I just read that Miss Central Rhode Island Betsy Montes has chosen "fashion design: green glamour" as her talent and I am bummed I won't be attending that pageant so I can see it! I am hoping it ends up on YouTube!

This unique talent got me thinking - what are some other unique talents you could bring to the Miss America stage? I saw a magic act once - that was very neat and I think could be a winning talent if you really polished it. My first year at Miss America, I saw silk aerial dancing and that was pretty unusual.

When Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson was crowned Miss America, her talent was hula dancing and that was pretty "out there" for 1987. Check out the video of her talent—it's a classic!

What are some more unusual talents YOU have seen? What are your favorite talents?
