Dethroned Miss Nevada Peeved by Miss California "Double Standard"

[JonLP24]

There once was a beauty queen who took naughty pictures and, some years later, did not get to keep her crown.

Despite the magnanimity shown to Miss California Carrie Prejean, Katie Rees—Miss Nevada 2007—was out of luck when racy pics of her showed up after she won her title.

And she's none too happy about what she perceives to be a "huge double standard."

"Semi-nude photos are semi-nude photos," she told E! News, comparing the topless lingerie pics of Prejean with her own shots, which featured a 17-year-old Rees baring a breast, flashing her thong, and doing her best Katy Perry impression.

Miss Universe Organization honcho Donald Trump deemed the photos inappropriate and stripped Rees of her Miss Nevada USA title in December 2006.

Sorry for adding to the not-news controversy but I did not know about this. I will try my best to avoid the topic in the future.

1. Interesting....

Wonder what Ms. Prejean would do that Ms. Rees would not...

[JonLP24]

2. I honestly think Mr. Trump was rewarding her for the publicity

The saying goes any publicity is good publicity.

5. but, but, but...Republicon Homelanders like Prejean are DIFFERENT

...They have Wide-Stance family values, not American values. So you really can't compare...

6. My guess is Miss Nevada didn't put out for the Donald...

Seriously, the whole pageant industry is disgusting.

7. I keep trying to figure out why anyone would care one way or another.

This just doesn't register on my care-o-meter.

9. Miss Nevada's Bisexuality Was At Issue

Carrie PreHomophobe was just nekkid.

10. Good call, Mr. Ected

That would seem to be the issue.

11. I see.

The shocking photos came hot on the fashionable heels of a scandal that rocked reigning Miss USA Tara Conner. The pics show Rees exposing her breasts, passionately kissing other young women, and simulating oral sex with females and a male.

"The pictures were disgusting," Miss USA co-owner Donald Trump told Larry King on CNN Thursday night. "These pictures were pretty far out there and that is not representative of Miss USA. We had no choice but to terminate her."

Rees insists the raunchy behaviour in the photos was "an isolated incident."

In a statement, she said: "While I take full responsibility for the photographs, I want everyone to know the truth. This was by no means representative of who I was, who I am, or who I will become. I have no intentions to disgrace the state of Nevada, the Miss Universe Organization, or Mr. Donald Trump."
