Pageant News Bureau - Shana Prevette

"Does the title make the lady, or does the lady make the title?" We hear pageant people arguing about that all the time, and so do you.

Maybe the argument never ends because both sides are right -- sometimes. There are women who aren't worthy of the banner they wear, but there are also titles so trivial that they wouldn't do anything even for a goddess.

But now and then, when a spectacular lady wins a terrific title, the match is perfect. It's as if they were destined to be together.

Meet the spectacular lady. Her name is Shana Prevette. She's a 23-year-old North Carolina model, a "shy Southern girl" who has only been in the glamour business about a year but has already traveled widely and made a name for herself in swimsuit circles. (When she's in a swimsuit, everybody seems to be circling.)

Meet the terrific title. Miss Trump Style International. Yes, that Trump. The legendary Donald, the deal-maker, the Croesus of the 21st century, has actually put his name on a pageant title. Not to mention his style. What girl wouldn't want that?

On a stage in Atlantic City, the lady and the title came together. Among the honors that Ms. Prevette claimed was a $5,000 photo shoot for the cover of American High Roller Magazine. (Roy Hahn, president of American High Roller, produces the event.) She will also be one of 12 models on the Trump Style Model Calendar, and she attended the Justin Timberlake-Christina Aguilera concert as a guest of Mr. Trump himself.

This lady and this title belong together -- like singing and dancing, like hot dogs and buns, like lips and lipstick. Like Trump and Style. A perfect match.
