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. A moment of silence and remembrance will be held for those affected by 9/11. Miss America 2020 contestants from Washington, D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will ride in the parade. The 2020 Miss America Competition has moved to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. The finals of the event will be held on Dec. 19, according to NBC. The Miss America Organization has not released information regarding the preliminary competitions or whether there will still be pageant week events including the “Show Us Your Shoes” parade. “Miss America 2019 Nia Franklin, will not be in attendance at this event,” said MAO spokesperson Mallory Hagan. “We hope it goes off without a hitch.” .

Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.
