Damn, I leave for a day and a half!

All hell breaks loose!

Beauty Pagents are about one thing " Beautiful Ladies".

How many Pagents are about Beautiful Men?

We have many beautiful Ladies on GC who could be in Pagents, but I for one would rather know the Beautiful Ladies on GC!

Beauty is in the Eye Of the Beholder, and everyone on this Site is Beautiful in one form or another> Am I that far off?

Did the Master Artists make statues and paintings of Beautiful men? No!!! They did Women!

Some more endowed in some form or another!:eek:

I may be going blind but not stupiod!:cool:

Blah, blah, blah. Black, white, purple, green. Blah, blah, blah. Fat, short, tall, ugly, pretty. Blah, blah, blah. 1870, 1930, 1960, 2002. Blah, blah, blah.

with that, I'm announcing Ms. Arya pagent.

competition include:

swimsuit
singing (only Wang Chung songs are allowed)
intelectual test (knowledge of Wang Chung and Pokemon history)
and finally the Night Gown competition

I'm from Canada so maybe things are done a little differently here, but I wanted to point out that for minority-specific pageants, you do not have to be 100% of that ethnic group.

I recently attended & watched the "Miss Italia in the World Canada" pageant in Toronto, Ontario. The girl who won is of mixed ethnicity, her mother is from Rome, and her father is Jamaican.......Christina Cretaro, 21, of Toronto won the title of Miss Italia nel Mondo Canada on July 19, 2002 in Toronto. She will represent the Land of the Maple Leaf at the 12th Miss Italia nel Mondo (Miss Italy in the World) Pageant in Salsamaggore, Italy, in September, competing with women from 33 other countries.
This is her here with comedian Joe Avati:

I think to enter pageants for a Miss Italian, Miss Latina, Miss Asian, Miss Polonia (for people of Polish descent), you don't have to be 100% that ethnicity...you have to be maybe just 25% or 50%.
In the case of the Miss Italia nel Mundo pageant, this is to promote Italian culture and to make sure that contestant can understand Italian, since the biggie pageant at the end in Italy is done in Italian.

Similarly, in Miss Chinese International, the 1st RU was Christie Angela Bartram of Toronto, Canada. She has a "not so Chinese name", as she is of mixed ethinicity....caucasian Dad, Chinese Mom. So you don't have to be 100% Chinese to be eligible for the pageant.

I believe that in Toronto, there is also a Miss Nigeria Canada pageant, and also a Miss Guyana Canada pageant. You don't have to be 100% of African descent, but you need to have some sort of tie to either country (maybe 1 of your parents or 1 of your grandparents).

Thanks. :)

Tom,
there are a few pageants for men..for example
the "Manhunt International" (yes, that is its actual name, it usually happens in Malaysia).
They are more of a male model search, but I guess they are a pageant for men. They tend to attract gay men as observers though, not women! ;)

I also know of a men's pageant in Toronto called MR. 2SEXY 2002.
Again, yes, that is its real name...LMAO.

The gay communities in in various cities produce pageants like Mr. Gay Toronto, Mr. Leather Toronto, that kind of thing.
So, yes, there are pageants for men, but they don't tend to attract women observers! :D
Also, I don't know if you actually have to be a gay man to enter those pageants, but quite frankly, I can't envision a straight guy wanting to...just my 2 c.
