Do you remember how much you loved giving your dolls
make-overs, when you were a little girl? Well, that wasn’t as childish an
activity as you might have thought – doll-obsessed grown-ups compete
during Miss Barbie beauty pageants, every year.
This one’s no joke, folks, people actually go out of their
way to come up with trendy outfits and makeup for their dolls, in the hope of
winning a doll beauty pageant. And in order to qualify for the global contest –
Miss Barbie Universe – first they have to win national events, like the one
recently hosted in Venezuela. Before entering the stage and facing the judges,
dolls go through the same preparations as real models: they have their hair
brushed, get original hair-dos, try out their dresses and go through make-up
sessions.
Contestants in the Miss Barbie beauty pageants have their
own names, body measurements and even made-up professions that help impress the
judges. I’m not sure what the actual prize is for winning this offbeat
beauty contest, but I’m sure it doesn’t even begin to compare to the pride of
the doll’s owner.
