Subject: any news on this or other new pageants for next year? Author: planning [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:19:45 09/26/12 Wed In reply to: Thanks Sheila S. & others who gave input! 's message, "Ms. Elite United States-America Woman of Achievement (40-59) and Elegance Division (60 +) Nationals are Nov. 11-12 in Los Angeles. No swimsuit--aerobic wear of YOUR choice only! Heavily weighted in interview & platform. They are accepting delegates for this year's competition at large and some are already applying to re present their states for the Fall 2013 Pageant. No age mentioned in the program book. Ms. is 24-39 and Elite is 40+. Fall Pageants!!

[> [> [> [> Subject: I don't know about any others, but sorry to say this one is not going to be ready for 2013; it's just not financially feasible. With the launch/growth of MWI and the return of Golden America, there may not be room in the "market" for it later, but we will keep our ears to the ground.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: remember that MWI is swimsuit and lots of ladies don't want that. Golden has no interview, so keep that in mind, too. Some of us want a different option, but thanks for the note.
