Beauty contest

A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition between people, based largely, though not always entirely, on the beauty of their physical appearance. Almost invariably, competitions for men and women are separate events, and those for men are not referred to as beauty contests except derogatorily. Those for women are more common; for an example of a male beauty contest, see Mr. Universe. There are also beauty contests for children; they are controversial, in particular if the term "sexy" is used and/or the children (mostly females) are dressed in no more than a swimsuit or frilly dresses. The term "prosti-tot" came into being after the still unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2941472.stm

Beauty contests and sexual purity

Beauty contests for women often have rules regarding the sexual purity of the contestants. For example, they must not be married, must not become pregnant, must agree to not engage in sexual activity during their reign, and must agree to refrain from other acts that the contest organizers regard as immoral. Breaking any of those rules disqualifies the contestant, and such disqualifications occur with some frequency. Some contestants have been disqualified or forced to resign after winning by someone threatening to release extant nude pictures of them. Having posed for nude pictures is enough to disqualify a contestant or force the resignation of a winner during her reign.
