PICTURE OF THE WEEK

January 3, 1999

Here is Miss International 1960, Stella Marquez, as Miss Colombia in the 1960 International Beauty Congress parade, in Long Beach, California.

Pageants such as Miss International, Miss Universe, and Miss America have used parades to build excitement for the "coming attraction" of the main event - the pageant competition itself.

Beauty School has several "coming attractions" lined up for you in the next few weeks of the 1999 new year. We will inaugurate 1999 with a new feature, the Miss International Seminar Series, and our Pantheon will grow with the induction a very special behind-the-scenes person from the Miss Universe Pageant.

For you Miss USA fans, we'll re-open the Isolation Booth and administer a new Pageant Aptitude Test (PAT). We'll also run our annual "Guess Miss USA" contest.
