On Sunday night, Crystle Stewart became the second consecutive American contestant to trip and fall during the evening gown segment of the Miss Universe pageant.

“I think I’m going to have to take some walking classes,” Crystle Stewart told The Associated Press, just hours after her mishap was broadcast. “I would never have thought in a million years that I would fall down at the Miss Universe pageant… right after Miss USA fell last year.”

Fortunately for Stewart, her stumble was almost overshadowed last week by the stumbling of John McCain when asked about his stance on health insurance companies covering Viagra, but not birth control.

Crystle, who is attempting to get into acting and guest-starred on Days of Our Lives in June, is taking an optimistic approach to the misstep. She’s ready to move on.

“Things happen. I”m perfectly fine. I’m going to move back to New York and get on with my life.”
