On March 23, America got a new Miss USA. Tara Conner, the old Miss USA crowned Rachel Smith from Tennessee.
Here's to hoping that the new Miss USA will bring less bad attention upon the competition. Tara Conner had a very public battle with alcoholism following a very public apology. Hopefully Rachel Smith will have better luck with representing America in a classy way.
Obviously, Miss Conner had very real problems that needed to be addressed, but it is unfortunate that, as a mentor for young girls, the title of Miss USA was tarnished. I sincerely hope that this new Miss USA will do a better job representing the USA.
