The Mister USA Pageant Taking Place at the Lenox Hotel on Sept. 23

Where: 61 Exeter Street [map], Boston, MA, United States, 02116

[UPDATE: The pageant is being held on August 23rd.]

Calling all dudes who ever wished they could enter in the Miss USA Pageants....

The first-ever Mister USA Pageant will be held in Boston on Sept. 23rd at the Lenox Hotel.

So far, 11 young men will "walk it out" to become the first Mister America, who will then travel to the Mister International pageant in Taiwan later this year. Mister USA founder, Rafa Delfin, explains his decision to start up the pageant for men to the Boston Globe:

"There's so many opportunities for young women to participate in pageants . . . they even have mother-daughter pageants, for Pete's sake!"

Like all other pageants Mister USA has some requirements for contestants. Men must be between the ages of 18 and 30 and be at least 5-foot-9. The winner will receive $200,000 in cash and prizes and will head off to Taiwan in October.

Some of the elements of the pageant show will include bathing suit and evening wear struts, and the ever-engaging contestant interview.

If you're in Boston and want to attend, pre-purchased tickets are $20 and at the door is $30. Go here for more info.
