BOOTY: These are three finalists from Miss Bum Bum Brazil 2013 (winner in the middle)
After their embarrassing World Cup defeat, Brazil are back in the
limelight for something they are famed for - their perfectly pert
bottoms!
Their finest assets are currently being paraded around as
27 women with delectable derrieres battle it out in the Miss Bum Bum
Brazil 2014 contest.
The crazy competition, which started on
August 11, sees pert-bottomed ladies from all over the country compete
for a £13,000 prize and the honour of being crowned Brazil's best bum.
But the bottom-baring beauty contest isn't the only unusual beauty pageant in the world.
From jumbo queens to pregnant babes, here are five contests that go way beyond the basic standards of beauty.
MUMBO JUMBO: The competitors for this beauty pageant must weigh at least 12.5st
1. MISS JUMBO QUEEN
Thailand hosts the Miss Jumbo Queen
pageant for big beautiful women. This wobbly annual event is staged at
the Samphran Elephant Ground near Bangkok, as part of the Jumbo Banquet elephant feast. The contest
is held to select the contestant who best exhibits the characteristics
of an elephant by virtue of her grace, elegance and size, and the winner
will lead a jumbo banquet and help promote elephant conservation causes in Thailand.
2. MISS PREGNANT
Just because your belly is expanding doesn't mean you can't enter a beauty contest. No more hiding behind tent-like dresses for pregnant women of the twenty-first century, Ms. Pregnant celebrates beauty with a bump. And yes, they parade in bikinis!
3. MISS RUSSIAN ARMY

What could the Russian Army do to get good publicity and to recruit more man? The Russian Defense Ministry decided to throw a beauty contest. So in June 2005, nineteen female soldiers and sailors participated in the competition (entitled Beauties in Shoulder Straps),
which was broadcast on live television. The event included the soldiers
walking down the catwalk in uniform and singing songs while accompanied
by guitarists (a memorable lyric included the phrases, "Since we're soldiers, our first concern is automatic weapons; boys
come second"). Other events, shown on film, saw the contestants
competing in drills, crawling in combat uniform, entering tanks, and
running with automatic weapons. The jury ultimately gave the title to
Lieutenant Ksenya Agarkova, an engineer with Russia's Northern Fleet.
Unfortunately, Bikinis were not allowed.
4. MISS PLASTIC

While most beauty pageants disqualify competitors who have had plastic surgery, Miss Plastic states it as their top requirement.
The Hungarian competition, held in Budapest, is open to anyone over 18 who has been surgically enhanced in some way.
From boob jobs to face lifts, anything will do as long as the women have medical records to prove it.
The winner's plastic surgeon also gets recognised in the bizarre pageant.
5. MISS BUM BUM BRAZIL
BIG BUTTS: The annual competition aims to find Brazil's best bottom [PH]
The first round of this butt-baring competition aims to find the roundest rump from each region.
The
contest, which takes place in August each year, then whittles down to
just a few women until they find the most tremendous tush in the whole
of Brazil - and therefore, surely, the world.
