Ladies! Put On Your Jemima Rags!

We here at Bloody Nib Manor are not particular fans of beauty contests. It is not that yours does not appreciate seeing beautiful women despite the fact that the ever lovely Lady Nib is the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on, or that Lady Nib is jealous. Why should she be jealous of her lessers? Much of it just has to do with the fact that there's just no plot. But we don't begrudge those who enjoy beauty pageants. They are part of modern Western life.

Well, apparently the better minds in Canada know better than we do. This year's Miss Universe is from Canada and Toronto has decided that an appearance by her endorsed by the city would be an insult to the women of Canada for the reasons outlined in this link:sisu: Feminists and Islamicists, sisters under the skin. I'll be waiting for the Dominion to tell the tough broads in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to throw away their toques and replaces them with scarves.
