- <p> If you thought there was something familiar about the Miss
- U.S.A. pageant last week, you were dead right. The winner was. .
- . Miss Texas -- for the fifth year in a row. Gretchen Polhemus
- of Fort Worth succeeded Courtney Gibbs, also of Fort Worth, who
- succeeded Michelle Royer of Keller, who succeeded Christy
- Fichtner of Dallas, who succeeded Laura Martinez-Herring of El
- Paso. And who knows where it all will end, so long as GuyRex
- Associates of El Paso is around. The firm, which specializes in
- grooming beauty-pageant contestants, worked its magic on all
- five Texas winners and in fact runs the Miss Texas-U.S.A.
- franchise. "There are no more queens," explains GuyRex partner
- Richard Guy. "Momma doesn't make apple pie anymore. It's all
- frozen, all corporate-owned."
