that Miss USA girls want to grow up and become lingerie models. Miss America girls want to be doctors and lawyers.” On stage, the former


Miss California is joined by her assistant stage manager and former Miss Green Bay Area, the bleached-blonde Jenny Thomas. The two women prep the girls for the tal- ent portion of the night. They usher the ladies on and off stage using head- sets to communicate with the sound booth to dim the lights or to turn up or down the music. They offer tips and help- ful critiques of each tal- ent routine. Prior to tonight’s

dress rehearsal I have already meet three out of the nine Miss San Diego contestants. Up on stage they morph into different people from the ones I sat down with a few days ago. Chelsea Magracia, with her chestnut-brown hair and petite frame, was optimistic and bubbly when I met her at a coffee shop near her Chula Vista home. Now she appears intense and introverted. She stands apart from the other girls. Stone-faced, she practices a section of the opening routine over and over again, making sure that it is just right. She was the last of the nine women to enroll in the pageant. She joined the girls three weeks ear- lier, while the others have been practicing together for six weeks. “Do you think the


other contestants hold your late entry against you?” I asked Magracia during our interview ear- lier in the week. “I couldn’t say. I barely


know them.” She pauses for a moment before add- ing in her best pageant voice, “They are all terrific and talented girls.” The p orce l a in-


skinned beauty, Kirstin Roberts, whom I met three days prior in Mis- sion Hills, looks like a ball of nerves on stage. She was so polished during our conversation that her answers seemed scripted. Roberts is the youngest of seven children. She comes from a pageant family. She grew up in a home whose closets were stuffed with formal gowns. Her older sisters competed in the pageant circuit. One of them was crowned Miss Oregon. Roberts feels a tremen- dous amount of pressure to win the crown. That pressure is palpable as she moves around onstage. Mallory Murphy is


the only one who appears totally herself on stage. She talks and laughs with the other girls. She exudes confidence. I met Murphy five days prior in Solana Beach. She was sitting at an oblong table in a dimly lit Starbucks. I walked past her several times, scanning the room for the blonde whose photo I saw on the Miss San Diego website. Magracia and Roberts showed up to our interviews perfectly coifed, their hair curled, makeup expertly applied, each one in high heels with teeth so white they glowed. Murphy is differ- ent. On the night of our meeting, Murphy’s blond hair is frizzy and damp. It is thrown into a sloppy low pony tail. She wears sweats paired with boots. Her oversized sweater is pilling. While Magracia and


Roberts tend to pause before answering my questions in order to formulate answers, Mur- phy dives right in, often oversharing. Within 15 minutes I have learned that her boyfriend frowns upon the Eiffel Tower tat- too she got to commem- orate the four and a half
