a weighty affair
Watching the snippets of the miss singapore universe promos on tv has led me to a rather alarming realization. Singapore's good food does have it's pros, and cons.
In a few days(or weeks?), a certain quite large number of Singapore's beauties will be taking part in a televised beauty pageant, possibly the most prestigious pageant, to select one woman of beauty and intellect to represent Singapore at an international pageant. All's well, just that our contestants are rather.. flabby.
I think it might be a mistake on the organizer's part to have all the promo showings to be from the swimsuit segment. Selling on sex appeal is one thing, the lack of it despite trying is another, and forgetting that the Singapore community is still suffering from the side effects of Chinese New Year is another. We must remember that Singapore is a chinese majority country, and we chinese eat a lot during CNY. And of course, girls from other races would also be making use of the excuse to be eating a lot.
It might be such a shallow view, but i believe that if you were to take part in a beauty pageant, you had better be look liking a priced steed. We want to watch beautiful people in the pageants, not pudgy porky, and definitely not someone looking like me in swimsuit. At least have the dignity to work yourself to a prime physical condition during competition season. That is the least respect you can give to a competition.
I am of course, not encouraging anorexia or bulimia, or other eating disorders. A healthy, slim body is good, but then of course, you do not need to have an absolutely perfect body to be beautiful, unless you were taking part in a pageant.
Oh, and if we had contestants who knows for sure, and remembers that the oral examinations they had back in school were not only in the dentists' chair, and behaving as such, we might have a pageant worth watching.
The author has never watched a beauty pageant in his entire life. He is currently a pudgy porky, and kind of believes that some of his friends are hotter than the current crop of Miss Singapore contestants. He mantains he wouldn't mind making friends with any of the contestants.
