ChineseIntroducing Your New Miss Traffic!
The Miss Traffic Saga has finally come to a close. The videos were posted, the people watched, and the votes have been tallied. Your second runner-up is the sassy Sharon Butler, with 428 votes. Your first runner-up is the spunky Roz Brown, who garnered 445 votes. And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
With an astounding 1,867 votes, your very own Miss Traffic…
Stefanie Perez!!!
The little latina that could, did, and she did it with flying colors. Picking up more votes than Roz and Sharon combined times two, the people of Los Angeles had no doubt who they wanted to represent their Metro system. What is it about Stefanie that makes her the obvious choice for Miss Traffic? Is it her mysterious smile? Her dry wit? Her undeniable love of missing traffic with Metro? Or maybe it’s a combination of all those things and more… that je ne c’est sais quoi that defines all women who capture our hearts and minds.
It’s not known whether Stefanie has received her prize package yet, but I know a lot of ladies and gentlemen (maybe even yours truly) who are very jealous. It’s not every day you get a free Metro t-shirt and props from an advertising photo shoot.
It seems to me that the Miss Traffic Contest was a rousing success. In a period of 6 days since the finalists were announced, 2,270 votes were cast, more than half of them for Stefanie. In contrast, Metro’s highly publicized Imagine campaign has a poll that has only received 708 votes since March 12th. And the Imagine blog has a poll that has only received 77 votes in the same time period. I guess the old adage is true: sex sells.
Things aren’t that sexy over in Austin, where you may recall they are holding a similar contest. But, a guy named Chris Stangland has submitted a video that might give Stefanie a run for the money if Miss Traffic goes national. Imagine what Chris could do if he was competing for a Metro t-shirt instead of a stupid iPhone and $500 cash.

Off topic, but just so you know, it’s je ne sais quoi, litterally “I don’t know what”.

hey Fred…
further being off topic.
That reminds me of this joke.
It was this white man who finds a dog in the street (hint: Yo quiero Taco Bell variety)
And he decides he wants to return it to the rightful owner, so he decides to write a poster. Problem was, he did not know how to spell this breed properly. He starts: Found sheewawa, and he has a feeling that’s wrong so he then writes cheeuaua, and he knows for sure that’s wrong so he decides to simply put….(drumroll please) Found Mexican dog!
And the hell of it is, I misspelled “literally”. Guess I should learn English first.
