China is holding the Miss Artificial beauty contest, exclusively for women who have had plastic surgery. All contestants must provide a doctor's certificate to prove that they have had surgical alteration.

Plastic surgery is a booming business in China, and those who have acquired beauty through surgery are called "renzao meinu" (man-made beauties).

There are nineteen finalists, ranging in age from 17 to 62, including one transsexual.
