11. No way I’m pulling for Gretchen Carlson. She makes my molars hurt when she speaks.

    1981 and 1988 are both beauties. I’m gonna go 88.

12. Why do all these women who are around 20 years old look 30?

13. The Mattel Holiday Barbie was first produced in 1988.
    It looks like Miss America 1988.

14. Sadly, only one of these women have I seen naked.
    🙂

15. I think the numbers you posted were wrong for the ladies thtat were represented either way I voted for 1957 and I like to see her tit’s now…..you promised me in your campaigne..

16. I think it is cool that they had a mother-daughter combo in 1986-87

17. And it was kinky too, if I recall. Sort of an S & M thing. Very embarrassing for the pageant, but very lucrative for Bob Guccione.

18. The affirmative action ratio seems about right…

19. Can I vote none of the above?

20. OH BOY!….Bad Brad could come in like a Viking warship on that slip O’ the lip…….

21. Marian was born in 1936. My best guess is those boobies are now hangers.

22. 1989 was Gretchen Carleson of Fox News.

23. 1983 if I wanted to wake up in the mornin’ drink’n hot jasmine tea….

24. Hey…who photo shopped by high school photo onto Miss America 1988?

25. Miss ’84 is a good choice. She had to tough out a hard time.

26. Admit it. You 1984 fans are only voting for her because you got to see her naughty bits. Fess up!!!

27. How the hell is 1977 the winner when 1975 has 77 votes and 1977 has 32 votes?

28. WTH? 1986 and 87 look like the same chickie.

    I’m going with ’81.

29. I don’t like any of them. Miss 1977 is still the girl I’d like to go skinny dipping with.

    Miss 1982, Elizabeth Ward, was a local sweetheart at Arkansas Tech. That is, until she had an affair with Bill Clinton. I can’t picture her without thinking about Bill’s cigar in her mouth. Barf!
    Good luck getting votes now Beth. lol

    I’m going with the girl who called Ted Kennedy a hostile enemy, Gretchen Carlson miss 1989, even though she’s not my type. I could vote for any of them. Maybe 1981????

    77 beats them all.!

30. Agreed. I bet beneath that shy veneer she is a freak in the bedroom!
    And she likely held up well after all.

31. Some asshole probably brought a bus load of Somalians to spam up the votes for that other gal? I’m glad to see that the prettiest one won.

32. 81 all the way. 88 is bias with better pixel quality. Look past the quality of the photo, don’t be so shallow.

33. Crap, my girl 77 got bumped! 75 looks like a friend my little brother had in the 70s, named Jeff. An eye doctor could really clean up around here. 🙄

34. Something fishy, google 1983 miss america and it comes up Vanessa. Google 1982 Miss america and it isn’t the one shown as 1983. I am so confused. 1983 looks like Sasha Alexander

35. Yep. Changed my vote to 81. But I’d drop her like a Chinese guitar for 1977.

36. 1982. She has that “come hither” look.

37. I’ll tell you what….grabbing humanism out of a randomly typed message is hard to do….it could take months if not years, but you are one funny, caustic…..MF’er…..LOL….good to have met ya….

38. I’m predicting ’84 as the winner.

    Vanessa is not only beautiful, she has the best photographer and post-editing of the bunch.

    The other photos look like they’re right off a Kodak Instamatic.

    1975 was my second place pick of the 70s. Very pretty but she looks kind of Valuim-ed out like a Stepford wife – which would make her easier to hook up with back then. So there’s that. Just sayin’.

    As for my pick? I use one measure: Who would I like to see at my side every day.

    They all look too high maintenance in these pics ( Plastic-y) and not worth the effort. I would have to meet them to really choose between this group.

    Vanessa looks the hottest, to me in this 2D contest, though.

39. Was color photography not invented until 30 years ago?

40. You too Willy. You know I’m just joking. Eye of the beholder. 😉

41. I’m voting for 1987 – she is not only very good-looking, there’s something about her expression that suggests that she has a good attitude about herself and is having fun with it all. I find that extremely appealing!

42. They’re all wearing WAY too much makeup, at the expense of their natural beauty. Even Vanessa ‘ s gorgeousness is straining to show through that horrid eyeshadow and gross red lipstick.

43. Just took a second look at the pictures and realized that the blow dryer is an enemy of beauty. Not a single one of these gals has anything other than an insanely overworked hairstyle. I’d like to see a second set of pictures with chignons, bobs, French twists, etc., not this crazy “helmet hair.”

44. 1984 because she looked great wearing S & M gear…. And nothing else….. 🙂

45. 1980

46. 1981

47. @Anonymous – Sasha Alexander shows total frontage in Showtime’s series “Shameless.” Great breastseses!

48. I met Vanessa Williams (1984) when I escorted her onstage at the New York State Fair. The picture shown here does not do her justice. She was stunningly beautiful. Literally, I could barely talk. Had a huge crush on her ever since.

49. Write-in vote for FDR’s 1933.

50. I’ve always thought she was beautiful myself. She is a lovely singer as well.

51. 1982 has Mary-Louise Parker eyes.

52. For the most part…. A real low point in earrings. 🙁

53. ’88
    Four thumbs up, (my big toes have digit assignment disorder)

54. It’s uncanny. I’ve resorted myself to voting before checking the tally and both times my first and second picks were the ones leading.

    Gosh. Is this my nascent white privilege I’ve read so much about?

55. Sorry, but in 1987 the best looking gal in America was too busy marrying me to compete!

    And 28 years later she’s hotter than this whole lot.

56. Wretchen Barfonsome is a TOTAL school marm who is in a perpetual state of her monthly cycle.

57. 1982

58. 1983 is Diogenes or her twin….loves me some Leon Redbone…..

59. ’88

60. Did you see that the organization made an apology to her during the show for treating her so bad? They said she has lived her life with dignity and grace and they regret their actions.

61. dispute is over?

62. ” Literally, I could barely talk.”

    Try this on for size…

63. Hey! Eleanor’s got a new screen-saver!

64. Was that in PENTHOUSE or National Geographic?

65. OK…he wouldn’t bite…..somehow I missed the truce……but the answer is “Yeah, But did she see you naked?”…..thank you….thank you very much….

66. That’s exactly what Eleanor said. 😉

67. The silicon chip inside her head
    Gets switched to overload.
    And nobody’s gonna go to school today,
    She’s going to make them stay at home.
    And daddy doesn’t understand her,
    He always said she was as good as gold.
    And he can see no reasons
    ‘Cause there are no reasons
    What reason do you need to be shown?

    I don’t like Gretchen.

68. You’re very lucky. I have only seen pictures of one of them naked.

    🙂

69. Naw, we’re doing it because Black lives matter…

    🙂

70. I cast my vote for

    https://dvdbash.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/desperate-housewives-dvd-s8-vanessa-williams-renee-perry-005-dvdbash.jpg

    The 80’s contest is no contest at all.

71. Only lofo’s know their names. Losers.

72. yup
