This article is full of beautiful, perfect sentences that I had to gleefully read out to the others even though I'd just sent them the link.

But the one that make me immediately envision an entire movie I now desperately need to see is:

[a past Princess Kay of the Milky Way finalist] describes the community of past Princess Kay finalists and winners as a sorority, a network of lifelong friends forever bonded by their buttery immortalization.

So, obviously they all have to team up. All this year's (whatever year it is) group, with some older ones, one badass old lady who came second place in like 1947 but has also outlived all her contemporaries so feels like she won in the end, a bunch of moms, an old lesbian or something...at least one trans guy for sure right.

I'm just not sure what kind of movie it is. My first thought was maybe a heist or they have to solve a crime, but then [personal profile] mother_bones suggested "the butter is poisoned" and having just read this article that made me think how the poisoned butter would threaten an entire small town at the corn feed held to use it all up... Maybe a slasher movie where someone bitter that they didn't get to be Princess Kay starts trying to pick them off.

Bitter Head could work as a title either way.

That is a fabulous article, top to bottom, and reminds me why I say I come from the Great Lakes region, not the Midwest, because there really is no equivalent where I am of the butter-sculpted head as a prize for being a princess.

We have other things, most certainly, although I generally only ever went to county fairs rather than the state ones, so I don't even know if there was an equivalent at the state fair where I grew up. Mostly I remember lots of exhibits with ribbons attached to them. (That, and we began to joke that Edward Aloysius, having lived in the era when most of these objects on display were in common use, could probably give a guided tour of the exhibit halls, and that if he wasn't careful, he might sit down to take a nap and wake up with a blue ribbon pinned to him.)
