Altadena's Susann Edmonds was named Queen of Pasadena's Doo-Dah Parade Sunday during tryouts at the American Legion bar.
With the selection of Edmonds, this year's Doo-Dah Parade will be Altadena-centric, as Alan Zorthian was named grand marshal last month.
A press release from the Lightbringer Project, sponsor of the Doo-Dah Parade, said:
Susann Edmonds was given the royal nod by a motley assembly of 50 judges and 250 spectators at the American Legion Bar in East Pasadena tonight. She got stiff competition from Mialaka Bonadara who incorporated four large pizzas into her performance and another contender who danced in burlesque style with pasties set to a punk rock tune. Susann, an Altadena resident, woowed judges with her singing enthusiasm and homemade cocktail elixirs.
The Doo-Dah Parade will be April 27 on Colorado Boulevard between Altadena Drive and San Gabriel Boulevard, starting at 11 AM.
