Aspiring beauty queens have bared all in a racy fitness contest in Japan, as they compete for the chance to take part in the Miss BumBum competition.
Models of all shapes and sizes stripped down to bejewelled bikinis and sky-high stilettos as they strutted their stuff on stage at the Fitness Angel Show, held at Tokyo’s Big Sight venue, on Wednesday.
The lucky winner, Kareda Amin, was picked from 18 finalists and will now have the chance to shake her hips at the international beauty pageant, to be held in São Paulo,Brazil in November.
Fitness Angel encourages a healthy lifestyle through fitness and training the hips to create the perfect behind, according to its organisers.

It was revealed last month that Miss BumBum would be launching a global edition of the beauty pageant for the first time.
Miss Bumbum World will elect the best derrière on the planet at a star-studded event in Miami in March next year, it was announced in June.
The competition’s organisers said they decided to launch the global contest after receiving requests from women around the world asking to take part in the famous best bottom competition, now in its eighth, year in Brazil.
And would-be Bumbum participants have until December 1 to submit their entries – when registrations for contestants open – to get their backsides into spanking good shape.
Miss Bumbum World will carry the same rules as the Brazilian competition, which prohibits participants who have undergone surgery to enlarge or enhance their backsides.
