it could be you!
Or not. The City Reliquary (who is hosting this contest) writes:
Come watch the crowning of our “Miss G Train†LIVE at the City Reliquary backyard, with refreshments and entertainment on Nov. 19th 7-10PM
*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G*G* CONTESTANTS:
Thanks for your interest in entering the “Miss G Train Pageantâ€.In this contest, you can make up your own rules! Be creative in presenting yourself as the best candidate for “Miss G Trainâ€! Tell us what you think being “Miss G Train†is all about, and why you fit that description to a “Gâ€.
Please email your description along with a PHOTO to: missgtrain (at) cityreliquary (dot) org by Monday Nov. 16th for consideration.
Include a phone number we can reach you at prior to the competition. There is no minimum or maximum word count for your descriptive entry. Your descriptive entry will be read to the audience and judges during the pageant. Use your written statement to tell everyone why you should be wearing the sash on stage that night! (Portions of your submission may be used for media requests, but all personal information will remain private.)
Costume choice is up to you at the big event, and will be considered as part of your presentation. Ballroom Gown, Hipster Vogue, Commuter Chic, its up to YOU! Also, consider submitting some choice music to accompany your runway walk (you can bring an iPod cued to your music or send a request to our DJ in advance). You are in charge of your overall presentation, and the right soundtrack may just convince our celebrity judges that YOU make the best candidate!
FINALISTS will be informed of their status by 12:00 noon on Thursday Nov 19th.
Email in advance for any additional questions and GOOD LUCK, competition is RUNNING ON or close to ON SCHEDULE!*
Given the City Reliquary’s choice of “cover girl” for their solicitation I have to wonder what demographic they’re appealing to: nubile, newbie hotties/slummers or hardcore Crosstowners? I think Miss G train should sport the qualities of the subway line she will represent:
- Highly erratic
- Dysfunctional
- Capricious
- Weird
- Four cars short of a load
- And, on occasion, downright GROSS
Get busy fellow G trainers— and you know who you are!
Miss Heather
*Does this mean if I submit my entry a day late it will count?
P.S.: What about about a Mr. Crosstown Local? I can think of a number of candidates offhand— none of whom you would want to see naked. Methinks I’ll have to make this happen!

Miss G Train would have to be someone short who never goes to Manhattan, but occasionally connects with those who do.
richard k’s description is aimed at you but i may fall a close second. i only go to manhattan daily because my job is there. heather, how about it: Miss G train siamese twins. that’d be weird enough, right?
when i read this on gothamist, like i am sure many people, I thought of you *miss* heather. you are our grown up greenpoint transplant prom queen hero last year this year and next.
Uh, thanks— I think!
Tell me what you're thinking...
