hello,  i use to compete in beauty pageants :)
Awesome!  I bet they were fun!  Did you enter international pageants that have hundreds or thousands of local competitions?
only the local competitions
I didn't realize that the organizers of each pageant may determine the rules as well as the age range of the contestants!
yeah, no set of standards, just local traditions and rules for most
Interestingly, the rules may state that the contestants be unmarried and virtuous!  
i am unmarried but for virtuous....
I didn't think I should ask LOL  Usually pageants are focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants.  I don't think I have a chance! haha
