00:00:55.700 - 00:01:18.379

Oh, that was very well done, Diane. I'm really pleased. Let's try to improve the pose arabesque and also the arms on the ... so they come up with a little more power and down with just a bit more softness. That's the important place where you need

00:01:18.379 - 00:01:34.779

a little more now smudge, just a slight smudge. That's it. And then after you get all finished with this, if, and you have your, um, uh, lashes done completely, then get back away from the mirror and see if it looks too much like a line.

00:01:34.779 - 00:01:50.949

If it does, then take a little bit off. It has a little bit of a line... Being Miss America would be representing youth as it is in America today. The majority of youth, I think it's only a small minority that are rioting and putting down the establishment.

00:01:51.730 - 00:02:07.819

Uh, it would be a chance to travel and become, uh, more educated and a truly liberated woman. Every girl, I think, has a different reason for entering a pageant. Mine was a, a type of a dream for myself. It's one that I've had ever since I

00:02:07.819 - 00:02:37.479

was a small child, and I dreamed of dancing in a pageant. Most people, I'm sure you would agree, look at pageants as beauty contests, especially the male population. Is that a big myth? It certainly is. The Miss America pageant is not a beauty pageant. We don't

00:02:37.479 - 00:02:54.250

even identify with the beauty pageant label. We are a talent and scholarship foundation. Our program is to further women, to let them press onward, become something more than just a chief cook and bottle washer, but to become, uh, a doctor or a lawyer or whatever career

00:02:54.250 - 00:03:09.490

they want. This is, um, something the women's liberation stands for us for pressing forward, and the Miss America pageant is the biggest, the largest scholarship foundation for women in the world, and that's what we're all about. Well then, why, why do the women's rights people seem

00:03:09.490 - 00:03:50.889

to be. You know, at your door telling you they don't approve all the time. I think they're very narrow minded. They're not looking into the situation deeply enough. I don't know how you pack those. It's beautiful. That's gonna be fantastic, and Diane, don't forget now, even

00:03:50.889 - 00:04:14.360

in the long gown... Original gown. I can't believe it. Emma ... really did something when she did this one. Yeah. And the crystal will complement that really will. Just think when this walks down that ramp. I'm, I'm going to light up like a neon sign.

00:04:14.360 - 00:04:25.289

You know, it does have the two layers of chiffon underneath. Light in mirrors in your eyes.
