The other day, I went to my hair salon with my mom for a haircut appointment she had made us. While we were sitting in the waiting area, another mother and daughter came in. They had just made an apointment for the daughter to get her hair cut for a pageant that she will be in coming up (Miss Teen USA or whatever). The daughter looked about 16, thin, blonde, and short. The daughter also obviously let all the attention about her being “beautiful,” “pretty,” and “gorgeous” get to her head, you could just tell by the way she talked and carried herself that she just kind of had that “I’m so much more superior than you” type of attitude. The mother kept going on and on how her daughter ws runner up the previous year, and saying that hopefully this year is hers.
I just really dispise beauty pageants. I think they have to be the worst idea anybody has ever came up with. 1) I don’t think its right to judge women on their beauty, 2) I think it is the dumbest way to get a scholarship on earth, I mean why would you give someone a scholarship for being what society deems “beautiful” and not for being smart? 3) I also don’ t think it is good to keep telling women (especially young ones) that they are beautiful all the time because then thats all they learn to value. Also, not to mention that in the interviewing part of pageants, most put up a front that they have smarts over what is asked (they fake being smart). Why in the world would anyone want to give a person money, FREE money to go to school for being beautiful? That money could be put to better use by going to someone who is in reality actually smart, but doesn’t have the money to go.
