I'd quote from the Washington Post article, but every word is worth reading, so go read! In addition, there is an audiovisual montage that is wonderfully put together. The last picture features the winner, resplendent in her white evening gown, posing happily with a dead muskrat slung over her shoulder.
Beautiful.
She’s not the average beauty queen
She’s so much more than that
She’s beautiful, she’s talented,
And she can skin a ‘rat.
The beauty crowned as “Miss Outdoors”
Has got a winning smile
But more than this, this pretty Miss
Has got a skinning style.
She’s gorgeous in an evening gown
Or waders, caked with mud;
Red polish on her fingernails
(It helps to hide the blood)
Dakota Abbott won, this year,
Both Pageant Queen and skinner;
Miss Universe, I’ll bet, will never
See that in a winner.
It's easily the coolest pageant
I have ever seen--
Congratulations to Miss Abbot,
Lovely Muskrat Queen!

Wow! That a serious crown!
It is indeed... and I dare anyone to try to take it from her!
And I thought I was a country girl, I know nothing!
You have a beautiful blog, uhdd!
they just don't make gals like that anymore. sigh...!
I literally laughed and cried (the good kind, not in despair) within 20 minutes this morning after reading your takes on the human condition. I cried realizing we are all see the world through our own colored glasses. These young women in the pageant know they are seeing the world from their perspective, and that the world sees them this way, and they embrace it.
The laugh came with your “Spirit willing, flesh too flaccid” line in the following post. I mean, I’ve heard of that happening to other men anyway.
