Camel Love

A follow up to the camel beauty contest article. In a kingdom, far far away, one woman fights for her love of the camel, for what the camel can bring to her people.




How hard is it to milk a camel? I'm not sure, but, North Carolina ain't the place to be convincing people to go camel. Maybe, she should import in some Camel Milk Chocolate from Al Nassma.

Camel Beauty

According to the latest National Geographic Article, camel beauty is rated on a few key criteria:

- Firm Ears
- High Back
- Big Hump
- Good sized Rump
- Shiny Hair
- Massive Head
- Arched Nose
- A hanging bottom lip
- Long neck
- Long legs

The last line concerning criteria is hilarious:

And the judges examine the two toes of the feet, looking for what their guidelines call "toe-parting length." Because so many beauty pageants, in the end, do come down to cleavage.



An intriguing story of competition, of family, of rivalry and of history and culture. Worth 5 minutes of your time. And as with all things Nat Geo, check out the photos.
