What do you know about beauty pageants? I can't say I'm a big fan of them lol
I totally understand. Beauty pageants used to just be judged on a contestant's physical appearance, but times are changing. Now some contests also judge intelligence, talent and personality traits.
That's cool, do you know when they first started to be held?
I'm not sure, because it seems like they've been around forever! And there are so many! Beauty pageants are usually multi-tiered with small local competitions feeding into larger, international ones.
Interesting. Do you know what the biggest pageant is?
If I had to guess, I'd say the Miss Universe pageant is probably the biggest. It's definitely the most coveted! I think it's crazy that all those women are required to be unmarried, don't you?
I agree! I didn't even know that! Anything else interesting about the Miss Universe pageant?

Beauty pageant
A beauty pageant or beauty contest is a competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants, although most contests have evolved to also incorporate personality traits, intelligence, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria. The term refers largely to contests for women such as the Big Four international beauty pageants.
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
