FINALLY, all this Miss USA business is getting somewhere. The girls got down to the nuts and bolts of this thing this weekend with the swimsuit competition portion of the beauty pageant. Let’s all pause to take a moment to appreciate everything the black two-piece has done for us over the years.

Also this weekend, the girls were over to Red Rock Lanes to roll a few frames, but donning bowling shoes and rehashing lines from The Big Lebowski is a far cry from heels and bikinis. Next year, Miss USA, why not kill two birds with one stone and bring the girls bowling in the swimsuits?
