An Interview with "Mr and Miss Williamsburg" Pageant Creator

MishaCalvert.jpg

A few months ago, 25-year old Williamsburg resident Misha Calvert was arrested for stealing two 40-ounce bottles of Colt 45 from a local bodega. After being sentenced to the standard amount of community service, she managed to pitch the idea of a “Mr and Miss Williamsburg” contest to the judge, who approved to make the contest part of her community service. Her hope is that such a contest will counter apathy and create a uniting force in the Williamsburg community, because after all, she figured “why not put together something about a subject a lot of us are most passionate about: ourselves”.
At first glance, this all seemed a bit fishy. Colt 45? Hipsters? A beauty pageant? Viral marketing…cased closed. But strangely, Misha denied any and all rumors of any sinister marketing ploy behind the show. After the jump, see the gchat interview complete with entry requirements, her denial of a viral marketing ploy, and how you can sleep your way into the title of Mr and Miss Williamsburg 2008.
The contest will be held September 5th at 10 p.m., at Supreme Trading (213 N. 8th Street). Visit the pageant’s page on Going or join the event page on Facebook for more information. Want to enter? Email mrandmisswilliamsburg@gmail.com!

    I know the interview was through a gmail chat window, but, seriously…
    SPELL OUT THE WORD YOU, YOU FUCKING FROG’S PENIS!
    It was cute when Prince did it, and only when Prince did it. It’s been like 30 years. What the hell is wrong with you?

  2. ward says:

    lousy fucking bitch-cunt

  3. kimmie says:

    I am sorry did the chk not clear that week from mommy and daddy… poor little misha and her hot pants. i hope you fall onto the L train tracks.

  4. hammond's organ says:

    According to reliable sources at Gothamist, this is a sham and is just a publicity stunt. Thank god, what a miscarriage of justice this would be.

  5. Brian Ries says:

    But she promised.
    “I don’t know what kind of evidence one could provide to support this, but i cross my heart and triple swear this is not a marketing campaign (for colt 45)”.

  6. Lexicon says:

    Her hand to breast ratio is incredible.

  7. pbr says:

    u know she got the crabs

  8. mfs says:

    I have run a court-ordered community service program in NYC and I assure you that no judge would agree to this as a condition of sentencing, let alone hear the defendant out about such a proposal in a courtroom.

  9. josh says:

    good thing for her she’s running the thing and not participating in it

  10. GG says:

    This is ridiculously stupid. I can’t wait till all the yuppie towers are finished, even though I hate the yuppies just as much.

  11. Diana says:

    Oh I get it now. This is a viral campaign for American Apparel under the guise of a Colt 45 viral. I hope your eggs fall out Misha.

  12. sam says:

    you guys need to chill out. whats it to you if she organizes a beauty pageant- dont go. and in terms of viral marketing who here hasnt indulged in a little colt 45 while greasing up your legs before squeezing them into your american apparel slacks.

  13. As a professional hipster scout, I have assessed this message board and concluded that everyone who submitted a negative comment about this event is actually a hipster of the maximum caliber and therefore, the most qualified candidates for the Crown. Furthermore, I recommend that they should all be automatically entered into the competition and forced to act out scenes from Blue Velvet.

  14. ray says:

    I had to come back here to see those faceless tits again.
    the power of sunglasses…its great isn’t it?
