Manmade Chinese beauties (2) Last night the artificial beauty competition ended, and of course the 62-year old participant did not win it. Allowing a 62-year old to participate was probably a very smart move, though. Many foreign media picked up on the story because of this oddity. Xinhua had some pictures of the ladies (and one transsexual) in black dresses and in very conservative bathing suits. In case you did not notice, participant no. 20 is the oldest participant. 6:50:29 AM    comment []
