» FULL ACCESS: MISS SUNSET PLACE USA & TEEN USA

On a beautiful February afternoon in South Miami. Twenty one delegates were on The Road to Hollywood as it was Sunset Place USA time. Underneath the palms this is a unique pageant as it is only one of two outdoor venues on the circuit. Luckily the rain stayed away during most of the rehearsal but umbrellas were the accessory of the day as it was a wet walk to dinner.

Luckily The Martina Bar at Sunset Place was gracious hosts as an al fresco dinner quickly moved locations. But as great hosts the delegates didn’t miss a beat as it was a great time to have fun and make new pageant friends. Then it was back to our pageant home, The Make Up Store, as the skies cleared and the perfect evening awaited. With a crowd estimated at over 500 the pageant started promptly at 6:30pm and a competitive pageant awaited.

Next up is our sojourn to Hialeah for the first ever Miss Hialeah USA Pageant under the direction of our friends at Miss Miami Tropics. See everyone this weekend in West Miami Dade!
