It's always nice to know a little behind the scenes. I would like to begin by introducing myself.

My name is Shana Lemos and I am the director and owner of America's True Beauties and Celebrity Kids USA.

After years of competing I had to eventually hang up the crown!!! I soon experienced a few years of pageant withdrawals. I guess you would consider me one of those pageant fanatics. I judged and coached here and there to keep myself somewhat involved within the industry. Being a pageant director was something that I had always dreamed of.

Then it came to me.....Lil' Miracle Productions was created to produce pageants year round on a national level.

Besides directing pageants, I currently work traveling as a convention spokesperson and promotional model for several national agencies. My training lies in vocal, public speaking, and modeling and I am very familiar with the ins and out of all levels of pageantry.  I now am doing something that I truly love. I don't have any children yet so producing pageants has become my main focus and passion. Owning my own systems, has truly been rewarding for me. I loved producing pageants so much that I decided to create additional pageant system.


Soon, the idea of Celebrity Kids USA came to life!Both of the systems that I run are very honest professionally run organizations. They both has proven to be very successful in pulling amazing talent from all over the country.

Celebrity Kids USA is a very stylish pageant which focuses on a complete package child. Modeling/Stage Presence, Personality, Facial Beauty, Attire, and Overall Appeal.

America's True Beauties is a little different though in some respect. Both pageants are glitz style systems but this pageant is looking for True Beauty and Personality. There are absolutely no modeling or attire scores. No Pro Am modeling!! America's True Beauties is run in a traditional format looking for a real Beauty Queen. This pageant appreciates True Facial Beauty, Personality, and Overall Appeal.

I want to thank you for your interest, and would like to invite you to experience the "Magic" of Lil' Miracle Productions whether it be with America's True Beauties or Celebrity Kids USA

We celebrate pageantry at its Best!!

In closing let me leave you with this thought... All crowns are made different it's really an art some may be rhinestones, but most importantly it's about the growth of your heart!

"Remember your journey to winning lies in believing in your dreams!!"
