2007 New Mexico Pride Pageant, "Creating Traditions"

The event is Albuquerque Pride’s 11th annual NM Pride Pageant entitled “Creating Traditions” which will be held in the beautiful Marriot Pyramid Hotel. Each year this has been proven to be an event worth not missing. The contestants who vie for the position of Mr. Miss, MsTer and Ms. Adult and Youth titleholders “bring it on”, and are sure to “WOW” the audience with talent, titillation, and tenacity.

On Friday, April 20th, 2007 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. the contestants will participate in NM Pride’s pageant preliminaries. They will present their Pridewear and also be interviewed by a distinguished panel of judges. This will all take place in the foyer of the Marriot Pyramid.

These two performers are past NM Pride titleholders who usually “bring down the house” when they perform. That evening the contestants will compete in on-stage interview, formal wear and talent. The evening will end with the Regal Pride Pageantry that will crown the newly selected NM Pride titleholders for 2007-
