16. I wanted to be on America’s Next Top Model, but I don’t meet the height requirement. The height minimum is 5’7” (I’m 5’5” 3/4, which is well above the USA female average of 5’4”), which is stupid because Eva Pigford (one of the past winners) is only 5’6”, and she WON the damn thing. I once wrote a strongly worded letter to Tyra Banks on the subject. I never heard back. Her loss. I photograph well, I can act, and the girls they get on that show are halfwits.
17. My freshman year of college, I had a reputation for having ugly nightwear. And I do. I have some of the most hideous (and shamefully comfortable) winter nightgowns in existence. I also have a weird (but warm) bodysuit thing. It’s black, red, and yellow. I got most of these nightgowns from my grandmother, who claims that they are all “designer” garments that she “bought at Saks” and were “not cheap”. But I reiterate, they’re hideous.
18. As a child, I was absolutely convinced I was going to be Miss America someday. I have the autographs of 5 Miss Americas from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, which I attained because my parents used to attend the Detroit autoshow, which was a function Miss America appeared at (I grew up in Michigan, so it's not shocking that I had a couple relatives in the automotive industry). I have them in my apartment, but I haven’t figured out a good place to hang them up. A family friend actually made it into the Miss America pageant this past year. Sadly, she didn't make it into the top ten, but it was a bit of a kick just seeing her on there (even though I haven't seen her since she was in diapers). I was insanely jealous.

So I totally get what you're doing with these titles. The problem is that they make my iGoogle page look strange. I was doing a presentation at Blue Cross today, and I went to the web to show a report or two, and the Vince V. thing was up there for 3 vice presidents to see for a short time, while I typed in the URL. I think one snickered.
You may have forced me to drop your widget.
Imagine an old man reading this post 100 years ago. What would he think?
To CK1 - So sorry! I'll try to make them slightly less scandalous. I hope this does not result in you refraining from reading my blog.
Wait, what am I talking about? It's you! You'll be back. It's been three years and you're still reading whatever I throw online. I must be fascinating. ;)
Stupid height restrictions! We would kick so much ass on ANTM or as a Rockette, they just don't know what they're missing. How hard is it to add an inch or so to a pair of heels?
