Sky News Australia - [Showbiz News]: "Miss America

The new Miss America contestants have arrived in Las Vegas with a significant fashion armoury.

The contest is a gruelling exercise in good grooming and creative beauty tricks, not to mention the poise, talent, interview techniques and community service.

Contestants spend thousands of dollars on a wardrobe, often selected by a committee of interested parties and previewed by hundreds of friends and family.

Miss Georgia, Amanda Kozak arrived with nine suitcases.

'You only do Miss America once, you might as well have everything,' she said.

Miss Colorado brought 25 pairs of shoes, Miss Florida paid $700 to ship her wardrobe in advance, while Miss Mississippi's 10 pieces of luggage carried a humidifier for her skin and workout weights.

While contestants are allowed to use stylists in preliminary competitions, they're required to do their own hair and make-up the night of the show."
