Ever since the debacle over Carrie Prejean’s controversial answer at the Miss USA pageant, I have sort of sat back and watched wondering, like many,what would happen. At times, I have felt bad for her, and at times I have been less understanding of her actions. Today, I realized now I am officially frustrated not just with her, but also with Donald Trump.
The California state pageant officials recommended yesterday that Trump take the title from her, not because she answered a question about gay marriage the way she did, but because she lied about posing semi-nude. She has also skipped scheduled events as Miss California to promote her own agenda.
Even when state officials announced that suggestion yesterday, I felt bad for Carrie. I thought, okay, maybe that’s too strict. She made a simple mistake, BUT now that Donald has made the official decision to let her stay, despite the controversial pictures, MORE SEMI-NUDE PICTURES have emerged. The pictures are racy. Another Carrie lie. New Topless Pics
This is where the buck stops for me, because by Donald Trump saying she’s just “modeling,” he is saying to all the young girls out there who aspire to be beauty queens/models/actresses that it’s okay to take your clothes off. He’s saying it’s okay to lie. Break the rules. We won’t judge you. I think the whole thing is sad.
If you are a young girl reading this, please don’t look to Carrie as a role model. You can do so much better than that.

I would have to agree with you Lu. Having worked for Mr. Trump I’ve seen and heard a few things he’s done in business and often shake my head in disbelief. Unfortunately all of this attention over Carrie has taken away from the Kristen Dalton, the new Miss USA. . . And she’s from Wilmington, my home town.
