Miss England Swimsuit Competition (VIDEO)


Many viewers favorite part of any beauty pageant is the swimsuit competitition.

Hodge who is also known as Combat Barbie, is a soldier as well as a beauty queen, and convinced the Miss England pageant to to switch from the segment based on sexiness to something that shows more of a woman's talent and ability.

No word yet on whether the contestants will wear swimsuits while they show their athletic skills in the sporting portion.

Kudos to Katrina Hodge though for expanding the pageant world's representation of women.
