    Did you know Miss Brooklyn lives in Manhattan Beach? Yup, and the Brooklyn beauty is a real cheapskate, too. Apparently, the 23-year-old student needs to scrimp and save every penny, which is the reason she got involved in pageantry in the first place.  She’s earned around $1000  in scholarships and garnered sponsors that keep her well-stocked.

    Miss Brooklyn, a.k.a. Keelie Sheridan, gave a Q&A to Brokelyn about wearing the tiara, saving money by shopping at Sheepshead Bay’s Salvation Army, and how to get involved with pageantry.

      Last year, I tried to reach the talented Ms. Brooklyn for an interview, but it was impossible to locate her. Maybe, we can get ahold of her once her year's reign is done and she is not as busy.

      I wouldn't call her a cheepskate since she's a student trying to save money. A cheepskate is someone that tries to get away with not paying as much when they can clearly afford to. And what's wrong with Miss Brooklyn supporting the local Sheepshead Bay area shops and Salvation Army anyway?

      Well, I certainly didn't mean it in a negative way. More of a cute way. I shop at the Salvation Army (when I can find something I want, anyway), and I'm certainly an advocate of saving money.

      Believe me, this was meant to be a rah-rah piece. Not a sneering post. Sorry if that didn't come across.

      Thanks for the blog, Sheepshead Bites!

      Ray, I'm so sorry to hear that you tried to contact me and couldn't get a hold of me! I would gladly have given an interview then, and I'm happy to now! I'm still Miss Brooklyn for a few weeks, so for what it's worth, I'd be more than pleased to do an interview for you before passing on the crown! You can contact me through the Miss Brooklyn director, Kim Thomas, at missbrooklynorg@gmail.com.

      Oops, I meant to be responding to Ned's comment.

      Sorry Ray, the above comment was meant to be said about Ned, who would undoubtedly appreciate it. I'm rewriting it in its rightful place.

      Gee, if I didn't know any better I'd swear that you invented tongue-in-cheek style journalistic prose.

      Yes, the borough president's office was not helpful, as usual. I will write to Ms. Thomas.

      Thank you for the clarification, 'cuz I was like, “???”

      Sorry Ray. The comment is now where it belongs. I hope Ned likes it.

      I must have accidentally scrolled to where your comment was.
