The city really has no obligations for allowing Chloe to use the title. It will just help her a lot as we continue the fund raising to have the Miss in her title. the city may donate if they choose. If you would like to meet with Chloe, she would be more than happy to arrange a time at your convenience. If you have any question, you may reach me by email or phone number 7606415175. Thank you so much for your help.

He asked if you could provide any information in writing from the Miss Teen California organization regarding protocol for competitors as far as using the title of a specific city (i.e., Miss Palm Desert) when that city does not hold an actual pageant/competition. In addition, what would be expected from the City if it granted permission for Miss Sharp to use the title of Miss Palm Desert? Thank you! -Mary P. LaCross Administrative Secretary for JOHN M.

The correct way to present yourself is: "Hello! I am representing YOUR TITLE HERE in the MISS CA USA 2013 Pageant" Or "Hello! I am representing YOUR TITLE HERE TEEN in the MISS CA TEEN USA 2013 Pageant" You may only present yourself as "MISS Your title here" if you receive written permission from that city or organizations mayor or owner. If you wish to become a "Miss" Please contact the K2 Productions Office and we will assist you further. You will receive your official pageant sash with your title when you check in at Pageant Weekend. However, some contestants choose to purchase their own online prior to the event for fundraising, etc. If you choose to do this please make sure your sash says only your Title. If you are teen it should say "YOUR TITLE HERE TEEN." Sashes should never say the word "MISS" on them. 0
