Miss Continental 2008 – Episode #44

I have not had the pleasure of attending a Continental pageant but of course if you are a regular follower of gay US pageantry than you know that it is consider the “pinnacle” of gay pageantry.  This week host Vicki Valentino talks about the amazing pageant Continental had this year on both the male and female side.

Miss Continental 2008 featuring Tulsi

 We want to offer our congratulations to the winner of Mr. Continental David “Freklz” Hunter and Miss Continental Tulsi.  We also can’t forget the Plus Queen winner for this year Mercedes and the 2008 Continental Elite winner Angel Sheridan.  Much success to all of the winners and their reign.

Listen to the show now on our website.

Simba R Hall joins us for Episode 43

Simba R Hall – Mr. International 2008

Simba R. Hall started his pageantry career in 2002 on the stage of 708 in Atlanta, GA competing for Mr. Liberty International.  With the crowd silent anticipating what to expect, he has transformed into what his name truly represents; the king of Prideland.  In such a short time, Simba has pioneered his way into the field of pageantry not to be forgotten by the people he touches with his vibrant smile, humble personality, charismatic talents, and eager determination.

Simba was attracted in the field of pageantry because of his desire to have a voice in the community and his love of performing on the stage.  He has shown to be diligent in all systems he has come in contact with.  Conquering Mr. Renaissance was the beginning of Simbaʼs dynamic career.  As Mr. Renaissance, Mr. Hall started the Kingʼs Alliance which united all the mister national titles together giving back to the community.  This cultivated Male Entertainers of National Systems (M.E.N.S.) Night.  All the male systems came together and each king performed one number along with an opening and a closing performed by all the current national kings including three of the top four (Continental, Entertainer of the Year and USA).

Next, Simba was appointed the emeritus of Mr. Global International.  Under his reign, the system grew to have seven competitive boys for the first year and Memphis took credit for hosting its first Male National pageant.  Simba went on to win Mr. Sweetheart International where he is now revered, adored, and serves as an official judge for the Nationals.  During his reign, Simba also went on to conquer the title of Mr. Continental.  Although this was the pentacle of his career, he continued to serve both titles with style and dignity.  Under his Continental reign, the system boasts growth from eight preliminaries to eighteen.

Simba also works outside the community as a professional opera singer.  In this line of study, he has sung in churches and recital halls across the US.  He just recently returned from Europe with the Atlanta Opera chorus where he toured singing Porgy and Bess.  He will return in October for three weeks to finish the tour.

Simba is reigning as Mr. International and continues to make a difference throughout the GBLT community.  While catapulting to new levels in the community, he merges his professional career by planning and working on his solo recital and debut live recording late this winter in Atlanta, GA.  

Savion Simpson Black joins us this week on Episode #42

Pageant Soup Podcast Show Number 42

After a short break for filming EOY and International Week 2008 (along with a few wedding for good measure) – we are back with another episode of the Pageant Soup Podcast Show.  Join Host Steve and Vicki as they talk with the current reigning Mr. Entertainer of the Year Savion Simpson black.  EOY 2008 has turned out to be one of the best year’s for the system and Vicki and Steve tell us why (or at least give their opinion why).  We also talk disappointments this year and the good turnout from the male side of the pageant. 

The show airs live on Thursday August 7, 2008 at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time.  Visit our home page at: www.clickclickexpose.com and look for the white button that says “Listen Live,” to check out the show.  This is a live call in show, so be sure to call in with your questions and comments – also the chat room will be open as well.  Can’t join us live?  The archive will be up later on tonight.  Just head to the home page and click on the green button that says “Listen Now.”

Introducing DuWanna Moore – our guest for Episode 38 July 3rd

My name is Duane Redmond and I create the illusion of DuWanna Moore.  I am currently employed  for the past 9 years as a Flight Attendant with Southwest Airlines based in Baltimore Maryland but moving to Sin City (Las Vegas).  I started my career in the art form of Female Impersonation over 15 years ago in Milwaukee Wisconsin….winning my first bar title as Miss Club 219.  Starting my competition stage in the USA System which we know now as Miss USofA…Winning Miss Wisconsin USofA my second year out.  From there capturing Miss Gay Great Lakes USofA, Miss Black Wisconsin, Miss WI EOY, Miss Greenbay America…taking on the title of what they call me “Wisconsin Royalty”. Upon moving from Wisconsin to San Francisco, I work for a short while there at the famous bars Kimo’s and Harvey’s.  Along with performing I was also doing cheerleading with Cheer San Francisco, traveling to several Pride Events across California, Chicago, Washington, DC, and having the honor of performing at the Gay Games in Amsterdam.  At this time I also started working for Southwest Airlines and was relocatd to Baltimore Maryland when the Flight Attendant/Pilot Based opened.

Taking time off from female impersonation to find my strengths and goals after moving to Baltimore, I focused on helping others with achieving there goals in anyway I could and finding myself and what I wanted.  Assisting dressing someone, dancing, props, traveling I learned more and more about this business and where I fit.  Learning at the time about the USA UNLIMITED FAMILY and knowing that I wanted to become MISS USA CLASSIQUE,  I had to get myself back into competition. I entered Miss Maryland America placing First Alternate my first year back and going on to Nationals placing 12th overall and winning Talent in my group.  While learning more about USA UNLIMITED SYSTEM and what I needed, I put myself out there my first year there in 2007 I was First Runner Up to Miss Farah McCray.  Learning from my mistakes and being persistent I came back this past year and won Miss USA CLASSIQUE 2008 (back where I started orginally).  You  can also catch me when not on the road producing my show at The Hippo in Baltimore MD, every 3rd Friday of the month where my show DuWanna Moore Presents…… brings in not only local but National entertainers.

And if there is anything I leave with New Girls in the system is DREAMS DO COME TRUE…you just have to STUDY, WATCH, LEARN and have PATIENCE…AS WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST BUT YOU CAN CREATE YOUR FUTURE.
