This photo, taken in 1940, depicts the contestants line up for a beauty pageant at the Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas. Beauty pageants have been around longer than you think: Miss America, probably the most renowned beauty pageant, had been around since 1921.
You must admit, though, they did lose some of their glory over the years. The costumes and the bridge of the Treasure Island casino aren’t around anymore, and so looking at this picture sends you back in time.
