Miss America hopeful Leigh-Taylor Smith, who landed the 3rd runner up spot in the competition while representing New York, isn't bitter about losing. The Brooklyn Paper, whose eyes have been fixed on her bikini for a year, talked to the pageantista on the phone. She told them the results weren't fixed, and said "It is fair. I performed as well as I could. I left it all up there on the stage. For me, it was just very exciting to get into the final round.” She holds the Miss New York title through June, and says she'll be taking her $18K scholarship over to FIT or Parsons. But the real question here is: did she see BP editor Gersh Kuntzman naked?
