Several people have asked me what is the significance of "Show Me Your Shoes" on my 2013 banquet chip.
In case you have not heard, the Miss America Pageant is permanently moving back to Atlantic City this year after a brief stint in Las Vegas. Well, years ago, before political correctness came into vouge, the Miss America Parade was held on the A.C. Boardwalk the night before the telecast pageant. During the parade route, calls to the contestants "Show Me Your Legs" were heard up and down the Boardwalk as the convertibles went by. Those cat-calls are no longer appropriate in today's political correctness climate, so now the chant heard is "Show Me Your Shoes" ... which means the same thing as "Show Me Your Legs".
