( O tempore , o mores ...) 1 # Wodaabe tribe in Africa , traditional beauty contests for men

in #anthropology7 years ago (edited)

In our modern world beauty contests belong to women , because we lost knowledge about human history . Almost until these days , men used make up , clothes were the most beautiful ; beauty was ultimate goal for male gender .
Africa keeps many traditions , as you will see . Every year in september , in Niger , Wodaabe tribe makes beauty contest for men. Ultimate goal is making good impression for opposite gender . Every new born son in Wodaabe population has nice gift , a mirror , for future contests . All festivals in that land are full with music , dance , elegance . Just look at that nice , happy faces .
