This weekend, she will be competing with approximately 100 other young women at SUNY Purchase for the title of Miss New York. If she wins, she'll be one step closer to becoming the next Miss USA.</p>

(Example: "What's your favorite <strong>Lou Reed</strong> album, and don't say <em>Transformer</em>, because that's so said."<br />

<p>We really hope that the talent portion of Ms. Hajek's performance involves a ten minute stand-up act. She's not the traditional pageant girl, but we could see her getting an NBC pilot next season as a consolation prize.</p>
