...So by now you must know that Miss Oklahoma won the Miss America title. Well, obviously, Oklahoma is very proud. And they should be. It is the second year in a row for Miss Oklahoma to win and it is the centennial birthday so that makes it pretty neat.

However, the newspapers are really overplaying it. Read this hilarious snippet of an article titled, "Are we the fairest of them all?"

Mix some American Indian and pioneer heritage. Add a touch of crude oil and wheat, a dash of football and a pinch of red dirt. Stir vigourously with a tornado. There you have it--the recipe for beautiful women. Apparently.

(The Oklahoman)

And this was on the front page! Yes, it is fact that Oklahoma has the highest per-capita density of Miss Americas on the planet (also from the article). Add to the fact that Oklahoma has always done well in pageants mainly because they have a strong pageant system (great support from volunteers and sponsors). But they have someone quoted as saying that women are just prettier in the South, which includes Oklahoma.

Who knew that that "recipe" would create such beautiful people?
