I believe Rob-hin suggested this a while ago.
I abhor all beauty contests, regardless if they concern Mr or Miss. We all have our personal taste regarding beauty, and different cultures and times have different beauty-ideals. What's the point with winning a contest of "who fits best into the stereotype majority consensus of beauty at this point of time in this culture"?
This is of course only my personal opinion, if many people wants a Mr and Miss Gamebanshee contest, feel free to go ahead, it's just that I will not participate nor vote.

I for one would truly object to such a contest. I think that as a society we place far too much emphasis on the exterior..... IMHO a person's attractiveness is defined by what they are within.
It is frankly, one of the reasons why I like SYM, we have all judged one another before having seen photos.....This is the way it should be in "real life"

It would be awkward for me to even vote in a contest.....I wouldn't want to choose between my friends here.....besides, I prefer to hit on everyone.

If several people wants a beauty contest, maybe we should have one anyway? Those who wants a contest, ie Stilgar, Robhin and others (I don't know what other people wanted it, but they can just let themselves be known here) can participate, and those who wish can vote. As I said above I detest all beauty contests, but if Stilgar, Robin et al really wants one, I could vote on them just to make them happy if I'm conviced they really do want it and don't feel unconfortable in any way.

I am of course aware of the possibility, but I view it as very slim indeed. If Thantor's genes were entirely recessive, then his wife must be a stunning beauty, and it's not likely that a very beautiful woman would pick a hunchback, green-skinned teethless mate. On the contrary, cross-cultural studies where people rate the attractiveness of persons, show that a vast majority of people pick mates that are similar to themselves in rated attractiviey.
@CE: Your logic is as elegant as ever. As to posting a picture, however, I have taken an oath never to use the dark powers of my genetic heritage to incite chaos and madness in the general populace.
That being said, my wife is a stunning beauty, actually.
@DW: I was curious if your agent has spoken to you about doing a calendar...

Dammit Gwally, Thantor is too smart to fall for the trick. What do we do now?

Well there is nothing stopping you from posting a pic of you in an evening dress if you so desire
I definitely object to a beauty contest, for the reasons others have already stated
However, a Cher-lookalike contest may have potential

Very amusing, I of course meant I wanted to see Gwally in an evening dress.
