It didn’t surprise me that Renee Nobriga was named Miss Hawaii USA 2010 Monday night.

The Kahuku High School graduate also won “The Most Beautiful Leggs” (why there are two g’s I don’t know) contest at Pearl a few weeks ago, on Oct. 22. Her competition comprised fellow Miss Hawaii USA contestants who agreed to participate in the event as a fund raiser for The Samoa Relief Fund.

I was one of four judges at the Leggs contest, and the choice was easy and unanimous.

Renee’s next target is the Miss USA pageant, where the winner will move on to compete for the Miss Universe title. Hawaii has won the Miss USA title four times: Macee Wilson (1962), Tanya Wilson (1972), Judy Anderson (1978) and Brook Lee (1997). Brook also went on to win the Miss Universe competition.
