DEPARTMENT OF DUBIOUS HONORS
or A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME
Was reading the local news and came across this item:
Kerri Ching crowned queen
Kerri Ching was crowned as the 2004 Narcissus Queen January 10 at the Neal Blaisdell Center Concert Hall.
Ching, a graduate of Kaiser High School and University of Hawai'i, is a major accounts coordinator at The Honolulu Advertiser. The princesses of the 55th Annual Narcissus Festival Queen Pageant are Rosalynn Chan, Sonja Tam, Julie Wong and Kristina Chang.
The event is sponsored by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawai'i.
Ms. Ching is a beautiful young lady but I wonder if being a "Narcissus Queen" might have a different connotation in a culture where Narcissus is better known as a fawning egotist than a flower.
