Reblogged from The Nice Thing About Strangers:
The mix of humanity at the Budapest bus stop included backpackers, Spaniards, grandmothers with grandchildren, and the Miss Eden Contestants of 2011.
Several of the teenage girls stood by pink rolling suitcases. Nearly all were clenching their hands or tugging at their clothing. As new competitors arrived, each received stares and hair flips and thin smiles, all mannerisms stolen from the movies and executed with a lack of skill.
At a conference. I heard a lot about various "Eve"-type characters and remembered these beauty queens...

I remember this one. And the pic is quite freaky. I hope you are enjoying the conference.
Thanks! It is a scary pic, right? Is this suppose to inspire people to spend money?
