Miss California (Carrie Prejean) has been accused of posing for semi-nude photographs when she was 17 years old. She may be stripped of her title if the accusations are proven to be true. Many people believe the charges are just a pretense to get revenge against Miss California for making anti-gay marriage remarks during the Miss America pageant where she won the first runner-up position. After the Miss America pageant, Prejean said the reason she believed she did not win the pageant was because she publicly stated her politically incorrect, Christian belief which is - Marriage is between a man and a woman (after officially being asked a question on the subject during the pageant by a gay judge).
Whether Prejean loses her Miss California title may depend on the definition of “semi-nude”. The photographs in question are taken from Prejean’s side, only reveal the side of Prejeans exposed breast and do not depict any nipple area which is covered by her strategically placed hand. Prejean displays a pair of pink panties in the photographs and she may argue that the photographs are tasteful boudoir photos which innocently depict beauty rather than pornography.
All of the Miss America contestants paraded around in skimpy bikinis this year during the swimsuit competition segment. Their white bikinis could easily have been percieved to be white longerie had they been worn in bedroom scenes instead of on stage at the beauty pageant.
Some bikini designs (skimpier than the design used by the Miss America pageant) cover the nipple area but do not cover the sides of breasts. (See example in photo below; model is not Prejean). If Miss California is found guilty of posing for “semi-nude” photographs (in violation of the Miss California rules), then it seems to me that any model who poses in a teeny weeny bikini runs the risk of violating beauty contest rules and would not be elligible to compete in a Miss California beauty pageant.
Of course, pageant officials may define semi-nude photos to include all topless photos even when hands cover exposed breasts. (See example in photo below; model is not Prejean.) If a hand is covering the nipple area, how would anyone know if there was a pastie covering the nipple area or not? Are breasts covered with pasties semi-nude? What percentage of a breast has to be covered with some kind of material so as not to be in violation of beauty pageant rules? Teenagers who dream of being crowned beauty queens some day need to know the answers to these questions.
How would you define semi-nude? Do you think Miss California should be stripped of her crown?
