"From bathing suits to space-age helmets, Shirley Pierson’s costumes are a blast. The ladies represent their home territories (Miss Bible Belt, Miss West Coast, et al), and the evening dress on Miss Deep South (David McBean, whose face subtly spoke volumes when he came in second place) was a marvel worthy of Scarlett O’Hara."
