China to hold fake beauty pageant
A contest will be held in October among women who have undergone cosmetic surgery, according to state media. [Natural beauties will not be eligible.]
It will be open to any woman who can prove her beauty is man-made.
Plastic surgeons around the world are being given the chance to show off their talents, in a new artificial beauty pageant in China.
China recently lifted a 54-year ban on beauty pageants, which the authorities used to see as bourgeois and decadent.
But the explosion of economic growth and the loosening of social controls of the past few years has led to a growing preoccupation with how people look.
You think this woman has a shot?
