beauty pageant and why we should have it

i was watching 'Miss Universe Malaysia' just a few hours back. always have loved to watch beauty pageant all my life. something about beauty on parade just catches you and attract you.

like iona said, "we, humans are systemized to recongnise beauty".

well i dont actually like the idea of these women being beautiful, but i believe to a certain extent, having such competition would really help us, the very ordinary people on sunday night with nothing better to do.

i think indirectly the beauty pageant helps boost your confidence as that normal person. because FINALLY, you can openly scrutinize, condemn and openly discriminate people's look.

after all, it IS a beauty pageant. you are expected to be 'beautiful' to even be in the running for the title.

and us, the couch potato, eventhough we aint half as pretty as those creatures in bikinis, at least we dont have to live up to THOSE expectations *evil laughs*

and c'mon, you've got to agree how good it feels to just say it out loud "she is so fat, how did she get in?" or "god, she's so ugly, how did she get so far?"

because unlike you, they put themselves up for that scrutiny. and when they pick a super ugly evening wear, HEH HEH HEH HEH. all that figure, with no fashion sense, does not work wonders.

and then comes the questionnaire part, some just give the most bonkers of answers, you would tell god, 'put me there, i would have make so much more sense!'.

of course i have nothing against beauty pageant. i appreciate and command them for their effort in being where they were.

(although i think i would put up a good fight, only if i'm 10cm more than now :)

its just me, what i think of beauty pageant, and why it still stays till this very day.

a celebration to women indeed!
