We're still all aglow over Miss Michigan's crownworthy performance in the Miss America pageant last weekend, but we're also starting to get little distracted by former Miss Belgium Ann Van Elsen, who took the whole parading-around-half-naked-in-front-of-a-live-audience thing to its logical conclusion by appearing in this month's issue of Playboy in her native country. (She's also the second former Miss Belgium-turned-nude model that we've heard about over the past few months — does that count as a trend?) Apparently, she decided to pose nude on the condition that Playboy donate a sum of money to a radio station-sponsored charity in Brussels, meaning that we can all feel a little bit more noble about ogling her naked charms. After all, isn't that whole public service thing what being a beauty pageant queen is all about?
