Double standard for Miss California? Dethroned Miss Nevada thinks so.

Carrie Prejean's name has dominated the media with her racy photos and her contraversial answer in the Miss USA pageant a few week ago. Now, dethroned Miss Nevada, Katie Rees, speaks out.

There once was a beauty queen who took naughty pictures and, some years later, did not get to keep her crown.

Despite the magnanimity shown to Miss California Carrie Prejean, Katie Rees—Miss Nevada 2007—was out of luck when racy pics of her showed up after she won her title.

And she's none too happy about what she perceives to be a "huge double standard."

"Semi-nude photos are semi-nude photos," she told E! News, comparing the topless lingerie pics of Prejean with her own shots, which featured a 17-year-old Rees baring a breast, flashing her thong, and doing her best Katy Perry impression.

Miss Universe Organization honcho Donald Trump deemed the photos inappropriate and stripped Rees of her Miss Nevada USA title in December 2006.

And this isn't the first time since that Rees has spoken out in opposition to the less harsh treatment doled out to some of her pageant peers.

She called it "unfair" when Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner was allowed to keep her title after the then-underage beauty queen was spotted drinking in various NYC bars and, at one point, kissing one of her gal-pals.

Rees said today that she and Prejean both signed contracts swearing that there were no nude or semi-nude photographs of them in existence.

And they both broke the contract, Rees added, but she is the only one who had to pay so harshly for her mistake. She asked for a chance to reclaim her title, but was denied.

Read on.

Every decision that one makes comes with consequences. Rees had to live with her consequences and Prejean will learn. As far as Miss North Carolina, winner of Miss USA 2009, the beauty queen is staying close to the middle of the Prejean contraversy.

Look The Donald is on his own personal mission. As each young lady with blonde hair and looks like someone he can use they get off. Now when The Donald isn't interested your fired. Carrie is a bimbo and The Donald will use it to get her in bed like the others. Why do you think The Donald has beauty contest anyway. He's a rich dirty pig and money keeps in safe. Carrie will get to know The Donald and when he's finished that's it. Now his current wife is there as a trophy only yes the baby but that's about it. Ivna and Marla know how The Donald plays and uses young innocent stupid girls.
