Youth icons are born through beauty pageants.
Competing in pageants made me hyper-aware of the unfair expectations society places on women in terms of youth and beauty. But it also gave me empathy for women who use beauty as a creative exploration. When expressed healthfully, dressing up, doing hair, crafting makeup, etc., is an art form.
Beauty pageants, you're only judged once. Sorority rush, you have to go through 20 parties.
In France, they call the beauty of youth 'the evil beauty.' You don't have it because of you but because you're born with it. The other kind of beauty is your own work, and it takes forever.
I never went in thinking, "You're an African-American woman, so you're never going to win." I was just in career doing beauty pageants for the experience, and to show my brains and talent and help break stereotypes. It wasn't like, "Oh, I'll become a star. I'm beautiful." I never thought I was pretty. I couldn't even put on eyelashes or makeup. When you come from an environment that's military, and they don't stress that topic of aesthetics or beauty pageants and makeup, there are a lot of things you just don't have that city girls have.
I felt like I was not a cute kid, and I remember seeing people transform. It was actually when my sister was in the beauty pageants and I was in some pageants. I didn't win any. I always got that like, participant trophy, but I fell in love with the way makeup could transform people.
Happily there exists more than one kind of beauty. There is the beauty of infancy, the beauty of youth, the beauty of maturity, and, believe me, ladies and gentlemen, the beauty of age.
Priyanka Chopra has been my biggest inspiration. She has created her own brand and represented India not only in beauty pageants but also through her acting and singing talent.
My beauty icons - and this sounds cheesy - have a beauty that comes from inside.
The truth isn't meant to be pretty, that's for beauty pageants.
Beauty pageants work as a platform from where you can reach out to many.
The relevance of beauty pageants in the Philippines is that it gives people hope.
Youth! There is nothing like youth. The middle-aged are mortgaged to Life. The old are in Life's lumber-room. But youth is the Lord of Life. Youth has a kingdom waiting for it. Every one is born a king, and most people die in exile.
If you think beauty pageants are all about perfections, then I am sorry to say, it is not like that.
My grandma loves beauty pageants, like most of Latin American culture, but it's not for me.
I was never my own type so I completely missed my beauty all through my youth.
The most important beauty is not that with which you were born, but the beauty of character which grows through a woman's life and maybe never stops growing.
