Isafjoerdur Iceland beauty contest April 18. Rantburgers welcome.
2007-03-02
An alternative beauty pageant to be held in a remote Icelandic town will reward contestants' wrinkles, saggy breasts and other bodily imperfections and hopes to challenge Western ideas of beauty, organisers said on Wednesday.

"Anyone can make the rules about what beauty is; we want to change the rules," one of the contest's organisers, Matthhildur Helgadottir, said.

"We think it's just coincidence if you have big breasts. How come this is beautiful? We are trying to show how ridiculous this is," Helgadottir said.

#7  A friend of mine from Australia once told me that there was a woman behind every tree in his home town - and she was 90 years old and bald!

#6  I take it I should protect my eyes (and possibly my sanity) by not looking...

Just this once I will obey my instincts and not look.
