18 beauty contests of the past, which modern beauties could not cope with

Today we will talk about beauty contests, popular in the last century, which will let you understand how easy it is for modern beauties to take part and win such competitions today. All they need to do now is to beautifully defile in a bikini, choose an elegant dress and answer a couple of questions. But before, the girls had to try pretty hard to be recognized as the most beautiful and attractive. Let's see what these beauty contests were!

Miss Beach - 1922

Girls in swimsuits take part in the competition.

Beauty contest among women working during the war - 1942

In Canada, during the Second World War, a beauty contest was held for women who continued to work in war conditions.

Miss Perfect Posture - 1956

Did you notice that the beauties are standing next to their x-rays? It was for them that the winners were chosen.

Miss the most beautiful eyes - 1930

Girls had to wear special masks so that the jury could focus exclusively on their eyes.

Miss Kitchen - 1964

In 1964, the title was won by Gloria Prince.

Donut Queen - 1957

It is difficult to say by what parameters the contestants were evaluated, but a similar photo with donuts was mandatory for the winner.

Queen of Sausages - 1955

This fancy beauty pageant was part of US National Hot Dog Week.

Miss Beautiful Legs - 1930

As in the case of the contest of the most beautiful eyes, here the girls also had to remove from the field of view of the judges everything that distracted them from the estimated part of the body.

Queen of Radio 1939

Thematic costume of the winner of Elmira Humphries.

Miss magic marker

So there was a beauty contest organized by the manufacturer of markers.

Miss Engine Oil - 1955

Again, the question arises of how exactly the girls were evaluated in this contest and what their main task was.

Miss Hardware - 1967

The competition was held at the Stanley Tools headquarters in Sheffield.

Miss Diaper - 1947

And this is probably one of the strangest beauty contests you've heard of. The girls had to show diapers on the catwalk, which they built with their own hands, and the organizer of the competition was the Institute for the Service of Diapers of America.

Miss Bob-Car - 1925

In 1925 there was a boom in the fashion for a bob-haircut, which as a result led to the appearance of the corresponding competition.

Miss American Vampire - 1970

The original beauty contest was held as part of an advertising campaign for the vampire film "House of Dark Shadows."

Miss Psychological Warfare - 1950

One of the most mysterious beauty contests of the past. They say that the competition was held to demonstrate the deceitful propaganda of the Second World War.

Miss Figure Marilyn Monroe - 1958

Everything is simple: the one whose figure was as close as possible to the famous and most desirable parameters of the legendary Monroe won.

Mrs. Tahoma - 1955

But at this contest, beauties had a really hard time! In addition to strict conditions (only married girls of 18-35 years old who gave birth to at least one child could take part), the contestants had to prove that they were skilled needlewomen, exceptional housewives, caring wives - and all this in rather difficult competition tasks.
