The Top Ten Pageants You've Never Heard Of

Top ten lists are going to be a common occurrence here at TET and what better way to start off this tradition, than with a list of our favorite pageants that you've never heard of....Check out this link for my information on these little gifts from the pageant gods....



1. Miss Klingon Empire
This pageant is held annually in Atlanta at the Drag*con Event and was recognized as one of the Top 11 Offbeat Beauty Pageants two years in a row. As a not-so-proud daughter of a trekkie, I have a special, um...appreciation for this event.



2. Miss Plastic Surgery
My fellow contributor and I were actually discussing the idea of a Miss Plastic Surgery Pageant the other night and thought we had come up with a groundbreaking idea...turns out the folks in China beat us on this one (not sure if I should be sad that we were not the ones to come up with the idea.....or scared that this event has actually already been held). The pageant was a one-time event held in China in 2004. You know what that means...someone can still hold the FIRST annual Miss Plastic Surgery Pageant in the good ole' U.S. of A.....

3. Miss Pregnant Contest
When I discovered this was actually a pageant, I had one question....why did Britney Spears not enter when she was pregnant with Sean and/or Jayden. She would have had this in the bag. Every contestant is required to wear a bathing suit...the picture below says it all:
If you or someone you know is interested in participating in this classy event, please click here for more information. Word is these events haven't hit mainstream yet, but from my research I discovered they are not surprisingly popular in California and Florida (states where, I believe, Miss Plastic Surgery should be relaunched). There was also a job posting for a Miss Pregnant Contest in Alabama
