Beauty Pageants: Pompousness & Circumstance
In the days since Miss California paraded her fake boobs up to the microphone and proceeded to make her ludicrous, ignorant and divisive remarks about gay marriage she's managed to stick her high-heeled foot even deeper down her throat by joining the campaign against gay marriage. We wonder if pageant organizers realize that these actions are going to result in the loss of a key group of fans and supporters--the gay community--if they don't distance themselves from this bubble-headed bigot.
There's a famous Samuel Johnson quote that says "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". In keeping with the Miss California stance and other anti-gay rights cretins we can update that quote by saying "religion is the last refuge of a bigot".
In spite of political advances these past few months it still seems like there are certain sectors that have regressed and become LESS open-minded. A few years we attended an AIDS charity event "Battle For The Tiara" (now known as "Best In Drag Show")--a drag parody of beauty pageants. At the time it was getting big word-of-mouth audiences and celebrity judges---including a former Miss America. We don't recall her name but she had used her crown to help promote AIDS funding and gay rights. Her appearance at the show wildly applauded and appreciated and she couldn't have been happier to be there. Can you imagine that vapid Miss California doing anything like that? Ugh. Not in this lifetime.
Beauty pageant organizers can be an inconsistent lot. They have no problem with the fakery of breast implants and whatever other surgical procedures the girls go through to get ahead. That's not considered cheating. If someone like Vanessa Williams appears nude in the past----disqualification! The contestants are paraded around like sex objects but doing nude photos is verboten...go figure
That's what recently happened in the Mr Panama contest. Mr Panama 2009 Ryan Oliver was stripped of his crown when it was discovered he had done a solo video for Sean Cody as "Andy". Ah the hypocrisy. The male contestants probably were paraded around wearing next to nothing, getting all sorts of catcalls and whistles. But that's okay. Doing a jack-off video way in the past? Scandal! It wasn't as though Ryan Oliver's talent competition was a "reenactment" of his Sean Cody--although the amply endowed stud might have won more points. We hope that Ryan Oliver/Andy doesn't fade away but use this disqualification to his advantage.
