- Description
- Nowadays regional and national beauty pageants exist alongside competitions for Miss Gay Metropolitan Tokyo, Ms. Wheelchair America, Miss Earth, Miss Tibet, and Miss F.A.T., in which the classic pageant format is adapted to spotlight social issues. Alternative pageants vary widely in their adherence to the traditional wave-turn-smile parades of female beauty of face and form.
