Sunny Days are here to stay across Oklahoma! Well, at least for the next year.
Last weekend, Sunny Day – a badass 26-year-old Oklahoma public school teacher – was crowned Miss Oklahoma at the annual pageant at some casino in Tulsa, finishing just ahead of runner-up Stormy Knight of Gotebo. Misty Morningstar of Beaver finished last.
Here’s the crowning moment:
In terms of human physical existence, 26 is young and awesome – the point in life when most of us reach our physical peak just before years of high-fat processed diets and alcohol abuse finally start to catch up with us. But in the pageant world, 26 is an ancient, fossilized age, usually reserved for people competing in fringe minor league events like Miss USA World America Planet Pageant or something like that.
In fact, Sunny was ineligible to compete in Miss Oklahoma until a few months ago, when the pageant raised the age limit from 25 to 28, guaranteeing her a chance to be the silverback of this year’s competition. Fortunately, outgoing Miss Oklahoma Megan Gold knows a good retirement community that Sunny can call home.
