The 2007 Miss New York Chinese Pageant court met the press, sponsors and various guests at a celebration party on Aug. 14 at East Buffet Restaurant in Flushing.
Unlike last year’s pageant, when 2006 winner Sirena Wang and 1st runner-up Maggie Weng combined to capture seven out of a possible 11 titles, this year’s court was evenly divided with Stacy Wang being the only contestant to win more than one title (Miss New York Chinese 2007 and Miss Popularity). The results from the 2007 pageant, held Aug. 5 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, follow:
Miss New York Chinese: Stacy Wang (No.

Best Dress: Elaine Lu (No. 9)
Miss Best Talent: Cisy Liang (No. 3)

Stacy Wang, 18, will represent the Big Apple at the Miss Chinese International Pageant in Hong Kong in January 2008. A dancer and television hostess, she graduated from Stuyvesant High School and will head to Carnegie Mellon University in the fall. First runner-up Chen, 22, is a double major in accounting and finance at the University of Maryland at College Park, and was a prizewinner at the 2006 Miss Chinese Cosmos Pageant.
