Miss USA Alyssa Campanella Rings New York Stock Exchange Closing Bell (PHOTOS)

Newly-crowned Miss USA Alyssa Campanella performed her first patriotic duty on Wednesday, ringing the New York Stock Exchange closing bell, pretending to answer phones and posing with traders, at least two of which look like they've never seen a real, live woman before.

For the occasion, the redhead picked a black-and-white floral printed frock and sandals. She accessorized with her tiara and sash.

Take a look at photos.

She rang the bell after they gave her a one-hour instructional demonstration of how to ring the bell with diagrams and a power point presentation.

She is quite beautiful. She also looks not dumb - her eyes do not look empty.

I thought they were gonna say she f***ed a solider or something. That wouldve really been a lot more patriotic in my opinion...

I don't think she'll ever win an international pageant. Lacks the legs and curves. Don't get me wrong, she is hot!
