on Apr 11th, 2010Plus-sized Beauty Pageant in Singapore – What about the normal women?

I read on Straits Times today that there will be a beauty pageant for plus-sized single and married women in Singapore. That’s great news for plus-sized girls!

The contestants for Miss & Ms Amazing must weigh at least 80kg and possess a big personality and confidence to go with it.

The contest, which is open to single and married women, has attracted 40 contestants aged between 19 and 43 since registration began in February. It is organised by TKS and Sons, which also organises the Miss Teen Singapore, Little Miss Singapore and Elite Mrs Singapore contests.

The media has always imposed a distorted view of what a good looking women should look like – under weight. This has affected many young women to go on diets and attempt to fulfill certain expectations of what a beautiful woman should look like. It’s no longer about being healthy and fit, and some of these girls become really unhealthy and anorexic! It’s scary that some of them even die from their diets.

How about average women? How come we don’t get beauty pagaent to celebrate our averageness?. We have mini-sized beauty pageant, and now, plus-sized beauty pageant. I am 20kgs too heavy to be in the mini-sized one, and 20kgs too light to be in the plus-sized one. It’s not that I want to be a beauty queen, but isn’t the average person always left out for such things? Government give out money for big businesses and poor people, but how about the average person? Us average people always get left out, not fair! haha

    You want to feel part of everything?
    2 choices:
    Lose weight or gain weight.

    Life isn’t fair.
    Even skinnier average girls don’t get everything.
    So stop complaining.
    You are just like everyone else.
