First Tattooed Contestant at Miss America Pageant
Thursday, 12 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks
This year’s Miss America pageant will feature a first, says the Wichita Eagle. Miss Kansas Theresa Vail will be the first contestant to compete while openly flaunting her tattoos. Vail, who is a member of the Kansas National Guard, initially wanted to show off her archery prowess in the talent portion of the competition but was thwarted by a rule that prohibits “projectiles.” Instead, she’ll sing opera.
