Women from around the world gathered in Libya this week for the nation's first international beauty pageant, where contestants ditched swimsuits and sequins for T-shirts and dresses adorned with pictures of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Libya hosted the pageant and Internet users from all over the world chose the new "Miss Net World.'' Britain's Lucy Layton won the title on Saturday. Layton and 22 other women from around the world met Gadhafi and toured the north African country's beaches, desert and monuments for a week. Photographs on the pageant Web site, www.missnetworld.tv., show the young women laughing with Gadhafi.
