The wall

Techs prepared to dismantle a photo wall used by arriving alleged celebrities to pose for photographers at the Miss Teen USA pageant held in Reno last week. Four April-May events associated with both that pageant and the Miss USA pageant are being held in Reno, subsidized by $350,000 in local room taxes. The two pageants are owned by the Miss Universe Organization, now owned by the William Morris talent agency. Previous owners of the organization include ITT, Donald Trump and Gulf+Western.
