An interesting tale is told of a guy who disguised himself as a woman and ended up reaching a national beauty contest final.
Arina Aliyeva, one of the finalists of the 2018 Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest shocked the nation after announcing that ‘she’ was actually a 22-year-old man who had signed up for the national contest to prove an important point.
It all started with an argument Eli Diaghilev, a young Kazakh male model, had with his friends about female beauty.
He argued that in the old days women valued qualities like individuality and charisma, while most young women nowadays just follow the most popular trends – be they in fashion, makeup or hairstyle – thinking it makes them beautiful.
Eli added that thanks to all the available cosmetics, digital editing tools like Photoshop and the general falseness in the beauty industry, even a man could pass as a beautiful woman.
Diaghilev’s friends didn’t agree, so he decided to prove his point by signing up for the Miss Virtual Kazakhstan beauty contest.
