snoop1130 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Pageant-mad Philippines celebrates Miss Universe win REUTERS The Philippines, a country obsessed with beauty pageants, is celebrating its fourth Miss Universe win, sparking a wave of pride and support online. Catriona Gray beat her global contestants in an early morning final in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday. While hugely popular, such pageants are often accused of objectifying women and promoting gender inequality. Activists have described Miss Universe as a "display of flesh" which sets "unattainable beauty standards".

tropo Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 She rocked the stage! Congratulations! The most polished and prepared contestant ever. She had the crown from the moment she appeared on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harada Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 IMHO I think the contestants should have lived in the country that they represent their whole lives to make the contest fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant here. If she spent her entire life in Australia she'd still be labelled Filipino or Filipino-Australian. They just can't lose that tag, so why not embrace it? It wouldn't have mattered what sash she was wearing - she still would have won. Edited December 17, 2018 by tropo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doacko Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 To properly reflect the beauty of the contestants, they should do just that...without any embellishments like makeup or clothing. Anybody can strut around in somebody else's creativity, and have nothing to do with their natural God-given beauty. I know there would be a lot more supporters, were that to evolve.

I've seen her without makeup (YouTube video - after makeup is removed in a night cleansing routine), and she's exceptionally pretty naturally... plus she can sing. There's no taking it away from her - she is exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
