One of our best Miss USAs ever!

One of the most beautiful & gracious winners ever.

I know! I always wanted to see this pageant but nobody ever had it. Finally! Thanks for posting!

i just love her reaction.....so lovely hahaha!

A couple months after she won Miss USA, I met and spoke with Kim Tomes at an autograph signing she was doing in San Antonio. She was no Blondie bimbo, she was funny, down to earth and chatted with you like she was your friend and neighbor. A class act and still looks pretty in her early 60s.

Barbara Petersen a great Miss USA.

One of my very favorite Miss USA's.

I agree. Chelsi Smith was very articulate, and beautiful. Her personality was just right for Miss USA, and The Miss Universe '95

Chelsie Smith 1995, is the best USA ever!!!!

Personally, I think Kim was the best of the Texas nine, and certainly one of the best Miss USAs ever. She was wholesome and raw.

i can't believe barbara peterson failed to make the semis in miss usa. she's one of the best looking miss usa's to date. when i watched a clip of miss usa 2001 she's aged very well.

she the frist miss texas crown miss usa next year in 1985-1986-1987-1988-1989-1995-2001-2008 miss texas.

They almost won in 2015.

Gente,como ela lembrava Farrah Fawcett!!!!!

her gown is back in fashion classic n regal

I'm a little biased, but I honestly think Debbie was definitely the prettiest of the final 5, and would have been great for her to have given Minnesota its second title in a row.

I like Kim. She is definitely my favourite Miss Texas, Miss USA winner, but I was really hoping for Miss Virginia or Minnesota to be victorious!

I liked Miss Virginia.

The beginning of Texas victory!!! I can't believe their first crown was in 1977 and not earlier...just like how Venezuela got their first winner in 1979

Miss Texas victories came from a lot of training. They had 2 guys who trained them. They were called GUY/REX. As for Venezuela, they too trained hard and long. True of Hispanic countries; so now Mexico is catching up to Puerto Rico, Colombia, Dominican Republic and Venezuela.

Tomes was a great choice. I wish she would have done better at Miss Universe. I think she looks a lot like Doris Day.

Miss Nevada was a gorgeous doll, I like her better than the actual winner.

I wonder what bob told miss minnesota that she nodded her head and says no no?

365 minutes? O days?? Jijiji Barbara got confused.

Do you mean Miss Universe!

Texas' dress was absolutely gorgeous....but I think Minnesota was prettier. Texas stood out, very blonde and unique-looking. Interesting Texas hadn't won until this year. They've made up for lost time, they now have the most wins.

she meant 365 days n not minutes

Agree. In the 1976 Miss USA contest, Miss Michigan was easily the best, but she got second place. She probably would have made top five at Miss Universe.
