One of my pet peeves with modern-day pageants is that the contestants assume positions as depicted above in official pageant photographs. Whether they do it voluntarily or are told to by the photographer, it is not a good look.
Just remember that it is a beauty pageant and not an audition for the cover of "Gynaecologist's Weekly". You can't go wrong if you listen to your grandmother when she tells you that nice girls cross their legs.
