Miss Congeniality?

This just in from the “something totally unexpected and ironic” files. Do you remember how the normally mild-mannered Canadians rioted in Vancouver after their beloved Canucks lost the Stanley Cup in June? Those of you whose world does not revolve around hockey will have to Google it. Anyway, among the first group charged is…wait for it…a former Miss Congeniality!

Apparently, the former winner of the Miss Congeniality Title and Royalty award at last year’s Miss Coastal Vancouver, is among 25 people facing a total of 61 charges stemming from the post-game riot. Not only was she allegedly among the mob that went crazy downtown, but also she is charged with breaking into a drugstore. She can’t really be faulted for that. She probably needed to fix her makeup.

I’ve always heard that Canadian beer has a far higher alcohol content than beer brewed in the states. OBVIOUSLY. 

She has said in a blog that she aspires to become an interior designer. Just a little unsolicited advice…don’t include those pictures of burning cars in your portfolio.

As ironic as this is, it’s simply another indication of the little differences between those of us in the States and our neighbors to the north. Here, pageant title winners stir up controversy by posing nude. In Canada, they torch a car after a hockey game.
