24 Creepy Photos From History’s Weirdest Beauty Contests

Miss Atomic Bomb – 1957, Las Vegas

This is probably the weirdest pageant of them all, and it’s hard to say that, since those child pageants like the one Honey Boo Boo came from are quite something. This was thought to be a touristic event to promote the capital of sin, Las Vegas.

The war had just ended, but most of the locations where the atomic bombs were manufactured and tested were still there. Naturally, because we’re really weird beings, this became a huge touristic spot in the city. So the organizers decided to mix the best of both worlds and create an event that would promote the city and its most popular venue.

They came up with Miss Atomic Bomb, a pageant where the contestants had to wear accessories and clothes allusive to the bombs, and since the image of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs was seen by almost everybody in the world, you can see how they adapted the theme into their attires.
