linkIn Mr Miss World, we follow two contestants in Thailand's Miss International Queen Pageant. Mr Miss Egypt, Darlene, is a surgically enhanced pre-op transsexual who, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, fakes just like a woman, aches just like a woman, but breaks like a little girl when her mother refuses to accept her as a woman. Mr Miss UK, meanwhile, is 41-year-old Leah - a no-nonsense car mechanic who rejects all notion of surgery, and makes her own Wallace and Gromit-like pageant outfits from fireworks, and small hydraulic motors.
