Beautiful Northern California
Saw an article on Eva Longoria which reminded me of one Ws game when she sat two seats over when she was dating Tony Parker. I mean wow, she was/is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen (er…2after wifey).

what's yours ?
 
I once saw Stephanie Seymour at a CVS in Greenwich, CT, and she was unsurprisingly stunning. Probably around 2007.
 
Olivia Culpo, Miss Universe 2012. Kind of a "cheat" though, in that she was frequently doing PR and events in Rhode Island afterward, because her father owned a restaurant chain.
 
Unfortunately, this wasn't me - it was a buddy of mine. He was at a youth hockey tournament in metro Detroit, as was Elle Macpherson, whose son was playing. He got a picture with her, and said she was very nice about it.
 
My daughter's teacher was in the Miss Universe pageant in the early 2000s.

By my eyes, she hasn't aged a day since.
 
I covered the Kings in the Jerry Buss Era. First off, Mary Hart (who now sits behind the plate at Dodgers games) was incredible. She always stopped by the press box to say hi to the PR guy. But when Buss brought in the Playboy crowd, my all-timer was Terri Welles, who married Kings player Charlie Simmer. She was Playmate of the Year in 1981. Saw her in one movie, "The Firm." A Tom Cruise thriller. She was dancing with Gene Hackman at a reggae bar in the Caribbean.

I've bumped up against (not literally) a beauty queen or two in my day. A real live Miss Universe and two or three runners-up for Miss South Carolina. All were just as nice as they could be, but it took some getting used to ... one of the latter, she had a way of looking at you very steadily, and it made me nervous as all get-out.
 
I worked with a woman whose sister was Miss California in the Miss America pageant in 1991. Met her a few times and she was gorgeous and also very nice.

I can't find photos from then, but here's a more recent one
