Waxed legs, flawless skin, properly set hair, high heels worn by the beautiful bombshells are all that more or so define a normal Beauty Pageant. But have you ever seen gays or transgenders pulling off a catwalk? Leave, let's keep this at bay! Have you come across a ramp set for drug addicts, murderers and criminals?
Well, the Quezon City Jail in the Philippines provides its prisoners with a unique platform. The opportunity is that of a Beauty Pageant which does not comprise of females but gays and transgenders doing the ramp walk. I don't know how such an idea struck the organiser but it was really applaudable and the glimpses are not to be missed.
