Elyse Umemoto: My Friend's Bad!
In a press conference last night in Tacoma, Washington Elyse Umemoto took no blame for the release of several racy photos of herself on the Internet.
You can watch the video on TMZ, as woman that was crowned Miss Washington 2007 says the pictures were "stolen electronically" by someone she trusted.
Elyse Umemoto is not as innocent as she appears to be in this picture.
Umemoto added that the photos were shot over two years ago, as the Executive Director of the beauty pageant said the matter has been referred to authorities for investigation. We're sure they have nothing better to do.
Meanwhile, Umemoto will be on hand Saturday night to crown her successor. In the age of digital cameras, let's hope the folks in Washington choose someone who is smart enough not to pose for any risque photos at all.

Enlightenment=1. the act of enlightening. 2. the state of being enlightened: to live in spiritual enlightenment.
For those of you do not know any better, the individual/s who are "posing" as “Asians” and utilizing cuss words or derogatory words to describe their screen names as Fugly or Shogun or Dragon--are likely not Asian at all but racist individuals who perpetuate stereotypes by hiding behind a racist name and or inference. Trying to depict that they are --- Asian by trying to “sound like an Asian stereotype” they see on TV or immortalize in their own pea brained mind exposes the truth.
Finally, it does not matter if Elyse is only one quarter Asian or ½ Native American –what does race have to do with any of this?
Ladies and gentleman think real carefully, we live in a society that thrives on destroying, slandering and hurting other human beings. Do not allow the hatred, racism or the ignorance of a few to derail you, distract you or wound you. If you know Elyse Um
