"  Prior to hitting the well-mopped Miss America runway to show off their physical fitness and talents in the area of swimsuit wearing, pageant contestants (who all wore bikinis) made small talk with the host (covered everywhere except his hands and face). One competitor said all she&amp;#039;d had time for in the recent past was hair spray and butt glue. You could hear the families that had lovingly united for this broadcast reacting in living rooms across America: &amp;quot;Butt glue?!&amp;quot; Naturally, Twitter lit afire in intrigue.    What football game? Miss. America #hairspray &amp;amp; #buttglue #wowzers \u2014 Jeffrey Bannon (@JeffreyBannon) September 16, 2013   So about this butt glue \u2014 some answers: yes, it&amp;#039;s an actual product. Yes, it&amp;#039;s readily available for purchase on the internet. Yes, the pageant contestants can explain. &amp;quot;We use butt glue,&amp;quot; Miss South Carolina told ABC when it promoted the pageant earlier this year (the headline of the post begins, as it would, &amp;quot;Butt Glue?&amp;quot;). &amp;quot;This is my first time in swimsuit,&amp;quot; South Carolina continued. &amp;quot;So I thought it was like an Elmer&amp;#039;s glue stick. It&amp;#039;s not. It&amp;#039;s called Firm Grip. You use baby wipes to get it off. And we have evening gown later, so we don&amp;#039;t want our evening gowns sticking to our underwear.&amp;quot; It appears as though Firm Grip is available at specialty pageant retailers, like Queen&amp;#039;s Choice. It is said that if you need butt glue in a pinch, you can use hairspray. So no Elmer&amp;#039;s, ladies. You don&amp;#039;t want a bunch of white stuff accumulating on your butt when you&amp;#039;re walking about in a swimsuit. Generally just not a good idea. Want more from Amy? Follwer her on Twitter.
