Aug./Sept. 2012: The Book of McCausland

Chapter 4:  Well boys and girls.. my very first preliminary as the official MGM 2012 was awesome! Miss Metropolitan had five lovely contestants: Bella Rose, Kirstin Dubo, Trixie LaRue, Ginger Nicole, and Nadia Louis....... And the winner was Miss Trixie LaRue with Ginger Nicole earning first alternate honors. They are both now on their way to MGM 2013.

Miss Metropolitan

I will have to say that I was a little nervous in the beginning – trying to make sure that I was at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing! You would think that after 30 years I would know how things are run – but it’s very different when you’re wearing the MGM crown on your head.

We have secured a time and also a place to hold MGM 2013. The 40^th Anniversary pageant will be held in St. Louis, on April 11th, 12, and 13th, at MCCGSL (Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis).  The theme will be "SHOWGIRLS....40 And Still Fabulous!"

The preliminaries are just getting started and I would encourage everyone that wants to be a contestant in theses contests  to come prepared… so you can get your" golden ticket" to MGM 2013...NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. They do come true!

September 2012: MGMA Board Letter

Dear Contestants,

Time never stands still – the days of summer are quickly passing and fall is around the corner.  October will soon be here,  and with it, Miss Gay America 2013.  As contestants from around the country prepare, we are reminded of the resources required to compete at the national level.  We invite everyone to come on down to the Soulard Bastille (St. Louis MO) on Monday, September 24, where MGM 2012 Michelle McCausland will be appearing alongside other former MGM's, where a majority of the funds raised will be given to Michelle to assist her in her travels to Columbus OH for Miss Gay America. 

While the Miss Gay America pageant season is drawing to a close, the Miss Gay Missouri pageant season has just begun.  It was such a pleasure seeing Michelle administer the rules and regulations and then entertain at Miss Gay Metropolitan America 2013.  Congratulations to the two individuals who have qualified for the state level competition.  Four more preliminaries are scheduled, with more on the horizon.  The next preliminary will be Miss Spirit of St. Louis on October 28, 2012, followed by Miss City of Columbia on November 3, and Miss Gay Springfield November 4.  If anyone would like to learn more about promoting of a city preliminary, please feel free to contact any board member (links can be found at mgmpageantry.com). 

As the search for the next Miss Gay Missouri continues, we are pleased to also share details on the 40th annual Miss Gay Missouri, America!  This year, the annual event returns to St. Louis, and the host venue will be the Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis!  The facility is amazing, with a huge stage and seating for approximately 500.  Michelle has chosen a wonderfully fun theme, and we look forward to presenting the best of Missouri to all the fans of the art of female impersonation.  Mark your calendars for April 11, 12, and 13 and plan to attend "Showgirls: 40 and Still Fabulous", Miss Gay Missouri America 2013.  Host hotel information should be announced soon!
