Are beauty contests harmful?

Lot of winners make a good name for themselves...Aishwarya Rai's wax figure is in Madam Tussauds ::)
I agree with what Karan n sir had to say too in a way.....some of them cannot handle the fame well...well it doesn't apply to all of them....
It's mundanely thought that ppl who enter the glamorous life cannot last long...but there are many examples which contradict this idea

Well... for me the bigger problem is the impact that things like this are having on society... I think fashion shows by themselves are harmless and it's the model's choice really, if she wants to take a gamble and pursue is as a career. Many models do well... but many models make very bad choices which endanger their health and images as well... I recently read about a model who died on stage at a fashion show... she had been trying to lose weight by refusing to eat almost anything for weeks... she collapsed out of exhaustion and died soon after. There is too much of an emphasis in the fashion industry (and modern society in general) on how thin you are, how perfectly your body is shaped and things like that. While I agree that no one wants to see obese people walking down the catwalk, it concerns me that people think that they need to be that way alone to look good.

Yes. Point taken but that lies completely upon the individual...the whole industry cannot be blamed

Girls who try to emulate models are beneficial for the country. It creates business opportunities.

Lol... By that logic, more people should smoke, drink alcohol and eat fast food because it promotes the alcohol, tobacco and fast food industries... I know it's a completely different situation, but the same logic applies.
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to the economy and society if more people tried to emulate doctors, scientists, artists and businesspeople?
