Mr. Sulu meets Nina Davuluri, newly crowned Miss America



While doing media rounds for my new YouTube program (at http://ohmyyy.gt/8y0VS8) I serendipitously met Nina Davuluri, newly crowned Miss America. She is the first winner of Indian descent and has endured some racism, which I lambasted in a recent FB post. Nina is gorgeous, delightful and well spoken--and a Star Trek fan. I am in love.

From the George Takei Facebook page

Comment from Alice Mitchell Reynolds: She was born in this country...how is that not American? And yes, she is stunning!

It looks like he is either really happy to see Miss America or he has a canoe in his left pocket. Maybe it's just a shadow. Live long and prosper George.

I thought your "love canoe" was hilarious but you confused me with the follow up comment. But then again, I'm easily confused.

Met George in the lobby of a hotel in Anchorage many years ago. He was charming, charismatic and just a really nice guy.
