TAMPA, FL — The road to the 2012 Miss Pole Champ USA took a huge step forward as three more names were added to the line-up for the National Finals to be held at the Pink Pony in Tampa, FL on Saturday, March 10.
Fawn Marie, a finalist from last year’s competition, won the Southwest Regional held at Ten’s Showclub in Tucson, AZ. Jedda Antonio took the West Regional at Babes Cabaret in Las Vegas, NV and Lily Mai took home the Northwest Regional crown at Club SinRock in Renton, WA.
Up next, are the two remaining regional contests. On Friday, February 17, the East Regional will be held at Christine’s Cabaret in Philadelphia, PA and finally, the Trophy Club in Florence, SC is the site of the Southeast Regional to be held on Thursday, February 23.
"Last week was such a whirlwind of pole dancing with returning winner Fawn Marie, newcomer Jedda Antonio and last year's Northwest runner up Lily Mai returning to capture the crown!" exclaims event coordinator Nakita Kash. "We have seen some amazing talent including Cirque Du Soleil performers and some surprise 'diamonds in the rough' that were completely unexpected."
"I know that these last two events will bring out the talent, as the word has been building that there are only two spots left for nationals. Good luck ladies, this will be a battle!"
