Miss U.S.A. Dons Green Crown This Year

April 20, 2009 RSS Feed Print

All of the headlines from last night's Miss U.S.A. pageant focused on Miss California Carrie Prejean's gay marriage gaffe, which has managed to overshadow the actual victory of Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton. But here's a new addition to the pageant - as part of NBC's green week, the Miss U.S.A. crown that sits atop Dalton's hairsprayed pageant mane has gone green:

A southern Wisconsin company will create a custom-designed crown for Miss U.S.A.

Franklin-Wis.-based Diamond Nexus Labs is an online jewelry company known for its lab-created precious gemstones. The gemstones are all synthesized using environmentally friendly processes. There are no toxic byproducts or pollutants.

Hello Guys,

Trying for information about which are the best tooth whitening goods to purchase?

It is difficult to come across the up to date information as far as I can see. this place tells you one thing and a different person advises you something completely the opposite!

So, I thought the easiest thing to do is get practical feedback from you folks as you may have personal knowledge re these things.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance people.
