Miss Landmine

Though I'm not much on following beauty pageants, this one stopped me in my tracks. I had no idea there was a Miss Landmine pageant. An annual event, contestants all are disabled from landmine explosions. This year's event will be held in Cambodia and is sponsored by the European Union, the Norwegian Arts Council, and others. Entrants will be chosen as winners based on their confidence, beauty, and commitment to fighting landmine use. Two winners will receive a new prostheses. Check it out.
