Science Goddess

I was also in a beauty pageant, Miss Guam World 1982–not thinking I was all that, you know, just thought it’d be a good experience, and if I won, I would get to travel! (in 1980, our girl, Miss Guam, Kimberly Santos -whose legs started at her ears- actually won the World pageant after Miss Belgium had to step down after 18 hours–nude pics, as you can guess.).  Here is the embarrassing proof of my stint as a contestant, wearing the ugliest dress on the planet (not my choice, aka grace under adverse conditions.  I only put here the swimsuit picture to redeem the dress picture):

I was a finalist and Most Photogenic, and apparently just shy of Miss Congeniality.
