Miss Outdoors Pageant
Golden Hill, Maryland. "The great outdoors" may translate to most beauty pageant attendees as an afternoon sunning by the pool, but since 2003, participants in the "Miss Outdoors" pageant have melded their clear skin and winning smile with another unique talent - muskrat skinning. For the past 54 years the National Outdoor Show has held a beauty contest and a muskrat skinning contest, but in 2003 Tiffany Brittingham paired the two up and skinned a 'rat for her talent portion. Wearing makeup and jewelry while wielding a knife on the dead animal, she raised a ruckus - and even got a marriage proposal - but didn't win until 2005. The event was filmed for a 2004 documentary called "Muskrat Lovely." You could say these two things - pageants and skinning - just go together, kind of like Captain and Tennille.
