I myself have to admit that I am an ex-Beauty pageant winner, and for me it was a childhood dream, but going through with the pageants I saw the nasty side of it. For instance, my senior year in high school I had an opportunity to go to the Michigan USA preliminaries, I was issued a consultant and she told me I had to lose 20 pounds before pageant time!!!! At the time I was by no means fat at 5'5" I weighed barely 120 pounds. They expected me to be 100 pounds!! I quickly got out of that.
But in the response to the 250 pound mole-faced girl comment that will never happen, because what pageants are all about is beauty inside and out. Before it was mostly outside appearances, now we get into college scholarships, grades and talent are worth more then swimsuit. Just my two cents, I'm proud of our Sigma Kappa who I believe was Miss Tennessee?
Go Greeks!!!
