What do you get when two seasoned pageant professionals come together? In the case of World’s Fascinating Miss, you have the dynamic duo of Kim Gafford and Nina Suluh. Little did they realize in 2012 when their daughters competed in the same age division at a prestigious Central Florida state pageant that 6 years later they would become great friends and an even greater force for excellence in pageantry. What started as an after-pageant conversation over dinner at Perkins became a mission to be a disrupting force in the pageant industry. By changing certain aspects of pageantry, throwing it back to pageantry’s golden age in others, throwing other aspects away completely, and approaching competition from the perspective of the participants, parents, and support personnel, Kim and Giovannina are taking pageantry where it has never gone before. Get ready for pageantry like you’ve always wished it could be!
