From grimacing grandmas to corporate queens chewing on their crowns, these pageants remind us that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder—especially when that beholder is looking for a good laugh. They prove that the world of competition isn’t always about traditional glamour; sometimes, it’s about making a statement, raising awareness, or just being wonderfully, spectacularly weird. And frankly, that’s beautiful in its own hilarious way.
