Contests for beauty have become a big part of our society. Today, with thousands of girls taking part, hundreds of beauty pageants are organised every year, ranging from local beach bikini competitions to international scholarship competitions. A lively public debate is almost always triggered by the choice of the beauty queen. Some individuals agree with the judges’ final verdict, and others doubt the elegance of the winner.
