I actually watched Miss Universe on Wednesday night. Really, from beginning to end! I even had a stake in it. A friend called and we got together, five girls and three guys, and each put down $10 with our predictions for the winner. You can be sure we were rooting for our candidates like crazy by the top 5.
But I lost. Who could have forecast that Miss Plain Australia Jane was going to get it? My theory is that India and Latin America being captive audiences, they were trying to get'em down under in too. She was not beautiful. And to raise plummeting ratings in the US, they forced Miss USA to number 2. Eeew!
What about women's dignity and rights? Well, it seems that whomever fought for those fought so well that today women are free to parade in bikinis on stage for a charitable cause... and a one-year stay in a Trump Towers apartment in New York. Go women's lib.
PS: To smn's question about the difference between Miss U and Miss W, my conclusion was that Miss W is prettier than all of us, and Miss U even beats the Martianettes. Does that make sense?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !
Miss USA ressemble à rien. Je la jetterai du troisième étage de chez moi si elle passait.
Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer pourquoi les canons de la beauté sont actuellement :
- pétasse blonde
- regard bêtement aguicheur doublé d'une profondeur abyssale qui n'a d'égale que son cerveau
- expression inexpressive
Je parlais de cette chose là : ispice di pitasse.
Je vous épargne Miss Kangourou qui est pas mieux née, la pauvre.
Bref, tout ça pour dire que je me demande comment tu peux être indignée par l'image que l'on puisse donner des femmes ? Toutes ces bêtes de concours (à prendre dans le sens que vous voulez) ont le mérite, par un simple regard vide dans un bikini rose avec une plume sur la tête (restons courtois), d'élever au rang d'Elite toutes les femmes de l'humanité.
Peut être que c'est un nivellement par le bas mais je ne suis pas choqué : c'est de plus en plus courant. L'Education en France en est un bon exemple.

Well, miss Russian contest was held on the internet this year, and was voted by the entire internet population of Russia. The result was this : Miss RussiaWho got her title rejected by the organisers because they found it shamefull for the Mother Land!
