actually most of the past winners really cannot make it. i see prettier and more eloquent girls on the streets and in schools/unis. perhaps, they just can't be bothered to take part.

Blame it on society's views. Many ppl still have rather negative opinion of models & beauty contestants. And of course there's the paper chase & the opinion that being a beauty contestant is not a "proper" job & has "no future", etc.feryl said:actually most of the past winners really cannot make it. i see prettier and more eloquent girls on the streets and in schools/unis. perhaps, they just can't be bothered to take part.

The real beauties with brains will never join the competition
wheek said:Oh come on, not all of them are that bad. Granted some are quite terok, but some are quite ok wat. Anyway, a tiny country with a population of 4 million, how many beauties you expect?
And besides, why must a woman be tall & busty to win? Just 'cos ang moh are tall & got big breast, doesn't mean that our Asian women must look like them wat. Frankly I like our Asian women the way they are & see no need for them to be tall & have big boobs. If the mat salleh don't know how to appreciate Asian women, its their loss, not our's. Balls to them! :angry:
wheek said:But you see, beauty is subjective. Many ppl are of the view that in order to be a beauty, you must be tall & have big breasts. I beg to differ & I'm sure there are those who agree with me. I'm not saying all our beauty queens are attractive but there are some (such as Jaime Teo & Joanne Peh to name a few) who are quite good looking. Problem is they don't fit in the mat salleh's definition of beauty.
To the mat salleh, its breasts & height. If you don't have them, doesn't matter how good looking you are, you're not going to win. Simple as that.

Then again, perhaps the local judges for these pageants r jst like u, n thts y we nv win :devil:
*place stamps over my eyes*
Thing is, offerin flat short girls who dun noe hw to tok at a Universe pageant is akin to wearin polka dots outfit at a 'best stripes design' fashion competition.
How on earth do u expect to win?
berryhappy said:If I am not wrong, in countries that won frequently (or at least in the top places) e.g. Venezuala, there is a whole industry supporting beauty pageants.
silver.wolf said:By Miracle!
Not unless all the judges have asian girl fetish
That's not the point. My point is that it doesn't matter whether our beauty contestants win or not 'cos those contests are skewed towards the mat salleh's version of beauty & thus isn't a fair contest in that sense.VampTreSS said:Again.. Dun cook meat whn everyone at the dinner r vegetarians. ;p
Unless all the judges r asians.
