Miss Singapore World

I watched this talk yesterday about Singapore's Beauty Pageant. Why not many Singaporeans care or bother about it etc.

I remember a time when i used to be so excited to watch Miss Singapore contestants on TV. With ooohs and aahhhhs when they walk gracefully down the stairs with their beautiful flowly gala dresses and dazzling heels. It used to be so much fun.

Then there was Jade Seah. She was remarkable, she had wit and was extremely beautiful but the award instead, went to someone whom i can't even remember the name. Jade Seah herself had a star quality that the panel of judges missed. She won my support from the moment she strutted across the floor in her bikini with such confidence. I paid attention to her face and it looked like she was really committed to this pageant. Obviously her star quality was not left unrecognised as she went on to become a TV host and actress.

From that pageant onwards, i felt that judges were not looking hard enough and it sort of lost its attractiveness. The judges always give the winning positions to the one with a bigger bosom, that's what i felt. Giving Miss Singapore World one more chance, i watched as judges chose the bigger breasted ladies, i'm not saying that's wrong but what about the other girls? You're not giving them a chance just cause they have smaller breasts? Are you freaking kidding me? Compare Jade Seah with the lady that won and you'll understand. I mean come on, that's how you judge beauty? By the size of their breasts?

I understand that it's a beauty pageant and it's primary objective is 'looks,' to reward the better looking, give recognition for the beautiful and distinguish them from the rest but what we're talking about is Miss Singapore WORLD. You're representing a country for the love of god. She can't possibly have an IQ quotient of 1 can she? You can't have a woman with just looks. She's gotta be able to speak her mind both eloquently and with grace. but what's the use of wit if she's not able to pass even the first round of Miss Universe.

Furthermore, the standards of Miss Singaopore World have dropped. I've seen a finalist of Miss Singapore World 2011 on the talk yesterday along with two other girls. Only one girl was able to speak her mind but the way she way she spoke, sigh... She said 'them' as 'damn'. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME?

I prefer the Manhunt contestants who spoke much more eloquently and i don't mind them showcasing their nice physique on TV. At least there won't be himbos.
