A mother and daughter duo taking the beauty pageant scene by storm are so alike they are often mistaken for sisters - even though there are 21 years between them.

Hairdresser Laurie Meisak, 55, a grandmother-of-two from Hamilton in South Lanarkshire, decided to follow in her 24-year-old daughter 's footsteps by competing on stage.

The youthful mother of four, who even stripped down to her swimwear for her first contest, impressed judges at the Miss Galaxy UK final last week - where she was named runner up.

苏格兰南拉纳克郡有一位55岁的大婶名叫劳里(Laurie Meisak)，她有四个子女、两个孙辈，但她却因为跟随自己的小女儿，24岁的艾米(Amy)参加选美比赛而走红，上周她更是拿到了选美比赛的亚军。母女两人虽然相差31岁，但常被人误会是两姐妹。

Laurie, who is also mother to Kelly, 31, Lewis, 29, and Kyle, 27, claims competing has given her a new lease of life, and says she wants to inspire women of all shapes and sizes to have more confidence with her own journey.

劳里说，参加选美比赛，让她获得了新生。

她说，希望用自己的经历，鼓励其他女性更加自信

She took tips from her daughter Amy, who has been competing since she was 19 and currently holds the title of Miss Grand International Scotland.

她的小女儿艾米从19岁开始就参加各种选美比赛，并且还获得过冠军。在女儿的激励下，劳里走上了选美舞台。
