 After seeing these pictures for myself, I'm afraid I cannot sympathize
with the former Miss America. They are not at all tastefully done and I 
really question her judgement in having posed for them in the first place.
 Also, I believe she is lying about not having signed a release for them.
If she indeed had not, there is no way PENTHOUSE would have published them. 
 Actually, I wouldn't be a bit suprised if this whole thing was actually
thought up by her. After all, she now has even more public exposure (pun 
intended) than if she just faded away after relinquishing her crown in 
September. Maybe she WANTS her career to have a bit of spice in it.
Controversy and scandal have always been great free advertising if you can
take the heat.
 Considering the nature of those pictures I'd say they had no choice but
to ask her to give up her title. I don't believe that this is the sort of 
image we want our Miss America to project. 
 I only wish PENTHOUSE had enough class to wait until she was no longer
the current Miss America ...
