mr and mrs williamsburg

Need I say more? I mean, the title of this post really says it all. This friday, 9/5/08 the mr and mrs williamsburg pageant will commence at supreme trading, 10pm sharp. Who will have the finest beard in all the ‘burg? Who will have the best romper in the streetwear competition? we shall all see this friday…

from going:

Our program is designed to be an excellent vehicle for advancing your social and romantic agendas. As a contestant, you will be judged in three equal categories including Personal Interview, Streetwear, and Talent. While performance-oriented talent is not a requirement, we ask that you have at least one demonstrable skill that you can showcase to the judges.

To nominate someone please contact mrandmisswilliamsburg@gmail

Freewilliamsburg has some good info on the event’s celebrity guest judges, as well as an interview with the founder of the pageant.

UPDATE: photos from the pageant can be found here. Also, a rundown of what went on at the pageant including stories of no show contestants and a rigged application process can be found here. Not to mention the fact that mrs. williamsburg is not from williamsburg. Oh yeah, and my pre-pageant musings about the elaborate backstory for the pageant being a marketing scheme? correct. 

Thanks to the blog, “stuff hipsters don’t like” for the comprehensive recap and photos.
