TUCSON, Ariz. -- They gulp chardonnay, eat cheeseburgers and fries, and stay up past 10 p.m. Sometimes they play dress up, and have pajama parties with champagne and strawberries.
This is not your ordinary beauty pageant. The title of Mrs. America will go to one lucky housewife here tonight, and stick-thin, cello-playing, Vaseline-lipped, breast-taped babes need not apply.
"We're all adults," Brenda Cullen -- Mrs. District of Columbia and the mother of six -- said over lunch. The 38-year-old petite blonde, who works as a personal trainer and is married to an internist/pediatrician in Washington, added, "You don't need a talent. Which is a good thing. I would have to be doing a liturgical dance."
The Mrs. America Organization is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The show started in Las Vegas, and according to David Marmel, president of Mrs. America Inc., "It began because no one allowed married women" to compete in other beauty contests. "I saw that there were beautiful married women so I created it."
Not to be confused with the prizes on Miss America, Mrs. America wins a Hyundai car, some jewelry, a diamond watch and a shearling coat. The show will be televised Sept. 23 on WE, the Women's Entertainment cable network. There are 51 contestants, aged 23 to 44, and most have children.
There are no rules, except show up on time and wear your state banner in public. Their husbands can be spotted in baseball caps wandering the carpeted halls of the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, drinks in hand. Parents have shown up, in casual polyester, carrying takeout to their rooms past the giant cactus.
"It's not about beauty," Mr. Marmel said. "Their talent is juggling babies, home and careers all at once."
