Former Miss Texas, Krystal Russin, just wrote an article for the Huffington Post in which she spills the beans on what it’s really like backstage at a beauty pageant.
From the HuffPo:
“The pageant was good times, all right. I learned valuable information from eavesdropping in conversations among the over 100 contestants, things like the secret to losing weight in a weekend flush is Mexican laxatives you must buy online or across the border. If you spit out a pizza slice in a trash can after each bite you won’t gain weight. Who cares if it looks really gross to onlookers? You’re saving 500 calories! I also learned how restrooms smell after a load of girls vomit after catering or that if anyone sees you taking allergy medicine in public (me and my Benadryl) or ordering a fruity beverage at the bar as opposed to water (me and my pineapple juice fetish), you will be accused the rest of the week of having a severe drug addiction and possibly be on your way to the Promises facility in California. Seriously. If it weren’t illegal to gun down fellow contestants in the alley, these women would do it.”
My favorite part is that she is from Texas, pure pageant country and that she remembers when being asked who the most important Texan has been… one of her compeditors answered….”Matthew McConaughey. He has funny movies and teaches us a lot about fitness.”
