If you're doing a little road trip for the weekend, perhaps to visit Mom, who says there can't be some sites of interest along the way? It helps if you pack something similar to Ms. Avdeyeva's ensemble from Italy's Verde Veronica.
Don't worry - the sun may have set in this photo, but not on 2011's May Flowers Week just yet..
'It’s exciting. I know that everyone at my high school who used to torture me and bully me is going to get a copy of it, so I am thrilled. That is going to be really exciting ..I was rather flat-chested in high school, so I was picked on all the time. I think I have made up for it. Maybe a bit late, but they’re here now.'
Shirley of Hollywood Stretch Satin And “Eyelash” Lace Bustier Stretch satin and “eyelash” lace bustier with form fitting soft cups, styling and slimming shirring down the front as well as a hook and eye back closure, adjustable straps and removable garters. Also comes with matching g-string.
Not that the idea of doing official glamour lingerie photos of each of the contestants has gone over well with all:
Miss Pennsylvania, Gina Cerilli (above) defended her photos and the idea, as did pageant owner Donald Trump. Anything for ratings in an age when you could argue these pageants are of less and less importance, and actresses and models are often seen in lingerie or less in more than a few magazines?

I'll leave that up to you in the Comments section. Obviously, I'm going to be biased in favor of more lingerie photos in the world, and looking over the the gallery of all the contestants as photographed beautifully by Fadil Berisha, my only question was: do I use all 51 photos in this post or not?
^ Miss Oregon, Kate Paul Miss Kansas, Bethany Gerber v
^ Miss Virginia, Samantha Casey Miss Tennessee, Tucker Perry v
^ Miss Delaware, Julie Citro Miss Oklahoma, Moran Elizabeth Woolard v
^ Miss Wisconsin, Courtney Lopez
^ Miss Mississippi, Breanne Ponder Miss New Hampshire, Nicole Houde v
^ Miss Nebraska, Belinda Wright Miss Ohio, Amanda Tempel is my girlfriend's pick for the winner v
^ Miss New Jersey, Chenoa Greene (I know nothing of the contestants, but there's something about Ms. Greene I like. And, if she doesn't win? Well, the odds were already 50-to-1 against me guessing right who might win, and her odds are 50-1 anyway..)
My girlfriend's take on all this: If you're going to say this is a scholarship program, you're still living in the 1940's or earlier. If you're going to say it's a modern-day top model search, bring on the lingerie. I'll go along with that.
Behind the scenes of Fadil Berisha's "Waking Up In Vegas' photo shoot:
Speaking of Vegas, what do you want to wager all the attention this is getting helps the ratings for this year's broadcast, tomorrow night(Sunday)on NBC?
Among the cast, and perhaps of most interest to this blog, of course, is Zoe Saldana starring as Nyota Uhura, who may not be a lieutenant in the new movie's time frame, but she'll certainly have a bit more to do than open hailing frequencies. Not that Nichelle Nichols didn't do that quite well in the original TV series, but I always liked the fact she got to kick a little Mr. Adventure ass in the movies. Speaking of Ms. Nichols, we pause this post, with no disrespect meant for Ms. Saldana for this photo:
Damn.
Onward, and back to Ms. Saldana:
True, these images from an Esquire shot she did awhile back aren't lingerie-only, but we'll enjoy them just the same..
The new cast are signed for two sequels, so Ms. Saldana can be prepared to put on - and, perhaps, take off her Starfleet uniform for awhile longer. Not that she's a stranger to uniforms, or all things Trek; witness a moment of her performance in the Tom Hanks movie The Terminal..
And that's just the teaser page to get you to turn to the article.. and, we repeat what we've said in a post last month: Marisa Millerneeds to do more lingerie shoots. And, more of Ale' is always welcome.
