When Jerry met Bria...

The Miss Teen Minnesota regionals were held in a church basement the next town over from Norville. Jerry Ross and the other judges, his bowling buddy Marty and local spinster Mildred Livsky, were seated on folding chairs behind a flimsy table, making notes, conducting interviews and assessing the talent. He considered it a generally mediocre crop of farmgirls, too skinny or too chunky. He did, however, take immediate notice of Bria Jeurgen, particularly during the interview when he discovered the radiant blonde was local.

When it came time for the talent portion, Bria started pulling her heavy sweater off over her head. "Is her talent stripping?!" Marty whispered in disbelief as the teen revealed a thin camisole top she was wearing underneath, and leotards under her jeans. She smoothed her hair down, took a deep breath, and launched into a dance featuring ballet moves. Jerry watched the performance with great interest, particularly how high her breasts sat in the cups of her top. It was clear the teen's breasts had developed considerably since she had last been measured for that outfit.

Bria danced well, but it was impossible for Jerry not to watch her breasts bounce in their tight confines as she moved. As the pretty blonde executed an arabesque, she bent deeply at the waist, revealing that she was not wearing a bra as the judges were afforded a glimpse right down her top. Then as she swept her arm around and rotated her body, the spaghetti strap of her camisole slipped off her shoulder and down her arm. The judges gasped as she crisply bent backwards into a cambré pose, and her breast peeped out of her top.

Jerry watched in wide-eyed wonder as Bria deftly executed her routine, unaware or unconcerned of the wardrobe malfunction that had her breast fully exposed. He had never liked ballet until he watched this busty blonde! When she finished, Bria curtsied to the panel, causing her other strap to slip off the shoulder as well. As they applauded appreciatively, she took hold of the straps, one in each hand, and in trying to reposition her breasts, actually pulled her top down sufficient to briefly flash them with both breasts before getting the straps back in place. It was a show none of them would ever forget.

Mildred was hesitant, but ultimately Bria Jeurgen was chosen to continue to the state finals. Afterwards, Jerry introduced himself to Bria and her mother, Tanya. "Congratulations," he told her. "Just a tip: there's alot of cameras at the pageant!" The teen nodded, no indication in her wide blue eyes that she knew what he was talking about, so he continued. "Uh, you might want to try something other than ballet. Or at least get a better-fitting top!" Bria smiled at him, nodded slightly, and walked away, leaving him to wonder: did she not realize the show she just gave? Did she not care? Or was it deliberate?
