Miss Optometry of 1956
In line with Alex's ceaseless quest for oddball beauty queens, may we present Kipp Hamilton, who actually had a career. But she must have misremembered this honor, for all sources quote Kipp as claiming it happened in the year 1953. But such data has become easier to verify or disprove since Google added its newspaper archives.
Original story here.

Shouldn't she be wearing glasses?

That's a great observation!

She appears to be wearing a typical chest support garment for the era. I'd be afraid of poking my eye out.

An actress named Kipp Hamilton has an entry at IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358002/?ref_=tt_cl_t9
She had guest roles on Bewitched and The Man From UNCLE among her many credits. In the trivia section, it mentioned she was the sister-in-law of Carol Burnett. She died at the tender age of 45 in Beverly Hills after battling breast cancer. (Complications from implants a factor, maybe?)
