Beauty Pageant Rules• Each type of pageant has its own rules and g

uidelines.

• Description of each major type of pageant, along with a few suggestions for each:

• Glitz, glitzy, or full glitz pageant- These are the "everything goes" pageants. The way the girl walks and acts on stage is important.

• Natural pageants- The girls usually wear simple flower girl dresses or Sunday school dresses. Makeup is usually not allowed on girls under 6, and even older contestants should wear minimal makeup.

• Face pageants- The judges are interested only in the contestant's face, usually without makeup. The contestant is usually called in front of the judges and asked a few simple questions.

• Online pageants and online photo contests-Most online pageants and photo contests have categories for glitz photos and for natural photos, along with categories for boys and girls and for different age groups.

Question for class: What are some advantages and disadvantages to take part in it?

Advantages

Bring the beauty to the media and the world. Be ambassadors for peace or cultural exchange Internationally. Provide personal development and career opportunity for young women.

Mu-Lien Ho

If over a billion watch the contest, clearly it is not ou

tdated. The argument that it exploits women is absurd. The contestants willingly take part, and hope it will provide lucrative career in fashion or modeling. Don’t need feminist permission to participate. (David Gordon, UK)

It’s simply human nature to look at beautiful people.

In fact, when it comes to the level of Miss World or Miss Universe, pageants can promote cultural exchange. Many people can hear small countries represented in these contests. Besides, how many people have an opportunity to travel and be representative of his/her own country like the participants of Miss World do? (Carter Kwong, Canada) Ideas & Issues P. 10

Disadvantages Ideas & Issues P. 10

• To live up to a ridiculous idea that these pageants promote and celebrate? How about normal-sized people? (Kristen Nicolaisen, USA)

• It is in the eyes of the beholder and the contest is meaningless. (Yoel Sano, UK)

• Beauty contests can serve no real purpose in the modern world because women have started to drift away from their stereotypical portrayal as sex objects. (RKR, India)

What have come out of those beauty after beauty pageant?

• Be married to a wealthy family?

• Be a successful entrepreneur.

• Be senator or governor.

• If your child wants to take part in it, would you consent?
