And now a Williamsburg fairytale ... and there's even a crown!

Can you spot Mr. or Miss Williamsburg in this sea of cool?

Once upon a time, in a borough that's super-close to Manhattan there was a little Williamsburg [PHOTOS] hipster girl who fancied herself "incredibly cool" and "creative."

Then one day she heisted two 40s of Colt 45 from a local deli, got arrested and slapped with community service.

But she chanced to appear before a merciful judge. He took pity on the poor hipsterina, clad only in a gold lame American Apparel bikini top, and decided to allow her to choose her own service project.

(OK .. we don't really know whether she wore the below-mentioned bikini top in court, but it's funnier if she did. And yes, that's really her in the photo.)

This little hipsterina is one Misha Calvert, 25, and we first heard about her plight via the WilliamsburgCourier

So obviously someone who truly embodies Williamsburg is going to look just like Calvert, right?

We think some of the North Side giglio boys or the South Side Satmars might have a beef with that idea, but what do we know? Maybe they'll show up.


Here is Calvert's take on why this event constitutes community service:

“I pitched it as kind of a uniting force in the Williamsburg community. I’ve been talking to my friends about the level of apathy around here, so I figured, why not put together something about a subject a lot of us are most passionate about: ourselves ... Plus, I really like hot guys."

Wow, Williamsburg is already a better place.

The event goes down on Sept. 5 at 10 p.m. at the bar Supreme Trading. Anyone over 21 is eligible. If you think you're a candidate for the crown, e-mail mrandmisswilliamsburg@gmail.com

As much as this event annoys us, it does give us an excuse to revisit the superb YouTube effort, "The Hipster Olympics" inspired of course by the classic Monty Python sketch, "Upperclass Twit of the Year." See both below:

Not only can't I spot Mr. or Miss Williamsburg, I can't spot a sea of cool.
