Pageant Planet

I just stumbled across this website, which curates all the ongoing beauty pageants everywhere. It ties in of course with our WU quest for odd beauty contests. But it's almost too rich, like shooting fish in a barrel. Of course, it doesn't cover great historical items, like best housewife or Miss Atomic Bomb. Nonetheless, you might like to wander its pages.

Miss Gamecock.

I'd like to hear the non-coon-asses try to pronounce "Miss Atchafalaya".

Miss Giant Reefs ?

The Gamecock is the mascot of the University of South Carolina, out of which that contest is based. I believe they used to (and some probably still do) call their female athletes the Lady Cocks. Which, as soccer became a collegiate sport, inevitably led to references to "The Lady Cock Soccer Team."
