Who wouldnt want the Quinceanera of their dreams? Traditionally, teenage Latinas across the world dream of celebrating their coming-of-age with family and friends at a Quince party. Verizon Wireless is doing it again for the third year in a row with their annual My Fabulous Quince contest. Their contest celebrates the Quince tradition as teens in select markets apply online and Verizon Wireless selects 100 semi-finalists for the public to vote for as their favorite.
