Ten thousand camels will be fluttering their long eyelashes in a unique international beauty pageant being held in the United Arab Emirates.

The contest in Abu Dhabi is one of the richest and biggest events of its kind, with more than $9m (£4.5m; 5.8m euros) and 100 cars in prizes up for grabs.
BBC.

Dude, waaaaaay too much money over there.
 
I have honestly never seen a beautiful camel(what? did you expect something to be here? there's nothing here.)
 
People just get WAY too much sun over there!

Next it will be who has the finest sand - Kuwait or Bahrain?

"Kuwait wins, heres a trillion dollars."

"Hey we could use these winnings as a prize for a sexiest fish competition"
 
please tell me I am not the only one who thought of the word "toe" when reading this. :eek: :p

Personally, the first word I thought of was 'hump'. :eek:

Great. Those two things have made my mind go off into places that it shouldn't be going off into while I'm still at work. Thanks.

Anyway, how is this camel beauty contest any different than a dog or cat show? ....only the prizes are much more lavish.
 
Some people stage dogs beauty pageants, finches beauty pageants... To each his own.
And yes, I also thought about camel toes. I do everytime I hear the word camel, actually. :rolleyes:
