{Miss America first of Indian heritage}
The Miss America pageant has crowned its first winner of Indian heritage.Moments after winning the 2014 crown, 24-year-old Nina Davuluri described how delighted she is that the nearly century-old pageant sees beauty and talent of all kinds.“I'm so happy this organization has embraced diversity,” she said in her first press conference after winning the crown in Atlantic City, New Jersey's Boardwalk Hall. “I'm thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America.” Miss New York Nina Davuluri walks down the runway after winning the the Miss America 2014 pageant, Sunday. (AP-Yonhap News)The 24-year-old Miss New York's talent routine was a Bollywood fusion dance.The native of Syracuse, New York wants to be a doctor, and is applying to medical school,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Handbags[/url], with the help of a $50,000 ((euro) 38,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Handbags Outlet[/url],000) scholarship she won as part of the pageant title.She is the second consecutive Miss New York to win the Miss America crown, succeeding Mallory Hagan, who was selected in January when the pageant was still held in Las Vegas. The Miss America Organization will compensate Hagan for her shortened reign.Davuluri's victory led to some negative comments on Twitter from users upset that someone of Indian heritage had won the pageant. She brushed those aside.“I have to rise above that,” she said. “I always viewed myself as first and foremost American.”Her grandmother told The Associated Press that she cried when she saw the news on television.I am very,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]michael kors canada[/url], very, happy for the girl. It was her dream and it was fulfilled,” 89-year-old V. Koteshwaramma said by phone from her home in the city of Vijaywada, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. She said there are numerous doctors in the family, both in the U.S. and India, and that if her granddaughter wants to become one “I am sure she will do it.”Davuluri had planned to go to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights Monday afternoon. But pageant officials canceled that visit after learning that Gov. Chris Christie was making cabinet officials available at that same time to business owners victimized by the fire.Davuluri will visit at an unscheduled future date, pageant officials said early Monday.She will still make the traditional frolic in the Atlantic City surf Monday morning.Her first runner-up was Miss California, Crystal Lee. Other top 5 finalists included Miss Minnesota, Rebecca Yeh; Miss Florida, Myrrhanda Jones, and Miss Oklahoma, Kelsey Griswold.In the run-up to the pageant, much attention was given to Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, the Army sergeant who was believed to have been the first Miss America contestant to openly display tattoos. She has the Serenity Prayer on her rib cage, and a smaller military insignia on the back of one shoulder.Vail won a nationwide “America's Choice” vote to advance as a semi-finalist, but failed to make it into the Top 10.In a Twitter message Sunday before the finals began, Vail wrote: “Win or not tonight, I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have empowered women. I have opened eyes.”Jones made it into the top 5 wearing a bedazzled knee brace. She tore knee ligaments Thursday while rehearsing her baton-twirling routine, which she executed flawlessly Sunday night.The pageant had pitted 53 contestants _ one from each state, plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands _ in swimsuit, evening gown,[url=http://www.michael-korshandbags-outlet.org]Michael Kors Outlet[/url], talent and interview competitions.
