» Feature Writer Megan Drummond - I'm not sure about this one

In response to I'm not sure about this one posted by jillbrowne:


I've been in the Ms. Wheelchair pageant twice. Both times, it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't trade for anything.

It is a very different kind of pageant. Pageant doesn't really even seem to be the right word. It doesn't focus on beauty at all. It focuses on advocacy, acheivements and articulation. It's true that most of the contestants get made up and wear formal dresses but that's mostly because, in my opinion, every girl likes to get dressed up once in a while.

I will probably, at some point, enter it again. I would like to experience winning and traveling around the region speaking on disability issues.
