This photo Manhattan Beach sunset was taken by Keelie Sheridan, a local student who represented the Miss America Organization and Brooklyn in 2009. This year, Keelie is participating in the scholarship competition at the state level, as Miss Greater New York City 2010.
We’re glad she took a break from studying (and her numerous other activities) to capture this beautiful early springtime sunset.
Miss Brooklyn Keelie Sheridan in Sheepshead Bay
Last week, we told you about Miss Brooklyn (and Manhattan Beach resident), Keelie Sheridan, shopping at the Nostrand Avenue Salvation Army store. That was after Brokelyn interviewed the contestant winner about her frugal ways.
This week, just a short while before she crowns this year’s winner, Keelie sat down with us to tell us about her life, as well to answer the burning question we all had after her ‘Miss Brokelyn’ interview: Is it really possible to be a struggling college student, gorgeous beauty pageant winner, broke actress, and live in Manhattan Beach? We already know the answer is ‘yes’ — but it was so much fun doing the investigation.

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.
