I don't think all muslims are terrorists and neither do they, were just going based on a middle east stereotype just as I was dressed as a stereotypical cowgirl. I hope you won't hold this against us but will see it in context for what it is. Thanks. Yasmeen,

Larissa, good thoughts on the costume...it certainly was a stretch on the imagination for me to be Miss Oklahoma material. :-) Way to go for your sister! Thanks Mary for the birthday wishes!

As the sister of a woman who has held four Miss America preliminary titles, including runner-up in Miss Oklahoma, and won nearly $50,000 in scholarships and gifts, I must protest your costume! However, I will let it slide this once, seeing as how I took belt buckles and dreamcatchers to Japan. The world loves our cowboys and indians (the PC terms would be ranchers and Native Americans, I guess)!! Oh, what a stereotype you are!
