Summary
NoS Summary - A beauty contest focusing on the backs of women.
NoS synopsis: "No mistake, some people are more beautiful than ever when they turn their backs on us - " M/S of line of men in white coats inspecting a group of women in swimsuits. The girls parade past the men who look at their backs. One of the woman is very short. "Beauty, they say, is only skin deep - but who cares about the depth?" One of the men walks along the line of girls drawing a finger down their backs to ascertain the curve. The last girl in the queue makes a fuss as if to suggest that she is being tickled by this! The judge licks his lips! Some of the girls put on a show, bending over backwards and touching their toes - showing the suppleness of their backs. "There isn’t a full back in the Football league to equal this one - " Woman stands and turns slowly to display her back. ‘Anybody ought to be glad to see her back again!' Two judges observe.
