Sorta Food-Related: Miss America in DC to Speak on Eating Disorders
Anorexic beauty queens as a topic is only tangentially related to food. More like unfood.
But if you’re in DC today and want to check out a formerly anorexic, currently blonde beauty queen talking about what it’s like to be a formerly anorexic, currently blonde beauty queen, American University invites you to come gawk at listen to the current Miss America opine tonight on the school’s main campus:
Miss America 2008: Kirsten Haglund
8:30 p.m., Ward 1
Kirsten Haglund, Miss America 2008, will be speaking about overcoming an eating disorder and redefining the Miss America crown. The event is part of Body Image Awareness Week. AU ID is required for free admission. Non-AU admission is $5.
Sponsor: Wellness Center, Student Health Center, Office of the Dean of
Students, Women’s Initiative, KPU
Contact: Alan Duffy, x3276
For what it’s worth, Haglund’s sun-cluttered MySpace page lists her as “single.” Perhaps she’s looking for the right guy to make her champagne wishes and caviar dreams come true.
