Girl Steals Colt 45, Plans Williamsburg Beauty Pageant

0808wburgpageant.jpgEarlier this year Williamsburg resident Misha Calvert found herself being arrested for stealing two 40-oz Colt 45 bottles at a bodega in the neighborhood. Embarrassing! The 25-year-old took it in stride and somehow successfully pitched her own community service idea to the judge: a Mr. and Miss Williamsburg Pageant. No, really. FreeWilliamsburg reports that it'll all go down at Supreme Trading on September 5th, and there's still time to order your Bedford Avenue scarf, iron your skinny jeans, look up ironic in the dictionary, lose all sense of self, join the flock and enter! Calvert declares "It's not just about looks. Contestants will be judged on personal interview and talent as well. But like most situations we are judging each other, beauty does play a part. Why a pageant? Because they're awesome." Society, consider Calvert's debt paid.

I don't get it, but I hope I win

Is it ironic when hipsters make fun of ironic clothing worn by other hipsters?

Wait, what happens if you are ironic about being ironic?

There's smoke coming out of my ears.

Just like a hipster to come up with a community service project that only benefits and appeals to self-indulgent hipsters.

can the prize be free sterilization to prevent them from infecting the gene pool any further?

Colt 45: It works every time.

I'll go only if they will be serving free 40's.

I was wrong

speaking of irony:
she stole two bottles of colt 45

Specious: (adj) plausible but not true; based on pretense; sophistic

a) If you've sunk to stealing booze, what is the point of stealing cheap booze? Why not go for the good stuff?

b) How exactly is a beauty contest for rich white children community service?

I just did some research and the whole thing appears to be a publicity stunt...

Yeah, this whole thing is really stretching the idea of "community service". What a load of crap.

I'll reserve my judgment for the number of hot chicks at the pageant. Not enough and this idea is crap.

Not saying that she's a publicity hound or anything, of course...

This chick has an "assistant"???

Are there any pictures of this hottie, or am I dreaming in a fantasy world?

Height, weight, vital measurements including lip size, SAT scores? What are they?

Line them all up and let US judge them.

"Are there any pictures of this hottie, or am I dreaming in a fantasy world?

Maybe you are, if it's some fantasy world in which you can't follow the links in the article.

I cant wait to see this crack head put on a show

She couldn't afford the 3 bucks for two bottles of Colt 45?
