♥ BABYT'S WORLD OF CRAP ♥

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

2 days ago, the new Miss USA was crowned. The beauty queen with the crown this year? - Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton.

I think most Miss USAs (not the teens though) are all really smart ladies with brains, unlike our local beauties. I'm not saying that all Miss Malaysia contestants are lousy, but seriously, among the 14 contesting in the Miss Malaysia pageant, I think there is only 1 or 2 that are really deserving of the title. And sometimes, you really think, this year's pageant is really a waste of time. There is no one whom I'd choose to represent my country in the Miss Universe competition.

Don't get me wrong. Malaysia has many beauty with brains. It's just that these girls just won't join the pageant. I mean, seriously, if you are beautiful & intelligent, why would you join the Malaysian pageant right?? The Malaysian pageant is known for its 'high' quality. To be associated with that??

When you see a Miss USA contestant, you see a charismatic, confident, active, intelligent, beautiful, hot woman, who has the poise and that elegance - a lady that represents America. When you see a Miss Malaysia contestant, most of the time, the words Ah Lian, wanna-marry-rich man, celebrity-wannabe, Manglish...all comes to mind. I'm really sorry, but it is true.

The only time I'd watch Miss Malaysia is when I heard that they do well in the Miss Universe pageant. Only few managed to do that. Lina Teoh, Arianna Teoh and I forgot her name, Priya Henry or something. My favourite Miss Malaysia of all times - Lina Teoh. I still think by far, she's the best. When I see her, I don't see her wanting to be glamourous or famous, but I see someone who is humble, confident and just a woman with beauty and intelligence. She's not in the local scene so often anymore, I think she is married with a family now, but she still is someone whom I'll remember. She was 2nd runner-up in the 1998 Miss World pageant and I was really really proud that time.

Anyway back to Miss USA this year. The hot topic was that Miss California (the 1st runner-up) lost the title to Miss North Carolina because of her controversial answer. Miss California was asked whether or not other states in America should follow in Vermont's footsteps to legalize same sex marriage.

She answered that she is happy to be in a country whereby one can choose who to marry - same sex or not, but in her family, she believes that a marriage should be in between a man and a woman. And she added, no offense to anyone.

Even though I do not see eye-to-eye with her views, I think she answered very well and very honestly. I mean, if she doesn't believe in gay or lesbianism, at least she is honest about it. If she lied just to win the crown, I think that would make her a person with no integrity.

But if you ask me, I believe that a marriage should be between the two person getting married - regardless of sex. As long as they are happy....

The judge Perez Hilton said she lost the crown because of her answer. Some of the people in the crowd also booed her and it is the first time they say, that a Miss USA got booed. I think the judges are in a difficult position too. If they let her win, it might show that they are anti-same sex marriage.

I think her being in second place is the best. At least it's a win-win situation for both. I mean, second is not a bad position to be in.

Anyway since the tabloids and news were sensationalizing this issue, I thought I'd share my two-cents also. But seriously though, did you guys check out this year's Miss Malaysia finalists??
3 words in one - OMG!!! Only one worth looking at and I pray to God that she can speak well!!!

Sorry la..i know I'm in no position to judge. Maybe I should also check my own face in the mirror. But then again, if you join the pageant, you should be ready for judgments...and criticisms. At least I keep my face within my house ok...
