Once again, all together now, a hale hooray for Mississippi. Our neighbor state continues to make Louisiana look good in national rankings, this time in The Daily Beast’s “Best Looking States.” Sportsman’s Paradise, it turns out, aint’ exactly Hottie Central, coming in at No. 42 out of 51. (The District of Columbia is included and, coincidentally, ranks No. 1.)
Depending on how you look at it, Louisiana is the 42nd best looking state or the 10th ugliest — not pretty by an measure. But take heart, the Magnolia State gets a 49 ranking, followed by the Dakotas, South and North respectively. Rounding out the top three, after D.C., are Hawaii and California. We may not be the prettiest state, but as another recent ranking suggests, we are the happiest.
The Beast ranked states by three criteria:
First, we determined who had the most stunners-per-capita (allowing Connecticut and California an equal playing field), tallying the hometowns of more than 300 male and female fashion models, plus 125 men mentioned in ten years’ worth of People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issues. Then, we accounted for the results of the Miss America and Miss USA pageants for the past decade. Finally, in order to measure general attractiveness, we factored in health and fitness data for each state from 2006-2008, ranked by the Trust for America’s Health. Each of those three criteria—models, pageant winners, fitness—was weighed equally, with any ties broken by which state performed best in the latter category.

What a completely vacuous poll, test, measurement. Whole uplifting point of article is we ugly. Of course, the Walmart ugly factor wasn't considered, nor was brains to come in out of the rain. When you fast forward 30 years, you're going to ask, what was I thinking. That smart, good-looking Louisiana gal is still going to be smart and looking great, and cooking a mean gumbo

Is it a crime for citizens to photograph, video, or take notes of a police officer in the line of duty, or a right protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Locally, such activity, as witnessed recently, will at the very least result in a night spent behind bars.

This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
