It is wildly popular in the Land of Smiles and not only does the venue it is held in sell out, the pageant finals get national TV coverage in addition to drawing interest from various international news networks
This year's edition of the Miss International Queen pageant will be conducted from October 31 to November 4 at Tiffany's Show Theater in Pattaya. The competition is open to transgender and transsexual people from around the world aged 18-36 and will allow them to show off their beauty and intelligence.
The Miss International Queen pageant is organized each year to help improve cultural acceptance of transgender people and create human rights awareness, promoting Pattaya as a center for entertainment and tourism and as a charity event to raise money for the Royal AIDS Foundation.
Of course, like I've done on TransGriot for several years now, I'll keep you posted on who won.

The 31st annual Miss Continental Pageant finals were held Monday night at the Vic Theater in Chicago and Alexis Gabrielle Sherrington was crowned the winner.
Alexis is another one of the girls who had come close in past pageants but just missed taking the crown. She was the 2nd Alternate in 2004-05.
The 1st Alternate for the 2011-12 edition of Miss Continental was Fontasia L'amour with the 2nd Alternate spot being claimed by Tiffany Hunter. The other finalists were Stasha Sanchez and Jennifer St. Cartier.
The Miss Continental pageant occurs every Labor Day weekend and it is not only a hot ticket, but is one of the prestigious titles in the pageant world. One of the former winners of this pageant was actress Candis Cayne, who took the 2001-02 title back to New York and has since found mainstream success as an actress.
Congrats to Alexis Gabrielle Sherrington, Miss Continental 2011-2012.
