Found on die puny humans:
An unglamorous schoolgirl has become a feminist icon in Russia after she was entered for an online beauty pageant by a friend as a prank.
Alyona Pisklova - not her real surname - got at least 40,000 votes, making her the runaway favourite to represent Russia in June's Miss Universe contest.
But Alyona, 15, was disqualified ahead of the finals because of her age.
In a blow to convention, her supporters hit back with a website called "Say No To Barbie Dolls".
She collected at least twice the votes of her nearest competitor.
