Secelia Garrett-King of Galveston competes before judges during the vintage-inspired swim wear contest at the Galveston Island Beach Revue on the beach in Galveston, Texas, Saturday. Garrett-King won second runner-up in the competition. The Islander By Choice group resurrected the legendary Bathing Beauties Pageant this spring to help raise awareness about the islands recovery from Hurricane Ike and plans to continue it as an annual event. The Galveston beauty contest began in 1920 and was dubbed the "Pageant of Pulchritude" by original promoter C.E. Barfield. The pageants ran from 1920 to 1932 to kick-off the tourist season.
