REALLY OLDE NEWS. BEAUTY PAGEANTS ARE SEXIST AND BAD AND SHOULD BE BANNED!

Exactly.
People should not be allowed to watch them and so by banning same, perhaps the desire to watch them will disappear.

Young women should find other worthwhile pursuits to occupy their time and talents.  Not that young women have any right to enter beauty contests and pageants anyway.  Becoming a beauty pageant entry is certainly NOT one of the human and civil rights afforded to young women.  Where they ever got the idea that is was is troublesome.  No doubt they are all victims of disgusting immoral male attitudes and twisted male thinking.

Who knows how many young ladies have been forced to enter these sexist pageants against their will.
Surely they (young ladies) can’t possibly enjoy the attention they receive.

And where exactly does that leave girls and young women who do not fit the mold and could never hope to be considered for a beauty pageant?

Probably at the front of the anti-beauty pageant demonstration shouting insults and slogans and trying to disrupt others going about their own business which of course the demonstrators somehow believe is their business as well.

Do these usually very unattractive people have no jobs or other positive interests, beside telling others how to live or what should and should not be regarded as worthy of public attention and enjoyment?  And who are they, that believe they have the right to decide for other women what sort of leisure activity those other young ladies should pursue? 

What bothers me mightily is the idea that a handful of shrill disrupters of public order can bring such influence to bear, that indeed a pageant can be and has been, canceled.

Just what exactly gives them the right beyond voicing an opinion, to shut things down for everyone else?  Apparently the women who do enter and enjoy such pageants aren’t consulted.
Maybe that’s why Rush refers to people like that as femi-Nazis.
To which they take great insult but alas, the shoe just so happens to fit quite well.

I have seen one or two beauty contests in my many years.  Personally, I have found them somewhat vapid with a few exceptions. There are always exceptions.  Generally they are boring , mostly because the girls are required to show that they are made of more then just looks and should be judged they tell us, on their intellectual abilities and their ability to end world poverty and hunger and want.  To which I say BULL****.  I simply want to see her in a beautiful and glamorous ball gown and a revealing swim suit.  But not too revealing because too much exposure spoils the fantasy.  Women in gowns and bathing suits that strut across some stage are in effect, in show business.  And it is a Beauty Pageant after all.  I’m rather tired of the arguments made by the hairy arm and leg set that demand to be recognized for their mental agility.  Fine.  Then don’t enter contests you’ve NO hope of winning.  And I won’t ever enter Mr. America pageants or apply for a job that requires the IQ of a rocket scientist.

It’s really all about a pastime that’s enjoyable for many. But the few object because they can’t be a part of it. 

Still, one must in the end pity these poor creatures.  They will always be homely and shrill.
None has a hope in hell of becoming like Cinderella, a beautiful princess at the end of the story. 

And that’s what I think.  Which of course counts for nothing in this age of political correctness.  (PHOTO IS BUSBY BERKELEY CHORUS LINE)

A seaside town’s annual carnival beauty queen pageant has been scrapped after more than 50 years because organisers find it sexist.

Weymouth Community Volunteers, a charity who run Weymouth Carnival in Dorset, have given the summer celebrations a make-over with a more politically correct ‘Carnival Community Champion.’

Bosses believe the beauty queen competition is out of date and too restrictive as it is only young girls who get the chance to enter.

Sue Follan, the community volunteers’ manager, said: “We feel the competition is now outdated and does not promote equality of opportunity purely by the fact the competition is only open to women.

(Imagine that will ya. A beauty contest open to women. DUH. What a concept. When were beauty contests ever about equality? One always had to be just a bit more ‘equal’ then the others to win. What a screwed up country and screwed up thinking. )

“We have had so many suggestions as to what should happen this year that we thought we would throw it open to the community and reward someone that deserves to be recognized.

“The carnival queen contest is a closed shop that only applies to young, glamorous women and we think it is a time for a change.”

Residents are being asked to nominate a person who has contributed to community and charitable causes.

The winners will lead this year’s carnival procession in August and receive prizes.

Last year’s carnival queen Jamie Asquith, 19, said: “The contest is something I grew up with. There is so much history to it and I do not think it should be scrapped just like that.

“I have so many great memories as queen. I had a lovely dress and won some great prizes. I definitely think it should go ahead in the future.”

Paulette Adefakis, who was 17 when she was crowned queen in 1977 as Paulette Rogers, added: “I had a wonderful time. I was made to feel really special and felt very privileged.

“As long as there is interest in the competition I do not see any reason why they should stop it.

“A pretty girl leading the procession is part of the tradition of Weymouth Carnival. If they think it is outdated they should open it up to men as well and have a king of the carnival.

“I think they are killjoys for stopping it.”

Last week police had to remove angry protestors picketing the annual Miss University pageant in London.

Mayor of Weymouth and Portland Tim Munro said: “Some of our great traditions are rooted in the past and I think it will be a great shame if they scrapped the carnival queen.

“I was there last year and the queen and her attendants put on a brave face in the pouring rain. I would like to see it continue in the future.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
