Contestants determine for themselves what evening gown, bathing suit and talent mean.
In the past:
Talent has been interpreted as meaning curing athlete's foot, imitating castanets, mixing martinis in a vibrating chair, reciting "all of 'Gone With the Wind' in 3 minutes", demonstrating a snake bit kit and playing Beethoven on the recorder with one's nose.
Swimsuit winners have paraded with a fish taped to one leg (1982 Queen Terry Sand), wearing a shark tank (1984 Queen Barbara Scott) and in a wetsuit and pearls (Patterson).
