Women's camel beauty contest makes debut in Saudi. The event, part of the prestigious King Abdelaziz Festival, was previously a men-only affair.

Saudi women, in a first for the conservative kingdom, have paraded their camels in a beauty pageant for the prized "ships of the desert".
"I hope today to reach a certain social standing, inshallah (God willing)," said Lamia al-Rashidi, 27, who participated at the weekend contest in the Rumah desert north-east of the capital Riyadh.
The event, part of the prestigious King Abdelaziz Festival, was previously a men-only affair.
"I've been interested in camels ever since I was little," said Ms Rashidi, whose family owns 40 camels.

"Contest organisers say they will impose strict penalties on ‘manipulators’ as they attempt to halt ‘all acts of tampering, deception’."
Camel tampering. Looks like they gained their inspiration from muffin the mule.

edit: In fact it was so popular they even wrote a song about it:

You just cant make up this stuff. I try to be understanding of the culture of others,  but these people are like aliens to me.

You have to admit though, camels are kinda cute.

What do you call a camel with no humps...... Humphrey.
