Summary

Considers how femininities are produced, performed, and consumed in the mass-media spectacles of international beauty pageants, on the runways of the Miss Venezuela contest, on the well-traveled Caracas avenue where transgender women project themselves into the urban imaginary, and on the bodies of transformistas and beauty pageant contestants.
