NATIONAL PRESS RELEASE

Where have all the scholarship pageants gone? Until now, no event in the State of Florida has provided scholarships for continuing education to married pageant participants. T.L.C. Entertainment II, Inc. is poised to fill that void. Under the direction of its dynamic founder, Linnea Maloney, T.L.C. Entertainment II, Inc. will host the first ever Mrs. Florida Scholarship Pageant at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida on November 17, 2007.

Mrs. Maloney’s extensive background in pageantry began in 1988 when she was crowned Miss New York USA. In the 19+ years since winning that title, Mrs. Maloney has devoted countless hours to learning every aspect of pageantry and pageantry production, including working within every major television pageant system from Miss to Mrs. America. With this strong resume in hand, Mrs. Maloney is prepared to embark on her most ambitious and personal quest to date: to establish a national pageant event for married women which incorporates both the traditional pageant elements as well as an educational and charitable component. States Maloney:

"I love working with married women the most; learning about their families, their lives, their dreams. Just because a woman marries doesn't mean she should abandon the dream of participating in a pageant. In my role as Executive Director of numerous pageants throughout the past ten years, I always felt there was something missing from the standard beauty pageant experience. Sure, beauty will always be an element of pageantry, but there is so much more that pageant contestants desire beyond the standard prize package."

Maloney’s goal, to establish a pageant for future generations, embraces the dynamic of modern married women: women who take pride in their physical appearance, who seek to raise money for charity through a platform, who seek to raise their self esteem, and most importantly, who seek the opportunity to earn scholarship money to advance their own educational goals or the educational goals of some chosen designee.

The scholarship award for winning contestants shall increase as the amount of funds available increases. Eventually, the winning contestant or her designee shall be awarded a four (4) year scholarship to an accredited state college or university, and lesser scholarships shall be awarded to other event contestants.
