Stunning, and such a classic competition. With todsy’s changing ideas of women being seen often as items, someone one day may decide the comparison of women on looks is not PC. I truly hope this competition continues as it is a traditional which brings the world together… and women’s beauty should be celebrated (in my humble opinion) 💃🏼🥂
