My Pix of Impress These Apes 3, Show #7 - Beauty Pageant

Impress These Apes! All pix by me, full set here. Last night's talent was Beauty Pageant, and the Apes roped a real-life beauty queen into the shenanigans to be a guest judge. Some contestants took it seriously, while some were more tongue-in-cheek, but there were surprises all around.

First, I am enamored of this photo, maybe one of the prettiest I've ever taken. Becky was simply reaching for the mic to answer her pageant question, but she looks like Ella Fitzgerald gearing up for a classic.
