Beauty Pageant
A beauty pageant is a competition in which the contestants are judged and ranked based on various physical and mental attributes.

Though typically perceived as a female-oriented competition, male beauty pageants also exist, as do child beauty pageants for youth.

Beauty Pageants In Curaçao
Beauty is commonly described as a feature of objects that makes them pleasurable to perceive. Such objects include landscapes, sunsets, humans and works of art. Beauty, art and taste are the main subjects of aesthetics, one of the fields of study within philosophy. As a positive aesthetic value, it is contrasted with ugliness as its negative counterpart. One difficulty in understanding beauty is that it has both objective and subjective aspects: it is seen as a property of things but also as depending on the emotional response of observers. Because of its subjective side, beauty is said to be "in the eye of the beholder".
