Body Building & Beauty Contests
Body Building, Beauty Contests, Child Beauty Pageants, Bonnie Baby Competitions, Gurning, Swimsuit and Wet Tee-Shirt Competitions
Body Building and Beauty Contests such as Bonnie Baby Competitions, Child Beauty Pageants, Beauty Pageants, Swimsuit and Wet Tee-Shirt Competitions and Gurning (Pulling funny or ugly faces) are Contests which have little or no sporting value in that they are based on how good a person looks (or bad in the case of gurning) and are therefore subjective. Competitions of these nature shall not be covered in this Archive and are only noted here to note their existence.
