In Budapest, Hungary contestants showed off breast implants, nose jobs and face lifts as 'Miss Plastic Hungary 2009' strove to promote the benefits of plastic surgery in a country where enhancements are viewed with a wary eye.
To qualify for the pageant, 18 Hungarian women had to prove they'd gone fully under the knife, with Botox/collagen injections not counting.
Nearly all contestants reportedly showed off augmented breasts and reshaped noses with one finalist presenting 'surgically adjusted' toes.
Organizers claimed contestants showed "...a perfect harmony of body and soul...".
Candidates were at least 18 years old, including a former rhythmic gymnast, a firefighter married to a police officer, a mother of three and several strippers. There was also a special category for women over 30.
Pageant queen Reka Urban, a 22-year-old hostess, won an apartment in Budapest, first runner-up Edina Kulcsar was given a new car and second runner-up Alexandra Horvath won diamond jewelry worth 2 million 'forints' ($10,800)...
