  1. Could it be that too many women can't seem to stay away from tattoos, and they can't field a team of people showing whole body shots anymore? The counterculture is now people who avoid tattoo parlors.

  2. I'm not a fan of bikinis. Not cuz I don't like women showing skin but bcuz I don't think it's that attractive. Athletic wear looks like it captures the body curves better. I like the change but make the swimwear sexy.

  3. This is absurd. Isn't this pageant supposed to highlight women that have the "whole package"… a smart, athletic, well-spoken, elegant, and beautiful female? To take the physical beauty out of the competition is like taking the muscles out of Mr. Olympia. What is so offensive about being physically attractive?
