This weekend Miss America comes on tv, for my cousins/friends and I that means it's time for Miss Ghetto America. Each year, for the past 5 years we get together on this night and watch the real one and have our own pageant. I've got to admit, it may sound silly, but it is one of the BEST nights of the year.
We all have been given our "ghetto" nicknames. "The Shiz" aka Aimee came up with this event and puts SO much work into it! My nickname is "Pookie D", Kelly is "Lil Mama", Kaye is "Glammie Grammie", and Candi is "The Candi Shoppe".
The smack talk of who is going to win lasts all year long. When we get to Miss Ghetto America's Pink Palace the pictures begin and the smack talk continues, as does the eating of all things junk food which are deemed calorie free for the night!
As it gets closer to show time we draw numbers for our draft picks. Then the "real" girls cards are laid out and we take turns picking "our girls". When the show starts we have a board to keep our picks on until they get eliminated. Whoever picked the Miss America wins Miss Ghetto America and takes the crown. Yes, we have a real crown. This is serious people!
Here are some pictures from last year, I wish I had some from all the years past on this computer, but I don't.
