On September 6, 2009, I competed in the Ms. America 2009-2010 pageant in Ontario, CA. There are four categories, that compete in this pageant includes personal interview, fitness wear, evening gown and on-stage question. There is an entry fee of $220.00 to enter the pageant.

I did not win because this is a fix pageant. I would also like to warn all women before entering pageants that require an entry fee, but little to none prizes to show for winners and/or runner-ups, please be aware that these types of pageants are usually scams. The same applies to modeling scams. If you have to dish out a lot of money up front with little or nothing to gain in return, then it is usually bad business and a scam. Please be aware.
