I’m a cultural misfit almost anywhere I am so I don’t sterotype, but instances like these make it very very hard to not follow the herd. 4Million + views in over 3 days.

  1. I can’t help but wonder how the gentleman holding the microphone for Miss South Carolina could keep a straight face.

  3. I just checked out the clip on youtube that you mentioned, with Miss Carolina on the Today Show. How did her ignorance land her a spot on national TV??

    At any rate, Jimmy Kimmel breaks it down with a transcription of what she said and I was entertained…

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
