03/02 Caught in the Act

Quote From: bactphd95

Or, as I heard it referred to 3 decades ago by someone with an Animal Husbandry degree, a "glorified cattle judging." MOOOO...

 

 I would almost say these T& A contests are even worse than porn, because these things (especially Miss America, which is dying a slow, painful death) pretend to be about "talent" and "scholarship" and "poise" when in reality, it's about the pretty factor. At least with porn, "what you see is what you get."

My own daughter asked me, if these contests are about scholarships, talent and poise, then why aren't any of them overweight, or plain janes ?  Why the swimsuit competition and the evening gowns, and why don't they come on stage with a ponytail and no makeup and a sweat suit ?  If they are so poised and talented, and want a scholarship, then they should be able to pull it off shouldn't they ?

But the women in pageants and most porn are dolled up and fake.  "Real" women don't look like that and it annoys me that Cosmo and Glamour and these pageants try to make it seem to be beautiful that you have to look like this very skinny and probably not healthy women.  I'm not saying that being fat is okay, but I am 5'9 and 175 lbs, and I look damn good, and if I entered one of those pageants, I know I would lose, but I'm okay with that.
