Can Vanessa Williams Get Her Crown Back??
I know it was Miss America pageant, but she posed nude and was stripped of her title. What's the difference between what she did and what Little Miss Can't Be Wrong did??

1. You said it yourself...
Donald Trump's not in charge of the the Miss America organization.

3. actually, she kept the crown and the scholarship money and is still listed as Miss America 1984
on the official Miss America website: http://www.missamerica.org/our-miss-americas/1980/1984.aspx

Her replacement is listed as Miss American 1984b.

5. Right, I think Vanessa resigned, but kept her crown and $ as a part of the deal.

Although it was under pressure, she was not, technically, stripped of her crown.

4. The pictures were a little different in nature

25 years ago, this was a little more difficult to, ahem, "swallow".

7. Funny... I think that was the same issue that had the underage Tracy Lords photos in it...
So, it's kind of illegal to sell or own it.

11. Scathing complaint about posting an inappropriate image
But before making it I'll save it onto my hard drive in case the mods delete it

12. I'm not sure....
But I think that we better have Prejean pose in the same manner just to make sure that I can get the proper visual.... for... research purposes.

8. I don't know but it was the pageant's loss, not Williams'.
She has always seemed like an intelligent, talented girl to me.

Seems like a nice person, too.

9. Does she even want it back?
She's done better without it.

10. If I remember correctly, Miss Williams received death threats when she competed
What has Prejean received?
