Anything to win
I've never quite understood the appeal of beauty pageants. Sure, the ones with swimsuit competitions get an a-plus in my book, but they seem to be more trouble than they are worth. Some contestants will go all Tonya Harding on their competition, if that's what they have to do to win. Whoever did this isn't quite on the level of Ms. Harding, but she seems to really, really want to do well in the pageant. At least when they find a suspect, it won't be too hard to catch her, as it's hard to run in high heels. Unless her talent is running in high heels. Also, I've never tried running in high heels. That's just what I hear.
Lipstick streaks on a beauty pageant contestant's $3,000 evening gown prompted a search for the person responsible for the vandalism.
The red streaks on Jessica Wittenbrink's gown were discovered backstage during the Miss South Florida Fair pageant over the weekend.
Pageant organizers and Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies met with the 13 contestants, but deputies said there's not enough "conclusive evidence" to name a suspect.
It wasn't clear if the lipstick was internal sabotage or random vandalism by someone unrelated to the pageant.
