For nearly a century, Miss America contestants have strutted onstage in skimpy swimsuits, in a controversial pageant tradition that organisers long defended as a gauge of the women’s physical fitness. But the bikini has been banished. The Miss America Organization, confronting a harassment scandal and trying to find its place in the #MeToo era, said on Tuesday it would scrap the swimsuit portion, starting with its next pageant in September.

When I saw the item heading!!!!!!

You mean the contest has dropped the "swimsuit" walk, and not that "Miss America" has dropped her swimsuit.
Yes, That would be a disaster for her and this site, being a family site.:second:

I recollect this headline in a Tamil Daily in seventies -

இந்திர காந்தி ஜட்டியுடன் ஊர்வலம் ! - Indira was in a procession along with B D Jatti who was the Lt. Government of Pondicherry when she visited that place!

What you ' saw' is better, J J Ji!

There was an announcement in the airport like this, when Sri. Jatti

had to cancel his trip in the last minute:

Smt Indira Gandhi arrives without Jatti !!! eep:

கண்ணால் காண்பதும் பாெய் - காதால் கேட்பதும் பாெய் - தீர ஆராய்வதே மெய்!

One sees her with Jatti on the streets of Pondicherry The other hesrs her arrival with out Jatti in the airport. Seems Jatti needs further probe or ஆராய்ச்சி!
