SoI was watching the E! True Hollywood story about the Women of Desperate Houswives, and they showed video footage of Eva Longoria in the Miss Corpus Christi pageant. The interesting bit isn't the highlighted footage of Ms. Longoria's choreography performance, but that of "the woman in the green dress" who is at least half a beat behind. We'll call her Sandy.
Sandy must have wanted to do well in the pageant or she wouldn't have entered. We don't know how she did, but we're sure that this was Sandy's worst part of the pageant, and of which she surely was embarassed at the time.
Ok, so Sandy goes through life happy despite not winning the pageant (Eva Longoria did). She even tells her friends that she lost the Miss Corpus Christi pageant to Eva Longoria - why wouldn't she claim this small part of fame. And then E! obtains footage of the disastrous performance. Is she aware of it? Does she laugh at herself? Do her friends laugh at her or with her?
What a post-modern conundrum. Being presented years after the fact with an embarassing event that receded into memory and was only available in the present because video recorders have added partial permanence to the perishable events of our lives.
We'll never know how Sandy reacts, but we hope she laughs.
