“international pageant of pulchritude”
(1930)
(my grandmother was ‘5’)
(originating in ‘galveston’ / ‘texas’)

.
*aka ‘beauty contest’*
.
(a beauty pageant is a ‘competition’ that has traditionally focused on ‘judging’ / ‘ranking’ the ‘physical attributes’ of the ‘contestants’, although some ‘contests’ have evolved to also incorporate…)
‘personality traits’
‘intelligence’
‘talent’
‘answers’ to judges’ questions’
as ‘judged criteria’*
.
(the term almost invariably refers only to contests for ‘unmarried women’…
(such as the “big 4 international beauty pageants”)
“MISS INTERNATIONAL”
“MISS WORLD”
“MISS EARTH”
“MISS UNIVERSE”
.
(“i still miss her to this day…”)
(only misery remains)
.
(our ‘quartet rounds’…)
(‘grimaldi’ / ‘trussheim’ / ‘dindinger’ / ‘monetti’)
(!!!)
.
(similar ‘events’ or ‘competition’ for ‘men’ or ‘boys’ being called by other names and more likely to be ‘bodybuilding contests’)
.
(the ‘organizers’ of each ‘pageant’ may determine the ‘rules’ of the ‘competition’, including the ‘age range’ of ‘contestants’)
.
(the rules may also require the ‘contestants’ to be…)
‘unmarried’
‘virtuous’
“amateur(ish)”
(aka ‘no go pro’)
*be ‘available’ for ‘promotions’*
(besides other ‘criteria’)
.
(it may also set the ‘clothing standards’ in which ‘contestants’ will be judged, including the type of ‘swimsuit’)
.
(‘beauty pageants’ are generally ‘multi-tiered’…)
(with ‘local competitions’ feeding into the ‘larger competitions’)
.
(for example, the ‘international pageants’ have ‘hundreds’ (or even ‘thousands’) of ‘local competitions’)
.
.
(‘child beauty pageants’ mainly focus on…)
‘beauty’
‘gowns’
‘sports-wear modeling’
(as opposed to sexualized ‘swim suits’)
‘talent’
‘personal interviews’
.
.
[(‘teen’ / ‘adult’)’ pageants) focus on…]
‘make-up’
(sexualized makeup is not appropriate for kids)
‘hair’
(so kids don’t care about hair?)
‘gowns’
‘swimsuit modeling’
‘personal interviews’
.
.
(a ‘winner’ of a ‘beauty contest’ is often called a ‘beauty queen’…)
(…while the pejorative term clapper often refers to ‘losing candidates’)
.
(‘rankings’ are referred to as ‘placements’)
.
(possible awards include…)
‘titles’
‘tiaras’
‘crowns’
‘sashes’
‘scepters’
‘savings bonds’
(???)
‘scholarships’
‘cash prizes’
.
(however, ‘adult’/’teen’ pageants have been moving more towards judging ‘speaking’)
(many no longer contain ‘swimsuit’ or ‘talent sections’)
(why not appreciate physical beauty in human form?)
(“just like jujitsu”)
.
.
(some ‘pageants’ award ‘college scholarships’ to the ‘winner(s) / runner-ups)
