pageant superstardom dreams being dashed by some loon that happened across these and screen captured 'em like I did and then noticed they were removed from facebook, similar to what the dot com grabbers do.

Snapping up internet real estate that looks as if it might be valuable at some point like these pics may have been but turn out aren't except in the view of the woman and the balckmailer (same person? good question that I say yes to).

So my conclusion is that, she may have been involved in the ploy or if being blackmailed per say, knowing the photos weren't that bad milked the whole thing for all she could with the eagerly complicit media and the advice of a media savvy attorney like the man she's been appearing all over TV with including this morning.

Just college girl goofiness here with an obvious breast obsession by her and the pic takers as there are a couple more of that nature that I didn't put up here, nothing more to most people.
