The Beauties of Yesteryears Introduction

      “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” says the poet John Keats, and sure enough, the beauties of the past will long linger in the memories of the townspeople of Alimodian. Everybody loves a beautiful face, so much so for the Alimodiananons who have always been vocal admirers of feminine charm. In many occasions during the past years, an Alimodian beauty has reigned for a night or for a day, capturing the hearts of the populace during those short moments when she becomes queen.



       Age may have taken its toll on most of these beautiful faces of yesteryear's, but the folio of photographs that follows will show why during their time, these bundles of pulchritude have transformed the quiet town of Alimodian into an enchanted kingdom with themselves as dazzling queens.
