MEXICO – Oressa Duguay has received word of her acceptance to the USA Showcase at the MGM Orand in Las Vegas. Nev. This will be held in October and will be televised approximately one month after the presentations.

Duguay has been invited to participate in high fashion modeling (runway), dance and some acting. She was selected after submitting an application and an interview process with the judges.

She adds this achievement to her representing Maine in the Miss Teen Pageant in Orlando in December. She is also in the negotiating stages with Wilhelmina Models in Danvers, Mass., the largest modeling agency in the world. Duguay has a one-year contract with FACE Models out of North Carolina.

She also participated with ProScouts in Boston in April. Her decision to perform her dance for the judges has opened the door for her invitation to Vegas.
