the real beauty is that of the soul. i dont think these winners dont hv this beauty. okkay its nice to feel beautiful but nt to reach the fact of showing off. i beileve these contests set a bad example and they just show girls "oh look we hv wt u dont hv, the body, the looks, the smile" while it might just bee alll fake.
99% it is fake. I hate the fact that people fell alright for women to show themselves on Tv like they are some apecimen to be admired. You have a good figure, okay keep it to yourself, and to whoever you'll end up with! Just don't show it to the whole world with the attitude of "Look at me, gee ain't I pretty or what?". Where is the confidence in such a statement put so openely?
Lah, beauty contests are not as bad as you think. It involves big money. The winners and those who get to model in ads and stuffs get paid highly. Ads of beauty products are highly dependent on beauty models and stars.
Showing off may be bad if done without any benefit, but its not when its for the mutual benefit of all of us.
Yes, increasing number of girls are now becoming worried for their looks. But its helping businesses that sell beauty products to grow.
Overall, its not so harmful at all. Yes, it has some bad effects - like occasionally a girl becomes excessively worried about their looks and take unwise actions. But these are occasional and not to be taken into account.
