God Bless Mary's Land where the women are beautiful and the muskrats are afraid. Very afraid.
The Washington Post reports that:
"Contestant No. 1 sashayed down the catwalk, her hair bouncing in blonde curls, and smiled a radiant beauty-queen smile. She picked up a furry dead rodent about the size of a football.
"Then she took out a very sharp four-inch blade and stuck the point in just above the animal's tail.
"'Then,' she said, narrating the incision as sweetly as a Miss America contestant talking about world peace, 'you're going to want to take your knife ... And separate the meat from the hide, just like this.'
"'Oh my God!' a boy in the audience yelled, at the sight of a woman in perfect makeup with her hand inside a muskrat.
Then, from another part of the crowd: an older woman's voice: 'She's good.'"
Well of course she is. She's from the Eastern Shore.
God bless Dakota Abbott and small-town beauty queens everywhere. Lovely.
And be sure to check out the nice slide show with voice over that tells the story from the contestant's point of view. God bless America, land that I love.
