China prepares pageant for 'artificial beauties'
Just days after a local woman was disqualified from a pageant because she had had plastic surgery, China plans a contest where participants will be banned if they do not have it, Xinhua news agency reported.
"Man-made beauties should have a stage of their own," Lu was quoted as saying. "It's fair to have a pageant apart from that for natural beauties." There is one major exception, though, as transsexuals will not be permitted access to the show. News of the event -- probably a first ever -- comes in the wake of major controversy erupting over 18-year-old Yang Yuan, who was kicked out of the Miss Intercontinental contest for having gone under the knife a little too much. The organizers argued that a bit of facial adjustments were in order, but not on a massive scale, like Yang, who had visited her plastic surgeon 11 times to look like a completely different person. The plastic beauty disagreed, and is suing the organizers in the hope that they will pay her 110,000-yuan (US$13,200) medical bill. |
