We're glad we asked

Photos courtesy of Miss Teen America

In September 2005, PNB ran a superb article about Meghan Bryan, the reigning Miss Teen America. Maybe "superb" is too weak a word. (This is a field where superlatives reign.) But as we said at the time, the story had one weakness: It did not contain a swimsuit photo of the young queen.

In the interest of humanity, we issued a public plea for such a photo. We received two, and now, with humanity still uppermost in our minds, we are publishing both.

There's a lesson here. As every Hollywood buff knows, all great show business careers began with swimsuit photos. And some careers were delayed by the slow arrival of swimsuit photos. So whatever you do, don't hold them back.

This has been a public service announcement. More or less.
