Miss California, Carrie Prejean, gets to retain her crown. I'm so relieved (you can't hear the irony/sarcasm in my thoughts). There was talk of her possibly being "de-throned" because of recent photos that have been released. Mr. Trump, who owns the pageant, says she can keep her crown, dismissing the photos, saying that she's a model and "this is the 21st century." I have no interest or care in whether she keeps her crown or not, but I did wonder: Speaking of 21st century, why are we still having something as goofy as BEAUTY CONTESTS anyway? Have we not moved past this idea that what's on the outside is so important? That because of the luck of the gene pool, this one person is somehow "better"? Is it helpful to still be sending the message that it matters if you're beautiful, that somehow that makes you on top of the heap? Oh, I know I know, there's this talent and that talent and so on. But it's called a BEAUTY pageant. If these women were unattractive, it wouldn't matter how talented or smart or inventive they were.
I know it's just that I'm envious. But still. 21st century, people. Isn't this a wee bit archaic?
High 5. Chest butt! Cheers! Bravo!
ReplyDelete:) you, though, could be in one!!
ReplyDeleteI just don't know how to feel about this. I saw the controversial photo of her online but couldn't decide how I felt about it so I had to look several times more. I'm still making up my mind and may have to revisit the site several times today.
