Miss America may not be coming back, but Miss'd America is.

Following a five-year absence, the 2010 Grey Goose Vodka Miss'd America Pageant - a drag queen beauty pageant and charity fundraiser created as a spoof of the Miss America Pageant - will return to Atlantic City on Jan. 31, 2010, at Boardwalk Hall.

Richard Helfant, President of the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, will hold a news conference at Boardwalk Hall on Tuesday to announce the pageant's return, accompanied by representatives of sponsors Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. and Harrah's Entertainment Inc. Also there will be show writer and director Robert "Sandy Beach" Hichen and still-reigning 2005 Miss'd America Andrea LaMour.
