Beauty Pageants: A Blessing or a Curse?

The third point I want to discuss, is the effect on participants, when these contestants don’t win, that leads to jealousy and as we all know jealousy leads to violence and crimes.

When these contestants don’t win, it leads to insecurity, and they have a allow self-esteem, it has been known that the contestants that don’t win suffer depression and inadequacy.

Many of you aren’t aware of the extreme unhealthy measures they do for beauty. They live on orange juice and cotton diet. In which they dip cotton in orange juice in order for them not to consume a lot of calories. They go through liposuction and gastric bypass operation in which it alters the organs just so that they remain skinny or lose weight. They go through eye lid surgery and teeth construction so that they have the perfect eyes or the perfect smile. Is this the price we have to pay for beauty?

As a conclusion, I would like to say that there is no point in beauty pageants, these contestants are required to wear expensive evening gowns, spend money of:

• - hair
• - make up
• - manicures
• - pedicures
• - skin treatment
• - extensive hair care
• - change their hair color
• - get breast implants

- Wear fake eyelashes?

And for what? To get a trophy saying that they are beautiful? They don’t realize that they are presenting a fake image of beauty and a near fatal image of thin, in the mind of others?

They don’t realize the effect that it has on them and even non contestants and the society.

I would like to say that women should be proud of her accomplishment, not just her looks, interview ability and even worse her congeniality!! Prizes for being nice and beautiful. HOW PITIFUL

And now I would like to end this article with a quote from Garry Keller he says that beauty isn’t worth thinking about what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a 50 dollar haircut on a 50 cent head.
