Miss Beauty Pageants
Forget about controversies. This is an entertainment (guilty pleasures) of many that is still viewed by 1 billion people worldwide.
Forget about objectifying women. Beauty pageants are actually putting women into the spotlight to fight causes for charity and in some cases women’s rights.
All that, Miss Universe had thought me some good stuff, this year’s is so much more meaningful:
1. How diverse our world’s culture is. Our Geography lessons are so limited in our own country that we seem to forgot there are many nations that are worth to learn from.
2. Beauty is not clear-cut defined. I was surprised to see Miss Tanzania compete with her bald head. To be honest, she is pretty gorgeous. I guess her bald head really helped her to stand out. If she has wavy hair like the rest of the contestants, she might be crowned instead of the equally sassy Miss Japan.
3. Maintaining your cool. There’s been a lot of talk about Miss USA fell on her bottom and still managed to get into top 5 (another shocker). As expected, she was booed from the audience, and yet she maintained her cool and answered her question. A true sportsmanship at show here…
4. It’s about time the domination of Latin Americans and Europeans to end. Yes I admit they are all hot, but hey, hotties are found globally. What about indians, koreans, thais and filipinos from Asia and other countries form Africa? Well it is about time that the crown goes to miss Japan…
So there’s a lot to learn from miss universe. I hope all the misconception of women wearing swimsuits, parading her bodies would all end.
