If you think it's weird to see Miss USA dressed as Optimus Prime as part of the Miss Universe contest, just wait until you see these 11 beauty pageants. Above is Miss Dairy Cow and while I chose that image because it's the strangest, it's hard to choose the single oddest pageant.
Brazil's Miss Jail title is certainly strange, but perhaps even more strange is the fact that the concept is catching on and now countries like Russia, Columbia and Lithuania also hold prison beauty pageants.
Easily the most controversial of all the competitions though is the Miss Holocaust Survivor contest, which some argue trivializes this tragic event by judging survivors based on physical beauty though organizers claim beauty is only a small part of the judging criteria.
