Ok, the Miss America pageant isn't until January. But you know what? Any day is a good day to appreciate the beauty, brains, and talent of young American women.
With that in mind, we present The Babes of the States: fine females from all across America, many of whom you probably already know and love. Consider this the swimsuit contest (swimsuits optional). [And many thanks to commenter hodayathink for inspiring this post!]

Sure, she gives us awkward Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fantasies. But she's both girl-next-door and epic temptress.
· via Little Mutt (littlemutt.com)
Miss Arkansas: Georgia Jones
It's important to remember that Georgia Jones is much more than one half of the Jones-Reagan power couple. She's a brunette bastion of babeness, and we're always happy to see her.

Miss California: Sasha Grey
What can we say about Sasha Grey? In brief: thousands of pornstars hail from the Golden State, but we automatically knew who would be Miss California. Nuff said.

Miss Colorado: Penny Flame
Penny Flame's community service is best summed up Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Hand Jobs and Penny Flame's Expert Guide to Rough Sex. Some people just love to give.

Miss Connecticut: Cassandra Calogera
According to her website, the "most dangerous" place she's ever had sex was on stage at her high school. A natural performer.

· via New Sensations (nsgalleries.com)
Miss Hawaii: Mika Tan
For a long time, Mika Tan received nomination after nomination from the AVN awards without winning, leading many to call her "the Susan Lucci of porn." After she won her first in 2006, she simply asked, "What am I going to call myself now?"

Growing up, Angelina Valentine dreamed of becoming president. Obama is cool and everything, but can you imagine?

In Kimberly Kole's hometown, "there was nothing to do." Sure, she had a boyfriend, but she didn't even kiss him until after high school. We don't know how she got to porn, but we're glad she did.
