Miss Universe???

Mona Grudt was on telly tonight. She won Miss Universe in 1990. Well done to her.

This got me thinking. Why is it called Miss UNIVERSE? Are there aliens in the pageant as well? Why not just call it Miss World or something?

I've never actually watched a beauty pageant. I'm not really sure what feel about them. I don' like that they objectify women, but at the same time they've chosen to do it themselves so hopefully they know what they're doing and what they want. But I am against Little Miss or whatever it's called. Children shouldn't be raised thinking looks is everything.
