There are smirks in some quarters about some Southern beauty contests, like Miss Peanut or Miss Black-eyed Peas, but back in the day (1941 -1976) there was a Miss Subway contest in New York City.
Here is one of the ads for it, posted at eye level for strap-hangers to enjoy.
An author is trying to raise funds to publish a book about the contest, and he's doing it online. The deadline for the fundraising is a week away. If nothing else, the fundraising website, Kickstarter, available to almost anyone trying to launch something, is worth a visit, no?

Was the contest restricted to Caucasian women?
