With the mere mention of beauty pageants, the immediate image conjured is a whole string of pretty faces beautifully clad in gorgeous outfits. To many girls it may be an ultimate dream to be part of that glamourous event which explains the huge numbers of applicants for all the various types of beauty contests. However to many others, joining beauty contests is simply a waste of time and to some extent 'bimbotic'. Well personally being involved in many such beauty pageants myself, I would definitely applaud those girls who actually can pluck that courage to parade in front of a huge audience, not mentioning the rigourous rounds that they have to go through in order to don that sparking tiara and given that silky sash which screams Miss.... It may seem to the mass audience out there an easy feat to just walk in front of the judges, go through that script-like Q&A session and wow the panel of judeges with that-oh-so-cliche-world-peace answer. However I would definitely disgaree as being through so many pageants personally I would say the entire experience totally widens my horizons and enables me to enrich myself which no other contests can probably do the same. So what is your opinion on beauty pageants?

If I were given the height I would have joined every beauty pageant. It's my ultimate dream, to be looked upon as a girl and be a role model to everyone. Joining a beauty pageant does not only include parading through huge audience. Especially if you win the miss Universe title you have a responsibility to take when you win that contest.

Well I am sure it's many girls' dream to be able to be crowned a beauty queen. It is certainly an ultimate achievement and glory. Of course this comes with a huge load of responsiblities as well as lots of courage to be able to face the huge audience and yet still able to walk daintily in front of them. So beauty contests are not really that bimbotic as many perceive isnt it? =)
