Winning an alternative beauty pageant yielded no real career opportunities
Evidence
I wish I could tell you that becoming Miss Alternative L.A. propelled me to stardom, but the only official offer that came with the title was an invite from the marketing department of the Landmark Theatres a few weeks later. They asked me to make a special appearance at the Fox Venice Theatre alongside Russ Meyer at the screening of his film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! All I recall of that evening was me standing alongside Russ as he totally ignored me while showing favor to his super vixens. I guess my 44DDs were just not big enough for him to consider me a Real Beauty. — Dolores DeLuce, Blow Jobs, 58
