Camels Kicked Out of $66M Beauty Pageant for Using Botox

More than 40 camels were booted from a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant after getting administered Botox, hormones and other appearance enhancing techniques. This marks the biggest crackdown in the contest’s history.

“The club is keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” the Saudi Press Agency said of the dromedary disqualification which occurred at the annual Abdulaziz Camel Festival, near Riyadh, where breeders compete for nearly $66 million in prize money, the Washington Post reported. The camels are judged on the shape of their heads, necks, humps, dress and postures — think the camel equivalent of the Westminster dog show.

In order to enhance their camels’ countenance, dozens of breeders had reportedly stretched out the lips and noses, pumped the dromedary’s muscles full of hormones and tried to make their heads bigger with Botox — a substance that has been banned from camel competitions due to past infractions. Other verboten measures included inflating body parts with rubber bands and using fillers to relax their faces.

Beautification and camel are words I would not expect to ever go together in a sentence.

They take their camels seriously, like we do our show dogs.

Does Botox make camels inedible? Arabs like them some camel meat.

“there she goes Missy Bactrian...” The question and answer phase revealed dozens of camels advocating world peace, but the phase that dominated ratings by far was the swimsuit portion.
