Miss America 1984 Crowning Moment

Sometimes the put tape on the crown instead of using pins so it just sticks to the hair.

Vanessa Williams' hair looks "Cooked". That sh!t IS NOT movin'!

all these women, all of them are extremely talented

Don't forget 1st runner up Ms Charles, was a light skin African American also. Ms Charles went on to serve as Ms America when Ms Williams had too relinquish the crown!

she is so beautiful ..

......and then her crown got taken away...similiar to the brothers at the 1968 Olympics...

my bff is vanessa williams

Vanessa is a typical American (only gorgeous) w/a mixture of many ethnic backgrounds. She's black, English, Natice American=stunning.

Cicely Tyson, Naomi Sims (RIP), Diahann Carroll, Beverly Johnson, Diana Ross....I disagree with you.

i guess there's always an exception to every rule. and, i guess i was referring to the cross-over artists who were sex symbols. and of those who u mentioned only cicely tyson and perhaps naomi sims would be considered by most to be 'dark' skinned. but, it was just an observation on my part. nothing to get into a debate over...
