ABSTRACT In the last five years, news of various scandals in the pageant industry has inundated media outlets. These recent incidents are by no means outliers in the history of pageantry. This article ex- plores the significance of one of these controversies - the Rebekah Revels litigation, which stemmed from the disputed 2002 Miss North Carolina pageant. For context, this article first outlines allegations of wrongdoing in early pageants. It proceeds with an analysis of how the Revels liti- gation serves as an exemplar of the types of contract lawsuits that may continue to entangle pageant organizations in the future. Finally, the article provides an examination of the specific legal, economic, and sociocultural effects that the Revels litigation has had, and likely will continue to have, upon the business model of the pageant industry.

    Hard Rock to host September parade featuring some Miss America contestants VINCENT JACKSON Staff Writer ATLANTIC CITY — For people missing Miss America’s Show Us Your Shoes parade, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will help fill the void. The new, free, Celebrate America Parade, presented by the Hard Rock and sponsored by Pepsi, will take place on the Boardwalk 5 p.m. Sept. 7. The first weekend after Labor Day is the traditional Miss America competition weekend with the Show Us Your Shoes parade. The parade will span a 1.4-mile-long route, stepping off at Metropolitan Avenue and concluding at Arkansas Avenue. Spectators are encouraged to bring American flags, lawn chairs and blankets to watch the family friendly parade. “We couldn’t be more proud to show our support to the men and women who serve our country by coming together with the community to present a parade appreciating our nation’s heroes,” said Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, in a statement. “A hero can be in many forms, and our goal with this parade is to be inclusive to all of those who serve, protect and honor our country each and every day, and we’re happy to celebrate them during this parade.” There will be participants from all over the country. The parade’s grand marshal will be Miss America 1984 Suzette Charles, a singer, entertainer and Atlantic County native. The 90-minute parade honoring heroes will feature patriotic, 16 feet in height, cold-air parade balloons never seen on the Boardwalk, along with other floats and participants stemming from eight states including Washington D.C., Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
