Mood Television: Vanessa Williams' Miss America 1984 crowning (YouTube link)Yeah, I'm a little bit of a pageant dork and junkie, but loved finding the Vanessa Williams crowning moment. (And her morning after winning interview on the Today Show... another YouTube link)
And this coming weekend I'll get the opportunity to contribute to someone else's crowning moment, in a sense.
I'll be one of a half-dozen or so "celebrity judges" at the fifth annual Quest Pageant, run and funded by the Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team (APAIT), which takes place Saturday, October 7 at L.A.s Little Tokyo George & Sakaye Aratani/Japanese American Theatre. Frontiers Magazine, L.A., did a great story on the upcoming event.
The goals of the pageant: raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS, empower the transgender community, and work the crowd. Last year's pageant raised $21,000. Sabel Samone, will hand over her crown this Saturday night.
Tickets are $20 general/$40 VIP in advance... slightly higher at the door. Visit APAIT's site for more information. And thanks Noel for getting me hooked up with a great gig this weekend.
So excited!
