Priscillas Get Your Lash Curlers And Hairspray Cans

November 16, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

Ladies it’s time to heat those lash curlers and get the hairspray cans out – the Miss Priscilla competition is back for a glamorous night of big entertainment and even bigger hairstyles at the 2018 Parkes Elvis Festival from 10-14 January.

Returning for the 11th year, this shimmering showdown sees women from all walks of life pulling out the stops to resemble The King’s one and only Queen Priscilla Presley, with one lucky lady to be crowned the Face of the Festival at the Goodsell Machinery Miss Priscilla Dinner on Thursday, 11th January 2018.

Tickets to the Miss Priscilla Dinner are on sale now at www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au. While enjoying a delicious dinner and witnessing the crowning of the 2018 Miss Priscilla winner, guests will be entertained by Parkes’ 2016 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist winner Jack Gatto, and local group Amitie.

The 2018 Miss Priscilla winner will enjoy all the perks of being crowned the King of Rock and Roll’s leading lady for the weekend – instant celebrity status, plus special guest appearances at plenty of the Festival’s spectacular events.
Festival Director Cathy Treasure said: “It’s not too late to sign up for Miss Priscilla. Applications are still open. We encourage all ladies to enter, whether you’re a professional hair and makeup artist, beauty queen or just a passionate Priscilla fan out to enjoy one of the best nights of the festival every year!”

Can’t commit to going full Priscilla? Don’t pack up the hairspray cans yet – recreate a rockin’ beehive for the Hairstyles of ’60’s competition, or let the hemlines do the talking for title of Miss ’68. Applications can be
downloaded from the Parkes Elvis Festival website – www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au

If you would like to enter Miss Priscilla – complete the form on the website. For all programming and ticketing information, visit www.parkeselvisfestival.com.au
