2. For Seriously!
Anyone's camera who is between the ages of 17 to 25 will have pics like this--this isn't wrong---just a part of growing up. She may be a "role model", but I think it's wrong to project perfection onto a role model. They should be REAL people who do amazing things but still live life and get through the hills and valleys of life.
4. Obviously the people that got upset over these photos haven't seen a typical college party. Trust me, these photos are very, very tame compared to a lot of stuff that happens every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night on your local college campus. I know that doesn't mean that it's the best thing for people to go out and do, but it's definitely not the worst thing they can do.
5. And this is who our young girls are looking up to? Thank God my girls are grown. They had a great roll model like Cheryl Pruitt. What ever happened to women like her?
6. Is that the best the state of Wash can do? I can't figure it out. Does she like to lick ?#!$@ or does she like to have her #!@$? licked, or both?
Grow up!!!
9. Are you kidding me? These are the photos that launched all of this controversy?!?
OMG these are so lame. I've seen worse stuff from girls who I know that are in political offices right now.
Jeez people, lighten up.
11. Look i understand the importance of being a good role model, but you haft to understand also that shes a young adult. shes allowed to drink and have fun. i cant honestly believe that anyone on earth has been through their twenties and never ever did anything like this. its not even that bad. i imagine the pressure she must go through daily some kind of release is understandable. i would have thought about it a little more in front of a camera, but who thinks when drinking. thats the fun part. sometime we all haft to be young and dumb . i live almost 5 minuits from where shes from and its a hard town, tough town .i know many poeple from there and i think she has paid her dues becouse its a very difficult place to rise from. much respect to her and best wishes..... SIRE
12. who cares there not that bad its not like she 14 and doin shots shes 23 and i dont think theres anythin rong w/ the pics there no ware near as bad as ms navadas pics seriously
14. OK, for the religious comment down at the bottom, who are you to decide what God thinks and how he will take things? That makes you just as low as anyone else on this earth that may do something wrong every once in awhile. As for the subject in question, I'm undecided. I believe that pageant winners (and contestants) should behave appropriately in public and set decent example, but drinking when you are of legal age to do so is not inappropriate by any means; however, pictures may be fun to take in the privacy of someone's own home, to laugh and joke about, but when they are leaked to the internet and press when that individual is in a place of leadership and to set an example, I feel as though he or she should be even more careful with who or what goes on. Still my full support goes out to Elyse. Everyone makes mistakes, even if they aren't very dramatic and get turned into a big deal.

1. I now find myself strangely drawn to her. A real party chick, instead of a poceline doll? You rock, Miss WA!
