Beauty, Brain, Bikini?

I have nothing against beauty pageant. If people think beauty should be celebrated and awarded, then so be it. Besides, it is sometimes quite amazing to see how God's creation could be so good. And I agree fully with their 'defense' that the event does not only celebrate physical beaty but also intelligence as well. Well, you got to have some brain to function as they do, and to reach that place in the fist place.

One thing I don't understand is the bikini. Beauty - okay, you make them parade in their national / traditional costumes, party dress, or whatever. Brain - you ask them good questions. Bikini? What does it have to do with all that? Breast measurement doesn't correspond with anything, and the lenght of their smooth legs are irrelevant. What if their hips / waist ratio is slightly off? It doesn't affect one bit of the perfection of their bodies and the function of their brain.

Bikini session also discriminates women who are nevertheless beautiful and smart, but choose not to reveal all of their bodily treasure. But then, perhaps, those women would not enter such event at all. So we may never know.

Beauty and brain - that would be more than enough.
