Let’s support our beauty queens

20131015-115502.jpg

These pretty girls are working really hard to represent their country, our country, India at different international pageants.

However, in recent times it's seen that the people especially on social media are more vocal in regards to bashing them. From appearance to walk, to communication: nothing is spared.

I wonder if any one has an idea how tough it is to be chosen from thousands of applicants to finally winning the crown.

A typical day for a winner is: workouts extremely rigorous, diet controlled, under watchful and wishful eyes 24/7 to excel in all areas, however the audience is quick to pass a judgement with the click of a button on social media.

Let us not bully the delegates, let’s cheer, support and encourage our representatives to give their best

If it means so much to us, imagine how much it would mean to the chosen delegate.
Let us unite and shout out loud, so that India is the best and the crown will surely sit proudly on all our delegates pretty and responsible heads!

All the best India!

How beauty pageants can change your life

It’s true winning a beauty pageant is almost like acquiring a PHD, you’ve almost mastered the field of beauty, fashion and glamor.

However, participating, competing and merely dreaming about it are three different things and each has a current outcome too. If you want to change your life, then you need to be amongst the winners or at least have a winner attitude. Most of the times girls who aren’t so strong tend to lead towards a breakdown, and that could be serious too.

As ,inch as its just a pageant it’s also a life altering opportunity, that comes to selective few, so it’s vital to well utilise it.

Grooming, coaching, training for it if done half heartedly can only empty your pockets, but if done well could make you richer by wisdom. Yes it’s important to know who grooms you, how we’ll you are trained and how confident you are when you stand amongst the top girls of the country.

This change is possible if only you try and work towards it, you could be guided but that’s about it. To stand on stage, look pretty in bikini and pose, smile endlessly and effortlessly is purely & entirely your Job.

Audition rounds most important

Yes, indeed its true. If you survive the audition round you reach an inch closer to your cherished dream.

Auditions are short, to the point, there’s no dilly dally happening here.

From the very second you walk in make a Mark, create an impact, Intimidate fellow contestants and boom you’ve nailed it! The outfit, hair, bag, foot wear, nails…etc everything head to toe has to be just perfect.

There’s a cocktail dress round & swimsuit round! To check style, body, communication and most importantly confidence. In every outfit that you don, elegance should ooze and scream DIVA!

Your introduction and Q&A can easily catapult you ahead! Remember at all national & international pageants this is the key factor.

Even the choice of clothing is decisive and this has to be international in style & appeal. Everything from entering the room to that diva aura can clinch you that coveted spot!

Till then Stay Sexy!!

Is a bikini round really necessary

If you ask me then No. Its a simple question with an easy answer!
So why the hype?

Well ask the organisers, cause its actually very irrelevant to hold a bikini round when you’re truly searching for a global icon.

So why is bikini important, well simply because its a very common attire in the west and requires one to have a hard attained body and oodles of confidence to walk in it!

In the west when you’re in a bikini eyes don’t rape you unlike in our country where fully clothed attire can also land you in a soup!

And as far as the hype is concerned its actually created here by our people!

Its an easy garment and it only looks vulgar to the vulgar, or a disproportionate body!

Having worries finding the right bikini for the pageant? Be more with trends and make the mirror your bestest friend!

Stay pretty

Is it ok to repeat contestants in beauty pageants?

Is it ok to repeat contestants in beauty pageants?

Recently I saw people vent out so much anger on such a noble topic as to repeat contestant another year or not.

Firstly beauty pageants like Miss India and Miss Universe are so big that the very thought of it gives a girl goosebumps and so begins her journey towards preparation.

From arranging clothes to walk to talk, to make up to coping up with the national confidence it’s a big task and even if the poor girl qualifies the first time on her own merit and is unable to win, does that mean all is lost?

Do dreams as big as this get only one chance. Also if she’s invited by the organisation again( maybe she’s deserving) everybody begs assuming, oh she’s sleeping, oh she has a jack in tooth she’s so special….blah blah blah

But then that’s how most sick minds think. Can we please stop assuming and let the girl move ahead with decisions she needs to make!

The frustration is mostly because the international crown is just not knocking on the Great Indian door.

Well good things take time, till then enjoy and appreciate the effort put in each year rather than criticising the makers, the contestants, the repeaters and winners!

Do Beauty pageants need an all Women team

Wow, an interesting thought!!
Should a pageant run for women also be done by women!

The first word that comes into mind is Safe: no compromise situation and that sure is a big valid point.

Beauty pageants directly deal with young girls who are quite vulnerable if in wrong hands!

But does it mean women don’t exploit women?

Well maybe not I’m this case…
For instance just think about these situations;

1.Guidance on physical appearance
2.discussing wardrobe especially inners
3. Being comfortable In bikini during the shoots
4. Dealing with emotional breakdown during competition

And apart from the above, the whole concept of rumors doing rounds that ” this girl is definitely winning cause she’s sleeping with the main guy” and vice versa is probably the biggest relief one would get sans the Men.

No I’m not a feminist, but enforcing an all women team can be a refreshing change and may do wonders for the So called biased beauty pageants!

Above article is based on social site trends and comments! FYI

Are beauty pageants rigged

Now it’s a quite popular question and on everyone’s mind…
Well the truth lies only in the minds of the makes are creators of beauty pageants.

But here’s a thought why would someone invest a lot if the choice was clear from day one.
Also why would the pageant take troubles to make the pageant super special for one contestants when they have an option to choose any one!

It can never be of relation because that’s illegal. Most of the times rumours like rigged do nothing but pull down other contestants. It’s disheartening to see that petty rumours can make strong candidates feel weak, powerless and finally lose out the spotlight.

The pageant is a journey, one that every contestant will cherish all their lives. So the contestants need to take it very seriously.

Most contestant take it for granted, or treat it like mini vacation. Well you can imagine the outcome if the thought is such.
Anyways beauty pageants especially like ponds femina miss India, Indian diva, miss universe, miss India, miss world… And more are of national pride and international value.

It’s been a while India got an international crown and the day that comes entire nation will go frenzy almost like winning the World Cup!

So girls pull your socks high and the hair down and get serious, because an entire nation is watching, supporting and vying for you.

Till then stay beautiful and confident

The recurring dream hasn’t let you sleep sound isn’t it?

So are you up for the challenge?

Yes, beauty pageants and Modelling are almost like a challenge you take up in life.
Its not like other professions where you report to work do your job and back home. In a sense a lot to do with travelling, adapting to new places, staying under the arclights, going for auditions time and again and phew!

This is just the beginning…

However if everything done professionally and the right way can yield great results for the future. Earlier people would criticize modelling for being a hobby or side job but today Modelling is the profession. Everybody wants to taste it…

The money is good, the travelling is great and the circles have widened. But the bigger truth is how one enters the field. Contesting at the prestigious Miss India, Miss Universe, Miss World and so many more newer pageants is a probably good/ clean start.

Beauty pageants need a renewed Personality

Tips to enhance your Personality just before the beauty pageant

Your personality is the the only thing you can take charge of and control. While some people buy new clothes, other hunt for branded attire to make them look great from the outwards.

5. Like I said, always associate with people who are successful, happy and encouraging. Seek the companionship of others who can give you new points of views, renewed hopes, and meaningful life.

6. Be social- Social gatherings can increase your circle of friends. Social events can likewise give you new insights and experiences. It can help improve your relationships with other people and your community. Social gatherings can help you develop your communication skills.
