Williamsburg's Beauty Pageant Unironically Turns Ugly

0809calvertmisha.jpgRemember the Mr. & Miss Williamsburg Pageant? Well, it happened, and one contestant reports back that the winner was victorious by drinking a PBR and simultaneously taking her panties off from under an American Apparel romper. Also...this crowned hipster jewel was from New Jersey. But wait, the scandal goes even deeper! She notes that Misha Calvert, head of the pageant (pictured), "instructed us not to tell anyone from the press that the whole applicant process was rigged" and that the Colt 45 story was a fabricated publicity stunt (shocking!). While this particular contestant and Calvert are no longer friends on Facebook (harsh!), the former did learn something: intellect cannot beat taking off one's underwear whilst donning an American Apparel romper, and "a large part of being a hipster in Williamsburg is flashing your vagina to the entirety of New York media."

    Those people in the pictures all deserve to be punched in the head.

  • NannyState

    Just be glad that Mr. Williamsburg didn't "flash his vagina".

  • NorthShore

    Yeah, but what about the photo of Misha that's in the Post? Not that the woman in that photo looks completely wrecked, but it looks waayy worse than that glam gold bikini shot, which makes me think that the totally busted pic is probably legit and unaltered.

  • mishayesmisha

    I'm sure the photographer you hired for the event was perfectly capable of photoshopping his own work. And no you clearly didn't make everyone ugly. Just me. Now let's stop wasting everyone's time with this idiotic piece of non-news.

    HA! That Post article is great...the contestants they interviewed all have lived in Williamsburg for 2 - 3 months! Wow, talk about natives. I don't live in Brooklyn any more, but it was all jeans and sneakers and ball caps when I was growing up. I cannot even imagine the extent to which these people care so much what other people think of them! Just...WOW.

    OK. All I'm going to say is:

    I don't even know how to Photoshop. I suck at it. All those different brushes make me want to thrust my mouse through the computer screen. And even if I was good at it, do you really think I had time to Photoshop all 350 of the raw unsized pageant pictures?

    Also, I think it is funny that as evidence that I am an expert Photoshopper, you offer a series of professional pictures with studio backdrops. That is all.

  • Polemicist

    Thanks for the links. All the chicks are nasty.

  • Rach

    I couldn't care less about this nonsense, but one thing about this story irks me...

    You mean she flashed her VULVA, not vagina. Damnit, will anyone get their girl parts right?? Ever? It's like saying you saw a dude's urethra when you saw his penis.

    The outer, more visible and obvious part of a woman's genitalia is the fucking vulva.

  • matty

    This is stupid. Like really stupid. It's also an advert for colt 45. Thanks Jen, your work is done.

  • MatthewJC

    I'm so confused.

  • mishayesmisha

    I gotta say that picture of me sure is bad! Great job on the photoshopping, couldn't have done better myself.

    If anyone would like some LEGIT pictures, please visit the link below.

    Our lovely photographer Bek Anderson shot these, King and Queen included. For her info, or any other info, you may send an email to mrandmisswilliamsburg@gmail.com.

    As for the rigging of the vote: absolutely not. None needed! CJ was good and Lola was bad, end of story. CJ is not from New Jersey though boy does that make a catchy story. I didn't say any of those things either, but I will think twice the next time I just want to throw a fun party. To all the scandal-happy bloggers: thank you for raining on the parade. You would be less miserable if you all got a life.

  • Polemicist

    No picture of the winners?

  • kipper

    god what a stupid brat this Lola girl is the whole thing was a satire anyway and she is THE ONLY ONE taking it seriously aside from the idiotic bloggers that are trying to boost their readership by perpetuating a fake scandal.

    THE CONTEST IS OVER. IT WAS A SATIRE OF PEOPLE LIKE LOLA WHO'S DAY TO DAY IS NARCISSISM AND PASSING ASSHOLE JUDGMENTS ON OTHERS. PLEASE GET A LIFE, GOTHAMIST INCLUDED, WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO READ ABOUT SERRIOUSSSLYYYY

  • robingee

    heh!

  • matty

    Ol' girl is busted. Gross.

  • theLtrain

    Is the description of the girl taking her panties off from under the AA onsie while drinking PBR extremely hot to anyone else but me?

  • TheKlaus

    You guys are on the internet. You are 6 key strokes away from millions of them.

  • zodak

    this story is incomplete unless we get a link 2 a picture of the aformentioned vagina.

  • takethecanoli

    Pics of said vagina?
