Global Beauty The "Miss Landmine Survivor" pageant will be held April 2nd in Luanda, Angola, reports the BBC. The contest, organized by Angola's de-mining commission, aims not only to give victims confidence, but to raise awareness. Millions of mines were planted in Angola during a 27-year civil war that ended in 2002. Tens of thousands of Angolans have lost limbs or suffered injuries from mines and the UN says that millions of landmines remain hidden in the country. Eighteen women will take part in the pageant: One from every province in the country. All of the contestants have been maimed by mines. [BBC News]

Pity Miss England. Georgia Horsley, who has a body that many women would kill for, has been told she's got to gain weight and gain weight fast if she wants a chance at winning the title of Miss World. Says Horsley: "Miss World judges like naturally curvy girls and don't like the stick-thin women you see on the catwalks. They promote healthy eating and I want to help them get that message across, so I'm giving it my all." [Daily Mail]
