A 25-year-old accountant from Connecticut with a secret glamorous side is the new Miss USA.
Erin Brady won the beauty pageant at the Planet Hollywood hotel-casino on Sunday night after strutting in a white sparkly gown and answering a question about the US Supreme Court's decision upholding widespread DNA tests. Asked if she agreed with the decision to swab the cheeks of arrestees, Brady said she did, since they had committed crimes after all.
Brady, who started competing in beauty pageants two year ago, gets the crown and a New York apartment for one year. She is expected to spend her title reign on a nationwide speaking tour and raising breast and ovarian cancer awareness, the organization's official cause.
As the stage emptied, Brady spoke about her commitment to fighting drug and alcohol abuse, which have marked her family, and her excitement at the prospect of telling her bosses at Prudential Financial she wasn't coming in tomorrow. Or ever again.
"They're going to be very upset to learn that I'm not coming," she said.
Asked what she was looking forward to, now that the competition is over, she described a routine of getting in her beauty sleep and hitting the gym.
Unlike the rival Miss America pageant, Miss USA doesn't ask its queens to perform a talent or choose a charity mission.
