3. A well judged ankle competition
Rare Historical Photos
Beauty competitions are not a new age trend. Perhaps the main difference in the competitions we see today and those like the one shown here in this rare historical photo is the standards of beauty. In this rare photo from the summer of 1930, it’s seen that beauty of these women is being judged on their ankles. While no longer a representation of physical beauty in the modern age, the ankle used to be seen as part of the overall appeal of a woman. It’s been said, that older beauty queens liked the ankle judging because it leveled the playing field for them against the younger beauty queens with prettier faces.
