Being huge dorks of Project Runway, we'd grown fond of young Miss USA, Tara Conner, even though she is famous ("famous")* for winning the pageant that's the "Bite-Size Frosted Wheat" to Miss America's "Frosted Mini-Wheats." We liked how good of a sport she was on the show, and also how she got fake-accented Malan Breton (who, it's been observed, watches Miss Saigon while twirling a baton) kicked off for, basically, saying that his dress looked like literal poo (it did).
