i meant to do that


For the second year in a row, a Miss USA candidate fell during the evening wear portion of the competition.

Miss USA Crystle Stewart, pictured above, took a serious digger just seconds after entering the stage in her formal gown. Her recovery strategy? Getting up quickly, throwing her arms up in the air and clapping.

Get the full story, as well as video of the fall, here. And click here to see what she said in the incident's aftermath. (Four-letter words not included.)

Consider the pageant cursed. Last year, Miss USA Rachel Smith did the same thing. See that video here.

What does this say about American women in heels?
