You heard right! Miss Teen USA is eliminating the swim suit competition portion. Active wear will be worn by contestants in lieu of having the teens strut around in bikinis. As former contestant Nancy Redd says, "This is a great step in the right direction of women embracing their physical strength, as opposed to their appearance." Isn't that great?
I fully support this shift in attire, because it will allow competitors to feel more comfortable as they compete under the scrutiny of viewers. However, I think Miss USA can do even better if they truly want contestants to dress for comfort, so I am proposing a sleepwear competition. Now, before you go getting all excited imagining lingerie, I'm actually talking about ratty old t-shirts, footie pajamas and nightgowns. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
1. Footie pajamas with a night cap.
Looking to "wow" the crowd? Well, look no further! These styling footie pajamas come with a complimentary night cap. Work it, girl!
2. Bunny footie pajamas.
Feeling especially thrifty? We've got you covered. Not only will these pajamas look great up on stage, but you can also wear the outfit again every Easter as you break into children's homes to leave eggs. Score!
3. The nightgown.
Is this the sleepwear or evening gown competition? I can't even tell!
4. Owl footie pajamas.
Hoot hoot.
5. Bikini pajamas.
If you haven't quite embraced the replacement of the swimsuit competition, this gown will be perfect for you!
6. Total babe.
You can go back to your childhood with this look.
7. Skin and bones.
This is Halloween; this is Halloween.
8. The uniform.
(The "Russian Dance" plays softly in the background.)
9. Pajamas with a cape.
Some see a robe, some see a cape. It's all about perspective.
10. Tie-dye pants.
Bonus points if you wear a shirt with a completely different pattern and colors.
11. Rainbow Dash
