Miss’D America 2018 Pattaya Hart.

ATLANTIC CITY – The Miss’d America Pageant has announced it will keep the swimsuit competition when it crowns Miss’D America 2019 Sept. 22 at Borgata’s event center.

“It would be a shame not to have our audience enjoy the visual effect of how our bevy of beauties painstakingly take their time to conceal their goods,” said Co-executive Producer Richard Helfant. “It’s our hope that the audience ponders just where can they possibly put all that. When this year’s queen is crowned, not only does she receive a crown and sash, but he gets to take home the family jewels.”

The Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, which supports the economic, social and political advocacy of the GLBT and GLBT community in the greater Atlantic City region, sponsors the pageant.

The pageant will be held at The Event Center at Borgata 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, where The Great White Way will be well represented with lavish sets, incredible numbers from some of Broadway’s classic and latest shows.

Carson Kressley

Carson Cressley of the hit television show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy will return as pageant host.

Tickets are $35 and $65, and a $100 VIP ticket includes a complimentary drink and admission to the post-pageant meet and greet reception; $1,200 Diamond Tiara (table of eight) tickets are also available, which includes bottle service, a complimentary bottle of champagne and admission into the post-pageant meet and greet. The $100 and Diamond Tiara $1,200 tickets are only available by calling the group sales office at 609-317-1138.

The organization is also planning a Show Us Your Pride Parade 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 at Club Bourre, 201 S. New York Ave.
