Graceless Under Pressure

For the second year in a row, a Miss USA fell down during the evening gown competition of the Miss Universe pageant. A little advice for next year's contestant: get a shorter gown, wear flats or platforms, put sticky stuff on your soles and heels, practice walking, and don't feel pressured to continue the tradition. If you're still feeling a little nervous about it, fake a leg injury and use crutches. There's nothing to be ashamed of by pandering to the sympathy vote.
