The search for winners begins in the backyards of Beverly Hills but has recently been expanded to encompass submissions from around the globe. Results of the pageant capitalize on the audience participation via iLive.com. The contestants are judged in three areas of competition: Sportswear, Swimsuit, and Evening Gown. However, the Miss Beverly Hills Pageant goes beyond beauty. The judges also focus on selecting the participant who best represents the history and heritage of the Beverly Hills community. Individuals and companies participate by sponsoring and judging the events.
Marshall says her tolerance for bratty 90210-ers is finite at best: “We get a lot of rich girls that have never had to work a day in their lives and they think they can just walk in to The Beverly Hills Beauty Pageant and buy a ribbon and become a pageant queen! Uh-uh. We insist on the girls working with us at iLive from planning their presentation photos, costumes and commitment…this isn’t a scam, this isn’t a girl scouts contest around a fire where everyone is patted on the back for just participating! Our contest is serious with serious ramifications and our winners receive real support, prizes and introductions to real agencies and product endorsements sometimes follow.” Where did all this high mindedness about pageanting come from, you ask? Understanding Jean Marshall as a person and businesswoman provides some answers…
In the oh so glittery city of fake noses, lipo-bodies and the scam artist who make young girls feel they need those things to succeed in the competitive business of modeling, Marshall warns, “Be careful what you wish for you just might get it!”
Ms. Marshall, you see, has also positioned herself to be the first true guidance counselor for young models in the making. Marshall takes life lessons and mixes in a dash of traditional finishing school techniques, psychology, nutrition and image consultation and came up with a workshop that is pretty revolutionary-- young girls will know what is expected of them as models, what is inappropriate and illicit, and they’ll be able to handle their careers better. She guarantees it!
She trains individuals in the basic skills of modeling, warns them of fraudulent scams and bestows the tools they’ll need to maintain integrity and self-esteem in the critical and often destructive world of high fashion. Jean Marshall prepares girls for modeling and, in the end, they are better prepared for life itself.
