I was going to discuss the gentleman in a cowboy hat in the middle of the Hartford Connecticut airport, or the young man with the long hair and fedora who looks like an unfortunate cross of Carrot Top and the bass player for the band Foreigner, but then I saw the one outfit I never ever expected.

There is a gorgeous young girl with long curly hair with a tiara perched on top. No, not a tiara, a crown. A crown and a sash announcing her as Miss Teen Arknsas.

I am never making fun of people dressing down at the airport again. I look like a schlump next to her!!

Kristen, that is hilarious! It brought back a memory for me. We ran into Miss America 1995 in an ice cream shop when my son was an infant. She cooed over him and even signed an autograph for him. Pretty cool, right? Not quite. He slept through the whole thing! We'll never let him live that one down.

It's probably in her contract that she has to wear that stuff in public - I was at a weekend conference/course thingie that Ms. Wheelchair America attended; she had to wear sash and tiara at all times. It was pretty goofy.

If I had a sash and a tiara to wear, you can bet I'd wear it all the time! I'd be in the supermarket in it!
