La Colombe Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Is it really time it was brought back? I'd never heard of it. I thought all that kind of thing had been consigned to history. I suppose it could be just the thing the island's swimsuit industry needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you agree or not is different, but she is saying it is a very different thing to the swimsuit era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 Yeah I 've listened to it now but that's a bit like saying we should bring back Mind Your Language. But all the students should be white English people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all the students should be white English people. Is it? Have no strong feeling either way about it, but the message I got was that it's more about recognising women for their real achievements rather than vital statistics (and ability to play the guitar, work with children and animals and desire to travel the world).

2112 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 These beauty pageants have had their day, no matter how you dress them up, make them woke and politically correct, inclusive and diverse, the concept wouldn’t work, or at least there will be too many comparisons of the days of old. That’s not to stop individual people who may wish to enter regional events, but the IOM should steer clear of hosting an island competition, there are better ways of promoting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different from any of the bodybuilding or fitness physique shows, which seem to be getting ever more popular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
