Love These Photos

SHOOT: The Miss USA contest is under fire - or on fire - for these classy black and white shots. Yes, of course they are too racy and too sexy, which is just a little campaign to tease people to go and see what the fuss is all about. As you can see, the fuss is warranted: gorgeous ladies gorgeously photographed - the way I like it.

clipped from tv.yahoo.com Over in the beauty pageant world, the gloves — and some of the clothes — have come off. The Miss USA contest is under fire for posting racy lingerie photos of its current crop of contestants. In a bedroom-inspired, black-and-white shoot, the 51 models — representing the 50 states and Washington D.C. — lounge about in open button-downs and suggestive underthings. Miss South Carolina, Rachel Law, poses in a white corset top, while Bethany Gerber as Miss Kansas wears nothing but a men's dress shirt barely held in place. The sexy pics were part of a shoot titled "Waking Up in Vegas" and are displayed on the Miss USA website's contestants page, which is meant to introduce this year's hopefuls. It's a pretty big departure from the traditional method of introducing beauty pageant contenders (or anyone, for that matter). clipped from tv.yahoo.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com clipped from www.missuniverse.com
