Natalie Ann Pack, UC Irvine Student, Wins Miss California 2012 Title (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

If you can believe it, this blonde bombshell describes herself as a "total tomboy" who's stunned to win her first-ever pageant. The kicker? She entered it on a whim.

Natalie Ann Pack was crowned the new Miss California USA on Sunday's competition after wowing the judges with her poise while answering these two questions:

• If you could be any reality TV host, who would you be?
• What advice would you give to the girls next year entering the pageant?

In an interview with KCAL9, Pack admits, "Getting in touch with my girly side" was one of the toughest challenges she faced when preparing for the pageant. Now that it's over, she says, "I haven't even been able to register it yet. It's going to take at least a week."

The 22 year-old UC Irvine student entered the contest as "Miss Hoag Hospital" because she works at the Orange County medical center as an intern, where she's putting her experience toward a medical school application.

Here's hoping she follows in the footsteps of last year's Miss California, who won the top prize at the 2011 Miss USA contest. Of course, getting into medical school is no mean feat, either.

She was on America's Next Top Model and was stunning. Tyra never did a make over on her. She was selected to go to Brazil, but respectively came in 6th place. This makeover is gorgeous. I'm rooting for, again. Congrats Natalie!

“I personally believe, that U.S. Americans,
are unable to do so,
because uh,
some, people out there, in our nation don’t have maps.
and uh…
I believe that our education like such as in South Africa,
and the Iraq,
everywhere like such as…
and, I believe they should uh,
our education over here,
in the U.S. should help the U.S.
or should help South Africa,
and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future,
for us.”

A Doctor looking like that is may end up in the media as a medical consultant and also make tons of money (independently). Hope she has the "heart" to care for and help her patients, especially the needy people. This is always my request to Doctors in my family and those who are my friends.

And what is this comment based off of? Did you go to school with her? Do you personally know her?

Or are you just basing your comment off of what you see?

I guess I don't get the relevance. Is a 22 y/o saying "I'm a tomboy" code for "I'm gay"?
