匈牙利一家公司計劃于今年十月舉辦一個特別的選美比賽，評選匈牙利最美的“整容小姐”。參賽者不一定要天生麗質，但需做過整容手術。18到30歲的年輕女性均可報名參加此次選美，而30歲以上的參賽佳麗將被列入“整容女士”組的角逐，目前已有100多位女子報名參賽。主辦方表示，舉辦這樣一個選美比賽主要是為了打破人們對整容手術及其受益者們的傳統偏見，讓女士們有一個和諧的環境來追求美。

Most beauty queens would go pale when asked about cosmetic surgery. But face lifts, breast implants or other "body work" are the requirements for contestants of the Miss Plastic Hungary pageant.
"Ever had plastic surgery to become beautiful? Are you proud of your body? Would you like to put yourself to the test?" says the website www.missplastichungary.hu which advertises the pageant, planned for October 9.
A Hungarian company is planning to stage the beauty contest, which it says is the first of its kind, for women who have had cosmetic surgery in a bid to do away with the stereotypes still attached to beauty operations in Hungary.
The contest is open to women aged 18-30 or above 30 in the "dame" category. More than 100 entrants have already signed up.
But a plain botox injection will not suffice.
"The entry requirement is a surgical procedure done under general or local anesthesia," said Reka Bodis, press director of the pageant.
"Unfortunately, people in Hungary are still rather negative about ladies who have had (cosmetic) surgery and there are also a lot of stereotypes going about," Bodis said. "We are not seeking to promote extremely large breasts and the like."
She said the idea first came up about 10 years ago, but back then the pageant could not take place for lack of what she called "sufficient material."
"In those days, there weren't that many beautiful girls who have had plastic surgery, but now we can almost say (the idea to have such a contest) is quite natural," Bodis said.
While the Miss Plastic pageant is primarily aimed at Hungarian contestants, foreigners with a residence in Hungary may also apply.
"The whole thing is about harmony, that's what the contest seeks to emphasize," Bodis said.
"Let's not forget that there are ladies who have had new perspectives open up for them thanks to plastic surgery, who could get rid of their complexes with an operation and can now have a more complete life."
