Do you recognize this woman? Well, the sash is probably a giveaway. This is the winner of the Miss USA contest, Kristen Dalton.She was the winner and therefore was neither asked nor answered a question by Perez Hilton at the contest. Here she is yesterday at the Nevada Cancer Institute with Dr. Karen Milligan, left, drawing attention to a crucial resource in the community.

And, this morning at 11, Miss USA is kicking off National Ice Cream Month. And, talk about using your celebrity to bring attention to a cause few knew about, I truly had no idea that there was a National Ice Cream Month until this morning. And, now I am an informed citizen, thanks to Miss USA. According to the press release:

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month. He believed Americans loved enjoying this fun and nutritious food.

Do you think she checked with doctors at NCI on if they thought the nutritional value of this food merited a month of celebrating ice cream? If you want meet Miss USA, the celebration of ice cream event takes place at Serendipity 3's patio at Caesars Palace.

What an odd job being Miss USA must seriously be.
