P19.Qxp Layout 1 Thur Established 1961 Lifestyle TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2019 Newly crowned Miss Universe 2019 South Africa’s Zozibini Tunzi waves from stage after the 2019 Miss Universe pageant. iss South Africa was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday in Atlanta after a Mlavish ceremony filled with glitter and heartfelt speeches about female empow- erment. Zozibini Tunzi, 26, finished first ahead of the Puerto Rican and Mexican finalists in a flashy tele- vised event, hosted by American comic turned TV personality Steve Harvey. Television personalities Vanessa Lachey and Olivia Culpo served as backstage commentators, and a panel of seven women determined the winner. Tunzi earned cheers during her closing speech, a new seg- ment of the competition, in which she talked about wanting to empower young women to feel confident. “I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful,” she said. “I think that it is time that that stops today,” she said to thunderous applause. Tunzi beat more than 90 con- testants from around the globe in the 68th instalment of Miss Universe, which was held in Atlanta’s Tyler Perry Studios. The two favorites ahead of the com- petition, Miss Thailand Paweensuda Saetan-Drouin and Miss Philippines Gazini Ganados, did not make it Miss Universe 2018 Philippines’ Catriona Gray (right) crowns the new Miss Universe 2019 South Africa’s to the final 10.

  • Reinas De Belleza De Puerto Rico: 2018-2020
    Reinas de Puerto Rico Según el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una reina es una mujer que ejerce la potestad real por derecho propio o una mujer que por su excelencia sobresale entre las demás de su clase o especie. Las primeras pertenecen al viejo mundo y las segundas son del nuevo. Puerto Rico ha sido prolífico en reinas. Ya en el Siglo XIX se celebraban fiestas de pueblo donde se escogían a sus reinas para celebrar el triunfo de la espiritualidad sobre la frivolidad y como representante de la monarquía regente. Reinas de Puerto Rico es un intento de identificar todas las damas de nuestra sociedad que de una u otra forma han representado a sus pueblos o al País en los reinados de carnaval, fiestas patronales, fiestas especiales y certámenes de belleza. Estas jóvenes pertenecen a la historia folclórica de Puerto Rico y con este trabajo le damos reconocimiento. ¡Qué viva la Reina! Flor M. Cruz-González, ([email protected]) Bibliotecaria Profesional, Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Arecibo. Agradecimientos Al presentar este proyecto que tomó cerca de ocho años en realizarse y que presento en un momento tan significativo para Puerto Rico, quiero agradecer primero a Dios que rige mi vida y me ha traído hasta aquí. Muy en especial al Sr. Rafael “Rafin” J. Mirabal Linares, por toda su ayuda con el material fotográfico, información y asesoría, al Sr. Confesor Bermúdez, por presentarme a Rafín, por siempre mantenerme al tanto sobre los certámenes de belleza desde que era uno de nuestros estudiantes y por brindarme el ánimo continuo con su gran sentido del humor y talento.

  • Miss Danmark Et Modsætningsfuldt Ideal
    MISS DANMARK ET MODSÆTNINGSFULDT IDEAL Kandidatspeciale, Kommunikation 10. semester. Vejleder: Lars Pynt Josefine Løvig Rasmussen, studienr: 20171308, [email protected] Anslag: 191,921 ≈ 80 normalsider 1 ABSTRACT Although beauty pageants have never had the same mass appeal in Denmark as they seem to have in countries such as the USA, they haven´t completely faded into vague, kitschy nostalgia either. The pageant “Miss Danmark” seems to have been thriving on its own in the periphery of the pub- lic eye for almost a century. This thesis investigates the pageant seen as a platform for a gendered performance of a feminine ideal. Additionally, this thesis sees the ambassadors, judges and contestants of the pageant as cultural manufacturers, who construct and reconstruct the competition’s feminine ideal through a rela- tional discourse about looks, styling, clothes, behavior, values etc. I apply a discourse analysis of the communication originating from Miss Danmark’s website and Facebook site, as well as of interviews with contestants, mentors and judges found in the documentary Miss Perfect (2019). I am interested in investigating which understandings of ideal femininity are expressed as norma- tive, which qualities are emphasized, and which are reprimanded. Furthermore, I investigate the structure of the pageant. The feminine ideal is also constructed and reconstructed through the pageants structure, as it contains certain mandatory requirements for participation, a number of disciplines in which the contestants’ performance can be judged, a number of rounds with different dress and rules, and a system in which certain performances are celebrated through sashes, prices and high placements in the competition, while others are not.
