It’s not clear when exactly humans began to worship beauty, but it’s pretty sure that the idea has been around for a long time, judging from the way some goddesses are represented in mythology.
Beauty pageants are another way of worshipping beauty at the altar of the ramp. However, there are certain pageants that puts a spin on the more conventional varieties. Check out these 24 most bizarre beauty pageant queens of all time.

ReplyDeleteNice that Sweater Girl 1972 already has her future laid out for her.
So writing on boobs with markers goes back at least as far as 1954?
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI really nice idea to have a lifestyle underwater themed photoshoot.
I am a Sydney-based underwater photographer and I just tried underwater photography with a model in the pool. You may have a look at my photographs for this first time experience: http://lennycliffbanger.com/p637654683
Mom, born late 1920s, grew up in San Francisco, rollerskated everywhere, skate key on a string around her neck.. On especially steep hills, she had to walk the skates up sideways. She dated the servicemen during WWII. If one of them got "fresh" as she put it, she'd clock him with her skates.
ReplyDelete"Miss Indoor Health"? LOL. These were certainly interesting, I had a lot of fun with this article. Mel at eyecreamadvisor.com
