From 51 to 1: 2010 Miss USA Crowned in Las Vegas
May 16, 2010
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 24-year-old brunette from Michigan has beaten out four blondes and 46 other women for the 2010 Miss USA title after nearly stumbling in her evening gown.
Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Mich., won the pageant Sunday night after swimsuit, evening gown and interview competitions at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. During the competition, Fakih nearly fell while finishing her walk in a long, strapless gown because of the length of its train, but she recovered without a spill and went on to win.
In the interview, Fakih was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance, and she said she believed it should. Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was first runner-up after handling a question about Arizona's new immigration law. She said she supports it.

Not quite. Most folks on PR are mullato/Trigueno, with noticeable African features (not a bad thing, btw :)). It is true, however, that most PR beauty queens tend to be more Mediterranean/European looking than the population as a whole. This is a commonality amongst most LA beauty contestants, btw.
The lovely young lass in question resembles the daughter of a former client of mine, who was based in El Salvador, but of Lebanese ancestry (the Lebs being disproportionately represented amongst the wealthy in Latin America). Unfortunately for me she was already engaged at the time. :(
I have but one word: Day-um.
If only it WERE strange. CINO, I’d say, but sadly there are many Cafeteria Catholics who pick and choose which Magisterial teachings to follow and which one’s to ignore. She is probably ‘personally opposed, but not willing to subject others to her opposition stance’ or some such hypocritical crap...
