AFTER ALMOST 20 YEARS OF HOSTING, ORGANIZING, AND JUDGING BEAUTY PAGEANTS, I'VE DEVELOPED NOTHING BUT THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR BEAUTY QUEENS AND WANNABES....
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? FIRST OF ALL, THE MERE THOUGHT OF PARADING IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF CRITICAL AND SELF- RIGHTEOUS PAIRS OF EYES IS ENOUGH TO DRIVE ONE CRAZY... SECONDLY, THE JEERS, SNEERS, AND SNIDE REMARKS FROM PEOPLE WOULD SMASH ONE'S SELF- ESTEEM TO SMITHEREENS.. THIRD, EVERYONE AWAITS WITH BATED BREATH IF A POOR CONTESTANT WILL FALL ON HER FACE OR TUMBLE DOWN FROM THE SLIPPERY STEPS FROM THE STAGE WHICH I STRONGLY SUSPECT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY A SADIST AND MEANT TO MAKE THE POOR GIRLS FALL...
WITH REGARDS TO THE HUMILIATING QUESTION & ANSWER PORTION, I BELIEVE SOME OF THE TOUNGE- TIED CANDIDATES ARE NOT REALLY STUPID NOR WERE THEY ABSENT DURING THEIR GRAMMAR CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE... ITS JUST A MATTER OF TENSION, SHEER NERVOUSNESS, AND MENTAL BLOCK... BY THE WAY, WHY DO WE EQUATE FLUENCY IN ENGLISH WITH INTELLIGENCE? INTERVIEWS SHOULD BE BASED ON THE CANDIDATE'S PERSONAL DATA...LET US STOP ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, THE ECONOMIC CRISIS THAT IS BESETTING THE WORLD, POLITICAL VIEWS, AND EVEN WORLD PEACE... FOR ONE, THIS IS NOT A QUIZ BOWL, THIS IS A CONTEST ON PULCHRITUDE, POISE, AND PERSONALITY... AS LONG AS A CANDIDATE CAN EXPRESS HERSELF IN PASSABLE ENGLISH, THEN IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH...
LASTLY, A CANDIDATE IS CROWNED AS THE QUEEN NOT BECAUSE SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NOR THE SMARTEST... IT'S A MATTER OF DESTINY, LUCK, AND TIMING....
I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS...
JUST ME,
BREW
