The Miss America Organization brought back the “DSW Show Us Your Shoes Parade” which showcased the shoes and costumes of the 53 Miss America Contestants. The parade had been a tradition in Atlantic City NJ and was dropped when the pageant moved to Las Vegas. Now after 6 years it returned, much to everyone’s delight. The parade was held at The Paris Hotel at the Arc de Triomphe with Robin Leach as the Master of Ceremonies.
