YOU CAN BE A WINNER!
NY Post: Ms. Subways 2004 Contest1 comments
As the official newspaper sponsor of the NYC Subway Centennial celebration, The Post is seeking Ms. Subways 2004. Are you a dynamic, articulate woman who is full of pride in New York?
If the answer is yes, then you could be the next Ms. Subways! Just answer the following questions (your answer can be up to 100 words for each of these questions):
- Why are you proud to be a New Yorker?
- Why do you think that you deserve to be Ms. Subways 2004?
- Why is the subway important to you?
and
- Are you willing to let us push you in front of a speeding train entering the station, so we can get some super photos and at least a week's worth of great headlines about either your plucky "miracle" survival ("with all NYers tearfully praising your can-do American spirit") or your tragic demise ("with all NYers tearfully mourning the loss of your beauty and your can-do American courage"), whichever occurs.
Always looking to boost circulation, these guys.
Grand Prize Winner "Ms. Subways 2004" will be crowned in October at Ellen's Stardust Diner [Owned by an real former Miss Subways from the 1950s. - GN] and will receive:
* The opportunity to represent the MTA in a "courtesy campaign"
* An appearance at the MTA Subway Centennial Event on October 27
* One year of free transportation on NYC transit subways and local buses
* Ms. Subways 2004 crown and sash
* New York Post home delivery for a year
Ohhhh, that last prize is a deal-breaker, I afraid. Lose that last prize, and, hell, even I'd apply!

I think the Saw Lady should be declared the new Ms Subways. You know, the girl that plays the musical saw in the subway, like at Times Square or at Union Square? She is the subway siren!
she advertises her website on her cart: www.sawlady.com
Check out her "blog" where she accounts what happens when she plays in the subway. Cool.
