NEW ORLEANS (AP) β Miss USA Erin Brady can’t believe her yearlong reign is coming to an end while a new journey for one of the 51 women seeking to replace her is just beginning.
Brady, of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, relinquishes her crown Sunday when the 2014 pageant competition being held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, selects a new Miss USA. Preliminary competitions in swimsuit and evening gown are scheduled for Wednesday.
During her tenure, Brady said she’s worked hard to break stereotypes about pageants and the women who compete in them. A graduate of Central Connecticut State University in finance, Brady said after her reign ends she plans to return to New York and pursue a job that can use her knowledge to serve a global market.
