Proof that Miss Virginia is one of us.

After making it into the Top 10, Miss Virginia Samantha Casey talks not about her humanitarian work, but HOCKEY!

It’s bittersweet, but we congratulate Miss Virginia USA and renowned Caps fan, Samantha Casey, for winning 2nd runner up in the Miss USA pageant tonight.  Samantha had all the beauty, intelligence, and poise one expects from a champion.  We Caps fans consider ourselves lucky to count her in our ranks.

(In the not-at-all unlikely case that Miss USA cannot perform her duties, the first runner up takes the crown, and Samantha will advance to Vice Miss USA.  And then comes coup d’état.)

Caps fans, please voice your congratulations for Sam in the comments below.  Let her know how proud we are of her.  While you’re at it, check out Love 146, the group Samantha helps to raise awareness for child sex trafficking.

And if you know of any other Caps fans are doing incredible stuff, like winning a Nobel prize or winning the Tour de France, let us know.  We’re here to support the fan community, and also we’re desperate for content.

So which lovely lady will you be trying to pick out on the Las Vegas stage? Umm, this one:

OMG AWESOME!! Well since Sam left two weeks ago to get ready for the pageant, she’s managed to take some extremely gorgeous photos, stir up some controversy, mingle with a few celebrities and grab a very favorable 16 to 1 odds of winning the whole damn thing. And since like every other Caps Blog, we’re struggling for material, we’ll tell show you more!

The “Controversy”

Upon releasing the glamour shots to the press, a mini-controversy arose when it was noted that a few of the contestants sported only an open dress shirt and panties. For example, The Daily 10 said of Sam, “There’s miss virginia, too sexy to button up her shirt.” OMG THE DRAMA!!!

What followed was a hoard of media attention that saw Miss Virginia do an interview on Inside Edition and have her picture pop up on E! News and a special segment on the Today Show:

As an artist, I find these glamour shots beautiful and tastefully done, but I’m sure not everyone agrees. What do you think?

The Celebrities

Sam’s managed to hang out with such celebrities like the Trump himself, Trace Adkins, Joan Rivers, the band Boys Like Girls and Curtis Stone. If you want to know more, we encourage you to read up on her experiences on her Twitter Account and check out her TwitPics. Send her a tweet, we bet she’ll respond.

Our Prediction

Tomorrow night, we think Samantha will finish in the Top 5 and make all of us proud. And, in a perfect world Miss Maryland, will be first runner-up and Miss South Dakota will be wearing something more than a potato sack during the Evening Gown part of the competition. Well, we encourage you all to watch the competition with us tomorrow night and have some fun. Good luck, Samantha!!
