Pageants.

Last night, I was watching the Miss Sydney Chinese Pageant, run by the Hong Kong TV network TVBJ. I have been watching these kinds of pageants since I was like, what, three?? When I was growing up in Guangdong, I used to watch the Hong Kong one. I noticed that over the years, all the girls got, haha no offence, uglier and uglier. The only pretty ones were the ones who flew back from Canada( Canadian girls are really pretty:) *Rae* ), otherwise, they looked like they were uncomfortable on stage and looked like they didn't know how to walk in heels. Bad image, girls! I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret: I have actually always wanted to compete, even though I would be like 4 sizes too fat for their bikinis and have the shortest legs out of all of them in the competition. But seriously, those girls, they can't speak chinese!! HOW CAN YOU REPRESENT THE AUSTRALIAN CHINESE POPULATION IF YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK YOUR OWN LANGUAGE PROPERLY.

Well anyway, last night, I just realised how STUPIDLY entertaining thee kinds of pageants are. During the question time bit, they always ask the same questions about marriage and boyfriends and stupid things like would you rather be a stapler or the staples; in turn the girl would give some shallow answer like, ' I would rather be the stapler, so I won't have to be the staples, being hit by the stapler'...or ..'Well, I think the modern woman should value her independence and get married later in life' and other generic, coming-of -age answers, that are stupid and totally two dimensional!! It's like if you said something slightly radical, or act like serious feminist(what feminist would participate in a pageant, where they rate how hot you are in a bikini??!?!?), they will immediately deduct marks. Man, that thing is so stupid.

In other news, this pretty layout is really really bothering me...
