And the winner is…
Last night as my wife and I boarded the elevator we were joined by an interesting cast. We were leaving the A’s romping of the O’s evening the series at 1 game a piece and the elevator was filled by other bewildered and perhaps drunken fans leaving the game. This obviously isn’t all that interesting; however, the future Miss USA 2005 boarded the elevator with us accompanied by her two chaperones.
For those that don’t know, the Miss USA 2005 Pageant is taking place in Charm City at the Hippodrome. It was announced back in October apparently:
The state of Maryland will host the 54th Annual Miss USA® Competition live from the historic, Hippodrome Theatre…
Baltimore has retained its sense of history, art and tradition, while carefully blending in cosmopolitan progress. With over one hundred community festivals, concerts, and events organized annually, more than 1.5 million visitors per year delight in the discovery of Baltimore’s charms.
These lovely ladies will be attending the finale of the Orioles/Athletics series tonight. Miss Maryland Marina Harrison and current Miss USA Shandi Finnessey will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitches. Along with Miss Alabama Jessica Tinney, Miss Montana Amanda Kimmel, Miss New Hampshire Candace Glickman, Miss Oregon Jessica Carlson and Miss Washington Amy Crawford who will be singing the National Anthem.
So Amy & I got home and tried to figure out who the future Miss USA 2005 was that rode on the elevator with us. As any good pageant goes there was one winner and two runner ups. It was a little difficult figuring out which one she was, but we think we have a winner.
