Fort Lauderdale Woman Selected for Country’s First "Golden Pageant"
Elle Nash, age 64, will be competing in the Ms. Golden America Pageant on October 29, 2005. Ms. Nash is a personal fitness trainer to senior citizens in Florida and is a former "Miss Manhattan" from the 60's.
Naples, FL (PRWEB) August 4, 2005 -- Elle Nash of Fort Lauderdale has been
selected as a representative in the 2006 Ms. Golden America Pageant. She was
chosen from over 700 applicants. The pageant plans to have approximately 20
women compete from throughout the country for the title on October 29, 2005 at
the Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers, Florida.
With the purpose of
focusing on the beauty and accomplishments of women baby boomers, Ms. Golden
America, Inc. based in Naples, Florida developed this pageant much like the
“Miss” pageants people have watched for decades. Ms. Golden America is for women
age fifty and above and unlike its younger counterparts, there is no swimsuit
competition.
Ms. Nash, age 64, owns “Fit Over Fifty” and is a senior
personal trainer. She has two children and two grandchildren. Ms. Nash’s past
experiences include time working on Capital Hill in Washington, DC. Originally
from New York, Ms. Nash held the title of Miss Manhattan in the 60’s. When asked
how she feels about entering the pageant, Ms. Nash replied, “By entering this
pageant I feel I have come full circle. Life is so exciting at this age. We can
be anything we want. It takes determination, persistence and a little hard
work.”
Contestants will compete in five areas of competition that include
tennis wear, commercial appeal, written essay and the traditional evening gown
and on-stage question. Eligibility requirements are United States residency,
being at least 50 years of age by October 29, 2005 and of course, being a
female. Women may be single, married, divorced or widowed.
Ms. Golden
America will win an array of prizes, including a personal appearance contract, a
week for two to New Life Hiking Spa in Killington, Vermont and a diamond
solitaire necklace.
The pageant will be produced as a one-hour special
on the cable satellite network, SkyAngel. It is scheduled to air December 17,
2005 at 8:00 p.m.
