 Mandy Daniels, Miss Cobb County, Georgia, sings to an enthusiastic audience. |
| "Absolutely not," he said. "I'm far too shy." (For those unfamiliar with American slang, one meaning of "lose the boxers" is an invitation to get naked.) We quickly explained that we weren't talking about underwear. We were talking about palookas. "The next time you go to 'Fight Night,' Joe, just take pictures of the pretty girls. Ignore those guys with heavy gloves pounding each other in the center of the ring. They are much too violent for a peace-loving pageant news organization." He got the message. That's why these photos, taken during an extravaganza of professional fisticuffs, are so gentle on the eyes. No brawlers, just beauties. Peace. |
