Mister Pink & Green?

We held our 27th annual Mr. Esquire Pageant on April 5, 2007.

Well, dang. I guess I just didn't know how many of our chapters held such inspiring events to uplift African American males. Apparently, I have not seen much of them taking place here in Mississippi, or more specifically JACKSON, Mississippi, thus my reason for posting this thread. But if they are taking place, then they are not highly publicized. I'll have to do more research. Thanks for all the feedback, sorors.

I think a male pageant sounds fruity. The end.

No comment, but a really big grin.

I reluctantly admit that I agree with you. I hate that feeling because I know it's a double-standard and one sex deserves to be objectified just like the other. It just seems kind of, odd, but I guess it depends on the guy.

As an undergrad, we were barely into having events that formally uplifted the African American man.

But as a Grad Ad. my undergraduate chapter I oversaw had a "Tribute the the Black Man" event every February during Black History Month. It was a "formal dinner" that gave awards to African American men who assisted the chapter. There was inspirational dance, song and poetry. It was the fellas night to relax, unwind and enjoy their dedicated space with the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Then, I upgraded to a perceptual experience...

I am unsure what they do now. But I plan to re-invent in with my current chapter because we sorely need it up here.

I actually was in the Mr. AKA pageant during my undergrad.

GQ, why does that not surprise me? :-)

The chapter at my skool has a Pink Panther Pageant... I always suggested they get Rue Paul and Sisqo to host because the guys that run are *thinks of a good word* ah ha! SPLENDA!!!!!
