Mess California

Forget World Peace, Let’s Just Add Up Correctly

An accounting mix-up led to the wrong woman being crowned Miss California USA. Christina Silva, 24, was declared the winner of the annual state beauty pageant, but she gave up the title to Raquel Beezely, who was originally named second runner-up. Beezely, 21, will represent the state at Miss USA next April. Silva has hired a lawyer and is weighing her legal options.
