Miss "New York" was named Miss America last night, but she was a ringer from Alabama.
24 year old Mallory Hagan was born in Opelika, after all, and attended Auburn University, and even competed for Miss Alabama several years ago. The 24 year old moved to New York way back in 2007.
Here in Alabama, we virtually never grant real statehood status to an interloper from outside.
If you, and preferably your Great-great grandparents, weren't actually born in the state, you are and will forever be, at least an outsider, if not an actual Yankee.
Apparently New Yorkers don't give a hoot, and will let anyone wear their name.
Three on a String's Bobby Horton has proclaimed me an actual Southerner, despite my accidental place of birth, and that should be good enough for any of you objecting to this posting. And anyway, I never even considered entering the preliminaries here.
Miss Alabama, Laura Bryan, who was actually born here---in Decatur---placed in the top 12.
G'wan. Ever notice that Olympic athletes routinely wear the colors of whatever country will sponsor them?
