2. Am I the only one who finds that smile scary?
It looks as if she sustained some sort of neurological damage from an excess of tooth whitener that froze her mouth. Poor thing - I imagine her in the nursing home at age 102 with that gawdawful grimace still plastered across her face...

4. Barf. Introduce that woman to a sandwich and a newspaper.
Okay, the newspaper part was snarky.

Beauty contests are such bullshit.

11. I never hit the beach without my 3-inch heels
When the hell are they going to dump the "swimsuit competition?" The entire thing is pretty weird but parading around in a bikini and a pair of stiletto heels is just absurd. :eyes:

To me thats the most ridiculous part of the pagaent..the attempt to make pretend this is anything but a contest based on pure looks...

18. I don't get why it is okay to say this girl needs to eat a burger.
If we were to say she needs to quit eating burgers, it would be wrong. She may be naturally thin for all we know and probably eats healthy and works out. It is so easy to criticize a skinny gal. Some may prefer a more voluptuous gal, but jeez...

I think she is beautiful. I didn't watch the pageant, so I don't know if she would have been my pick, but she looks just fine to me. I do think the swimsuit contest is bogus, but whatever. It is what it is.

27. In general, I think that's a thought-provoking question. In the case of a pageant,
however, I think it's safe to assume that she has exactly the shape and appearance that she wants, and that's the image she wishes to convey. When that image is validated by a pageant win, I think it's fair to snark a bit if you don't like her choice of presentation. After all, it's not like commenting on a random person on the street - she clearly wants to be looked at, commented on, and assessed for apperance.

(That said, I don't see anything wrong with her appearance. Overly-crunched abs aren't my favorite, but she doesn't look unhealthy...)

28. These pagaents make more sense at state fairs.
At least it's more clear what these things are about when they're also judging livestock in the next building over.

35. I totally agree. She looks healthy and happy.
You don't get that kind of body from starving yourself - you get it from working out. I think she's lovely.

and clearly works out.
