If you thought "Toddlers & Tiaras" got crazy and competitive, TLC has the perfect companion show for you in "Crown Chasers." Adults who aren't putting their young children into the pageant circuit may well be putting themselves into it. There's apparently an equally competitive world of adult pageants out there.
One beauty queen featured on the special was 52-year-old Deborah Ashton-Cooke. She's the reigning Mrs. Southwest International and proudly touts that she's been competing in pageants for the past 32 years.
"I have 17 titles to my credit," she said. "I made the decision to have a lower facelift, so that I can, in fact, compete with women who are generally half my age.”
A fellow competitor, who was nearly 20 years younger than Debbie wasn't impressed. "“When a woman at 52 years old is still competing in pageantry, she’s a very insecure person," she said.
Insecure or not, Debbie has a goal.
