Miss Universe and Miss USA: Hanging in NYC

They’re two of the most recognizable and beautiful ladies in the entire world and earlier today Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez and Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton were spotted doing a photo op in New York City.

The top-ranking pageant princesses looked to be having a marvelous time as they surveyed the Big Apple from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center.

In related news, there seems to be scandal once again in the pageant world, as Donald Trump has been accused of tweaking the Miss Universe contest.

According to Michael Schwandt, a choreographer of the last four pageants, "At all the shows, he pops in the day before the telecast ,and we line up all the girls in alphabetical order... he basically walks by and has an assistant that takes notes. And it's just kind of common knowledge that he picks six of the top 15 single-handedly."

"His reason for doing so, as he told me and he's told the girls before, is that he left it all up to preliminary judging in the past and some of the most beautiful women, in his opinion, were not in the top fifteen and he was kind of upset about that. And he decided that he would pick a certain number and let the judges pick a certain number."
