This past Saturday evening
while flipping through channels on
the tube, I happened upon the 77th
annual Miss America Pageant. I'd
watched bits and pieces of this and
other pageants before, but I suppose
I had never really taken time to look
deeper into these glamorous pro¬
ceedings.
Trie Miss America Pageant is
surrounded by the ideas of poise,
beauty, intelligence, and sophisti¬
cation. Each young woman is meant
to represent the best and brightest
available in her home state. The
eventual winner should therefore
embody the traits and ideals of the
all-American girl. But the problem
lies in defining just what those trajts
and ideals should be.
Il is obvious from the very be¬
ginning that all contestants attempt
to display their best game face.
Natural beauty is forsaken in the
name of gallons of globbed-on
makeup. Many of these Maybeline
masks would seem more appropri¬
ate on the face of a local rodeo
clown. Slight facial movements
seem almost painful, as if their
spackled exterior might somehow
begin to crack.
Despite the heavy cosmetics,
nothing shines brighter on these
women's faces than their painted on
smiles. From the moment they step
on stage, until the moment they
leave, their smiles never manage to
fade. Their faces become over¬
whelmed with an expansive wall of
pearly white teeth. Smiling is good
for the soul, and certainly can make
your appearance more pleasant, but
to smile as though your life de¬
pended on accomplishes neither.
My favoritcjvortion comes when
the contestants arc asked thought
provoking questions on timely pub¬
lic issues. Most never seem to ac¬
tually ansVer the question at hand.
Like graceful politicians they dance
around the answer hoping that
somehow the judges won't notice.
The answers they do give seem to
be cut from some sort of pageant
template. It essentially appears as
if they all read from responses they
wrote beforehand. Spontaneity is
the true test of intelligence. Any¬
one can look smart with time to pre¬
pare.
I'll admit, pageants are enter¬
taining. My worry, however, is that
some viewers might form the idea
that the contestants are the ideal
models of beautiful young women.
Nothing is further from the truth.
Beauty shouldn't be prepared or
faked for the sense of a title and a
tiara. The women on screen have
more in common with storefront
mannequins than with* any young
woman in today's world.
True beauty has to simply exist.
It can't be falsified with too much
makeup, or enhanced with over¬
priced evening wear. Beautiful girls
are intelligent enough to not parade
themselves upon a stage with blaz¬
ing attitudes and questionable
smiles. Television, although many
