Ah, Pageantry!

Posted by Nicole Pasulka

 

This lovely lady is Elyse Umemoto from Washington State. But not only is she from Washington...

she is Miss Washington, and was the runner up in this year's Miss America pageant. Any guesses as to what her talent was?

As a Seattle-ite, let me say, that young lady represents us well -- so playful, so giving. I'd insert the state cheer here -- "Rock Chalk!" or "Go Sooners!" or whatever it is  -- but I don't know what it is ("Toss those powdered wigs high!"?), as I just moved to the Pacific Northwest last year. Judging from the pictures, though, I think I'm just suppose to strike a pose and flip you off.

Consider it done.
