Wrinkles & Saggy Bits Are IN in Iceland!
March 19th 2007 00:25
According to the AFP, on April the 18th of this year, an alternative beauty pageant is going to be held in Isafjoerdur, a remote Icelandic town that will reward contestants' on their wrinkles, saggy breasts and other bodily imperfections in an attempt to challenge Western ideas of beauty.
One of the contest's organisers, Matthhildur Helgadottir, stated that "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,"
Men and women are both welcome to register, with a minimum age of 20, and no upper age limit.
The only major rule is that that contestants must not have had plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons.
Prizes are as yet undecided as the organisers work out how they are going to rate participants.
The idea for the contest emerged while Ms Helgadottir - a self-confessed feminist - was talking with friends in an Isafjoerdur pub.
So far only a handful of people have signed up, but as word gets around, they're expecting many more.
