| The Miss America beauty pageant is dropping the swimsuit competition, saying it will no longer judge contestants on their appearance but on "what makes you you".
The pageant began nearly 100 years ago as a bathing beauty contest to keep tourists coming to the seaside resort town of Atlantic City, New Jersey, after Labor Day. But in recent decades, women's groups and others have complained that making contestants parade across the stage in bathing suits and high heels is outdated, sexist and more than a little silly.
