Omarosa Manigault Stallworth to Host the Miss District of Columbia USA Pageant

Saturday November 27, 2004 at 7 PM.

While a student at Howard University Omarosa, now of Apprentice fame, was a finalist in the Miss District of Columbia pageant. She now returns to the pageant this Saturday, as a host. Omarosa, known for her ability to hold her own against Donald Trump on his NBC hit show the Apprentice, has been involved in the Miss USA pageant system for many years.

“As host of the this year’s pageant I hope to bring a vast knowledge of pageantry as well as a very unique and entertaining perspective to the event”, says Omarosa who first became involved in the pageant as a contestant, after getting married to husband Aaron she volunteered for Director Althea Smith, and later she became a pageant coach for titleholders in preparation for their appearance at the nationals.

The delegates will compete in three categories including; swimsuit, evening gown and interviewing. The Washington Redskinettes and the DC Show Biz Dancers are featured performers in this year’s competition. The winner of the Miss DC USA will go on to compete for the title of Miss USA in March 2005.

Omarosa is very excited that the Trump organization has decided to bring the nationals to our area. “The winner of the DC pageant will be going just up the road to Baltimore to compete for the title of Miss USA. With all of her hometown support we could have another winner like Shauntay Hinton, Miss USA 2001.”

Since Omarosa’s first pageant she has had an insatiable passion for pageantry. She has competed successfully in all major pageant systems including Miss USA, Miss America, Mrs. America and Mrs. United States.
