Beauty pagents were never my thing (with all of the manners, poise and [feathered hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair)). I just couldn’t win one. But it seems all may not be lost for me, as illustrated by Alternative Miss World Fancy Chance.

Chosen because of her stellar performance in which she was lifted out of her steampunked dress by her hair, Alternative Miss World Fancy Chance is nothing short of revolutionary. It all goes to show you that you can be funny, [tattooed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-compact) and badass and still win a [beauty pagent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing) title.
