A pageant queen should have a jaw-dropping body -- but 25-year-old Lacey Wilson, the current Miss Massachusetts USA, prides herself on keeping it all in perspective. The California native, who's been modeling since childhood, insists that fitness has as much to do with how you feel as how you look. "One of the great things about Miss USA is that they promote a balanced lifestyle," she says. "I know all the pressure about body image. But this is about health. The women are fit, toned, and athletic." In other words, they're not sandwich-starved waifs. To keep her own body in shape, Wilson works out regularly (not shocking for a woman whose dad was an NHL pro and whose boyfriend is a Pawtucket Red Sox player). She raves about her gym, the Miss Fit Club in Wellesley, where she works out with her longtime trainer, Katie Boyd. "There are all body types, no pressure. It's a very motivating social environment," Wilson said on the day of our interview. "In fact, I haven't worked out at all today, and I'm not wearing any makeup." Catch her in a very different mode on April 18, when she'll compete for the Miss USA crown on NBC.
