  • Among the Beautiful People
    Page 1 of 3 Among the beautiful people November 8 2003 12:00AM The politics may be deadly but in Venezuela gorgeousness is a patriotic duty. Nicholas Griffin meets the ‘Misses’ and the men who remake them Last month I travelled to Caracas, to act as a judge in the Miss Venezuela competition. With 80 per cent of the population watching the pageant on television, Miss Venezuela commands a much greater audience share than any FA Cup Final. In international beauty competition, the country is dominant, having won four Miss Universes, five Miss Worlds and three Miss International titles in the past 24 years. It is said that Venezuela has two great exports: oil and beauty. The former accounts for more than 90 per cent of GDP, but despite this source of wealth half the populace lives in poverty, a legacy of poor government spanning generations. Even with the oil millions at its disposal, the current Chavez administration persists in blaming its failings on private enterprise and imperialism as it tries to force an unwilling nation towards Cuban-style communism. Beauty, on the other hand, is much more accessible to the average Venezuelan. Whether you travel on the subway or walk the finest shopping streets, you will find men and women who care deeply about how they look. It is estimated that 20 per cent of average household income is spent on beauty products and enhancements. With such interest, it is little wonder that winning the Miss Venezuela title is considered a genuine achievement. As a result, competitors in the pageant come from all walks of life, although the 20 entrants who make the final cut are invariably university students.

  • Masculinity in Men Beauty Pageant
    12/23/2014 Finol Masculinity in men beauty pageant José Enrique Finol Ritual, by focusing in the making and remaking of the body, produces the sociopolitical context in which it takes place while also attempting to transform it. Catherine Bell Introduction Men beauty pageants were the following natural step after women beauty pageants spread almost all over the world. Those who handle this kind of shows knew that male body was also a product they can merchandise as they have been doing with the female body the last thirty years. If this step came slowly it was because the process of reducing the semiotic differences between masculine and feminine was also slow. Masculinity and femininity were two extremes of the gender differences meant to express not only a sex difference but the separation of two worlds and two cultures. Men not only establish their own world as an affirmation of their identity and control, but also as a rejection of a feminine world they always charged with negative connotations, and, consequently, placed at the bottom of the cultural and social scale. Any meaning related to feminine was presented as inferior, and the women body was always seen just as instrument of pleasure and reproduction, even as ornament of a triunphant man. Its mysteries were always source of fears, and, consequently, feminine body had to be controlled and mastered. Seen not as an equal body, women¹s body had to be under surveillance, and under a process of identification and, by doing so, a process aimed to make women¹s body different.

  • The Philippines)
    Of Pageants and Feminisim: The Ms. Universe 2015 in a Feminist Lens Ms. Aiko SHIMIZU (The Philippines) Just this 28th of January 2016, Ms. Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach did her homecoming special at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. She finally had her victory walk after not having the chance to do so because of the announcement fiasco that happened last December during the Ms. Universe 2015 held in Las Vegas. There is no doubt that Filipinos are proud of the crown Ms. Wurtzbach has brought home judging from the adoring crowd that awaited her during her parade last Monday. (January 25, 2016). After 42 years of not winning the crown, a Filipina is once again Ms. Universe, the first two winners being Ms. Gloria Diaz (1969) and Ms. Margie Moran (1973). There is no wonder why Filipinos are just glowing with pride. As a Filipina I too am glad for Ms. Pia Wurtzbach and her win. But as a feminist who is against any form of female objectification and promotion of impossible standards of beauty, I do not support beauty pageants. In these competitions, women parade in their bikinis in front of a panel to impress them with their looks, talent, and intelligence. It’s as if women need validation for all of those. Furthermore this sexist tradition perpetuates the thinking that only women who are thin can be considered beautiful judging from the absence of plus size women. I am not alone in my opinion towards beauty pageants, most feminists are against it as well. One remarkable event to note was the Miss America protest of 1968 when hundreds of feminist activists gathered on the Atlantic City Boardwalk and distribute publicity materials saying “No More Miss America!” Their main concerns were: the impossible standards of beauty, female objectification, and perpetuation of the double standard on women (Madonna/whore fantasy) in which men irrationally want women to be innocent yet provide sexual gratification at the same time.
