问题     Miss Universe took place in Athens, Greece. The junta was still in power. I saw a heck of a lot of jeeps and troops and machine guns. The Americans were supposed to keep a low profile.【F1】 I had never been a great fan of the Greek junta, but I knew well I was going to have to keep my mouth shut. I was still representing the United States, for better or for worse. Miss Philippines won. I ran second.
    At the end of the year, you’re run absolutely ragged. That final evening, they usually have several queens from past years come back. Before they crown the new Miss USA, the current one is supposed to take what they call the farewell walk. They call over the PA: Time for the old queen’s walk. I’m now twenty-three and I’m an old queen. And they have this idiot farewell speech playing over the airwaves as the old queen takes the walk.【F2】And you’re sitting on the throne for about thirty seconds, then you come down and they announce the name of the new one and you put the crown on her head. And then you’re out.
    Miss USA and remnants thereof is the crown stored in the attic in my parents’ home. I don’t even know where the banners are. It wasn’t me the fans of Miss USA thought was pretty. What they think is pretty is the banner and crown.【F3】If I could put the banner and crown on that lamp, I swear to God ten men would come in and ask it for a date. I’ll think about committing an axe murder if I’m not called anything but a former beauty queen. I can’t stand it any more.
    Several times during my year as what’s her-face I had seen the movie The Sting. There is a gesture the characters use which means the con is on: they rub their nose.【F4】In my last fleeting moments as Miss USA, as they were playing that silly farewell speech and I walked down the aisle and stood by the throne. I looked right into the camera and rubbed my finger across my nose. The next day,the pageant people spent all their time telling people that I hadn’t done it. I spent the time telling them that, of course, I had. I simply meant; the con is on.
    【F5】 If I could sit down with every young girl in America for the next fifty years. I could tell them what I liked about the pageant, I could tell them what I hated. I wouldn’t make any difference. There’re always gonna be girls who want to enter the beauty pageant. That’s the fantasy: the American Dream.
【F1】
