What is Beauty About Anyway?

The existence of beauty pageants can be traced back to the earliest centuries in Europe. During those times, the May Day King and Queen are chosen as a representative of the country and its traditions. Usually, it is young and beautiful women who are chosen as the May Day Queen.

In America, the first-ever beauty pageant is staged way back in 1854. However, this pageant did not push through because of public protests and criticisms. Its organizer, P.T. Barnum, then settled for a photo contest through newspapers. It was in 1880 when another organizer staged another contest using beauty as its theme. This happened in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and it was dubbed as the "Bathing Beauty Pageant". Aside from beauty contests, the event was organized for business promotion purposes as well. Since then, it became an annual festivity and women from all across the country joined.

Perhaps one of the most grandiose and anticipated events when it comes to beauty pageant is the Miss World competition. Participated by candidates from different countries across the globe, the winner has the opportunity to bring honor to her country. Aside from this tremendous chance, the winning candidate will also have the opportunity to represent the organizations' principles and advocacies.

Beauty pageants took another step by incorporating principles supported by the generation it represents. As what Miss Jamaica World 1967 Laurel deMercado observes, she says that during their time, being a beauty queen means visiting factories and hospitals. Today, beauty contestants are more sociable and seem to have more fun. Miss Jamaica World 1999 Desiree DePass, on the hand, notes that during her time, the talent competition is not part of the program. She relates that incorporating this event added spice to the competition by having the opportunity to win over the judges, promote social skills and camaraderie.

In addition to the wonderful experience, the winner is sure to take home lots of beautiful experiences like travelling around the world, meeting different people and sharing other cultures. Being a beauty queen also offers lots of career opportunities. As what deMercado puts it, beauty queens nowadays earn a lot more money than her and other beauty queens during her time. This is very true with Miss Jamaica World 2007 Yendi Phillips as she graced Jamaican television every Friday and Saturday via a TV program that she hosts.
