Why is it that the competition for Miss USA, the apparent symbol and idol to our young girls seems to be almost completely based upon looks? What does that alone tell our girls...as if they didn't have enough pressure and false impressions of what beauty really is, let's just pile it up and agree with all those who contribute to the falsities of how a woman should look.
What about brains, tact, compassion, physical abilities? I know some of these girls have competed in sports and other activities, but did you watch the swim suit portion of the show? Because half of them look like they may just collapse at any moment. Maybe that's the reason they have so many breaks between each event. I'm just saying that proportionately the amount of time spent on showing off beauty vs. the time spent on personality and how they feel about current events isn't even close to matching up! I know it's nerve racking to talk in front of all those people but if you are crowned, you better be good at it because that is your job (along with providing a pretty face of course)! I get that they do a lot of videos and competitions before the actual show but why not focus on some of those things in the show? Oh wait I know...because sex sells and that's why you make them all wear bikinis and ensure they have waxed! Thanks America for setting such a good example!
Bikinis...is there no other way to tell if someone is really physically fit than to parade them around on stage wearing close to nothing? I don't know about you, but I can tell a lot about myself it a pair of decently tight jeans and a t-shirt but my face usually says it all! You don't have to be naked to understand skinny jeans will fit!
And I'm sorry but who chose Kelly Osborn as any kind of expert on personality or design?! Last time I checked a drunk poodle had more sense, but then again, who am I to judge fashion sense...you got me!
I also personally appreciated the rapper that came out and sang while the contestants modeled their elegant EVENING GOWNS! I guess it will make their pace faster. What says elegance better than a man in sunglasses and tennis shoes gasping the words of change between every five contestants? And thanks to P-Ditty for volunteering for a front row position as a judge...can't imagine how your vote would be swayed?
I apologize to anyone who may have participated in a pageant and therefore may or may not be offended by my upcoming comments...I admit I didn't see the show in its entirety, but I like to feel I caught enough to pass adequate judgement. I'm just happy KSL news didn't even have a story on it tonight...hopefully the title of Miss USA won't carry such a glorified meaning as long as it is run as a modeling competition. I assure you I won't watch again I will encourage my future children to have better values that what I have seen tonight.
I have more but luckily I have a pregnancy brain that doesn't allow for quick memory access so lucky you, I cut this short. I'm sure I will read this tomorrow and delete it, but for now I am experiencing what I like to call instant gratification!
