Apparently Miss America 2009 will be crowned tonight, and to promote this wonderful occasion, glamour shots of all the competing women have been posted online. I thought I’d share these images with you and let you see the true personalities of the many beautiful ladies who shall be squaring off at some point tonight on some cable channel. (Oh how the mighty have fallen).
Pictures of every single beauty queen after the jump…
Update: Apparently the pageant started about an hour ago. Ooops.
