Over a 10-week period this summer, nearly 200 young Saudi women are
auditioning for a beauty pageant, but one is called "Miss Beautiful
Morals," in which physical attractiveness is irrelevant, replaced by
judging of the ladies' observance of traditional Saudi values,
especially the honoring of their mothers. Saudi Arabia does have
pageants devoted to physical beauty, but those are contests for camels
and goats, based on such criteria as (according to one camel breeder)
"big eyes, long lashes, and a long neck."
