| Miss District of Columbia |
For our local emissaries to Sunday’s Miss America pageant (back in Atlantic City where it all started), it may be their first time parading around in a swimsuit on live national TV — but this ain’t their first rodeo.
Miss D.C. Bindhu Pamarthi was a finalist for Miss North Carolina twice — last year she was first runner-up — before claiming the Beltway crown in June. Desiree Williams, first runner-up in Virginia’s 2012 pageant, came back to win the title this year. And Miss Maryland Christina Denny won the coveted sash on her fourth try.
Think of all that pageantry as practice for what is still the most coveted title of them all.
“The stage fright actually hasn’t gone away,” Pamarthi told us Thursday. “At the same time, I definitely have developed a technique for how you deal with that anxiety. I know how to channel that into energy and charisma on stage.”
Pageant winners — like most competitors at the top of their game — are trained, not born. It takes years to master the nuances, so most Miss America contestants are seasoned pros. Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan vied once for Miss Alabama and twice for Miss New York before winning a state title.
