Plus Teen USA is sponsoring a Teen Pageant in Dallas on October 23-25 2009. Registration information is below or you can see the full coverage at Plusteenusa.com

During the weekend of October 23-25, 2009, Dallas/Ft. Worth will play host to the Plus Teen USA, 2009 Pageant and Conference. Young ladies ages 13-19 who wear size 12 and up (junior size 13 and up), will gather together from all over the United States for fun, friendship, education, and inspiration to celebrate themselves in the skin they’re in, while discovering their full potential from the inside, out. Contestants will walk away with a renewed sense of self esteem, self awareness, self image, self acceptance… SELF. Only one of the contestants, however, will walk away with the title of Plus Teen USA, 2009, a beautiful crown, minimum $500.00 scholarship, and numerous other fantastic prizes.
Contestants, regardless of race, family structure, and past pageantry experience, will compete in Personal Interview, Casual Wear, and Formal Wear competitions, with five finalists answering a final question to determine who will become Plus Teen USA, 2009. Contestants may also enter optional Photogenic, Performance Talent and Non-Performance Talent Competitions.
No Swimsuit or Pageantry Experience is Required for This Competition.
Recognizing the fact that many of our plus size teens struggle with poor self images and low self-esteem, during our Conference, expert speakers will utilize candid approaches to address these, and other issues and concerns of our contestants in hopes that they will come to recognize and embrace their inner beauty. Furthermore, contestants will receive training in their opening routine, modeling , pageantry, hair, make-up, business interview, public speaking, and wardrobing.
Our Spokesperson, Featured Speaker, and Modeling Trainer, is none other than Sharon Quinn, the 6 foot, shaved-head beauty known as “The Original Runway Diva” who is infamous for her appearance on all three seasons of the Oxygen Network’s popular, “MoNique’s F.A.T. Chance”. Visit http://www.sharonquinn.com/ for more information and check out “The Original Runway Diva” strutting her stuff on the runway.
