  • OMG! She's the perfect woman! She's a chemist, helped design and build a solar powered car, a pianist specializing in Chopin, a crack shot with a pistol, an advanced scuba diver (nitrox), she's a pilot and she can speak Russian, Spanish and Japanese. To top all that off, she's drop dead gorgeous and wound up as Miss Massachusetts in '04.

    Oh man. I'm so infatuated with this woman now. Until just now, I was under the impression that perfection was impossible. Now I have to re-evaluate everything.

  • God, she's hot! She's a scientist, too?

  • WOW she doesn't have a ring on the finger.......Marry me?!

  • the hand wave is complicated too. you straighten your arm, then wiggle your elbow from side to side, then wrist wave, wrist wave, wrist wave, its kind of like a queen elizabeth hand wave when she's waving to the crowd as the carriage goes by. there is a lot of little complicated bits to the whole thing. that's just how you do the wave.

  • she is absolutely correct! that IS HOW YOU DO A MISS AMERICA walk! I learned how to do one myself and it is very complicated, actually. I took two workshops during my second pageant back in 1997. good job Erika! peace all xoxo Starre36

  • @ClearMetalVoltar most smart people are goodlooking

  • @JixMa most scientist are goodlooking

  • That's the most gorgeous two seconds of film I've ever witnessed. Somebody ought to fund a detailed scientific study to document the most visually fascinating mechanical components of human female locomotion. Anybody got the other twenty seconds of that swimsuit competition? I'll pay good money :-)

  • wow i thought they walked with a trained grace but didnt realize it was so complicated

  • @wasdom01 lol

  • Dammit! They forgot to show us the swimsuit walk!

  • Oh GOD I love science! Now, please excuse me. I feel a sudden and urgent need to conduct an experiment on myself and I'm gonna need some privacy in the 'lab' for the next thirty minutes (seconds) ;-).
