    Indian Beauty pageants in USA are mockery of beauty. They are mere trap of money making. There is no entrance criteria and no talent and qualifications required to enter these pageants. Mrs contest this year was a joke. Organizers will gave their agents who will trap innocent women show them dreams of glamorous world and squeeze money out of them. These gang oh people work together. I was there this year with my friend and was shocked to see Mrs USA of this year ???. Ladies be aware they don’t care how accomplished you are and how well rounded you are all they want is your pocket. Look and the Mrs and decide yourself. There was no talent and no criteria.
