    This story does not pluck my emotional strings.

      Miss Teen USA gives up title days after Miss USA resigned

      Concerning Miss USA's resignation:

      Voigt’s resignation sparked a heavy reaction on social media, with many pointing out that the first letters of her first 11 sentences of her resignation post spelled out “I AM SILENCED,” though it’s unclear what that means, or if it’s a coincidence (the entire post spells out “I AM SILENCED HIP,” for the record).

        What's the point of these competitions? Is it an attempt to make really attractive but not very bright people feel better about themselves? If so I honestly don't think they need the help.

        I was only joking

          Thank you for the question. I personally believe all humans are attractive, both inside and out, and the brightness you mention actually refers to our future. Thank you. Thank you. <walks off stage>

            They are beauty pageants.

            They are used to identify the most beautiful.

            Some people like to look at beauty.

            This is important work.

              Seems to me like there's more than a hint of the old Jeffrey Epstein vibe going on with that Miss Teen thing.

                This got some play on Tik Tok (I'm shocked). In any event, it would appear that the competition has some new management - and perhaps being a bit overzealous have pushed an agenda that they feel must be implemented immediately rather than wait 4 months to the crowning of a new person. I expect it reflects some stupidity impatience on their part - and will result in a bit of unwanted attention.

                  They have been competing for 10 or 12 years by the time they reach Miss Teen.

                    Why?

                    Aren’t there more productive and d spiritually fulfilling extra-curricular activities for children other than feeding their parent’s egos?

                    Some sports - not all, mind you - martial arts and music come immediately to mind. I am sure there are others. That is after all, what pageants for little kids, girls in particular, are all about.

                        I'd rather have bought my daughter a collection of kazoos than have her take that stuff up.

                          https://www.newser.com/story/350145/miss-usa-lets-accusations-fly-in-resignation-letter.html

                          The first title holder in the pageant's history to voluntarily step down accuses Miss USA CEO and President Laylah Rose of disparaging her and ignoring a case of sexual harassment in a resignation later obtained by NBC News. "There is a toxic work environment within the Miss USA organization that, at best, is poor management and, at worst, is bullying and harassment," the 24-year-old writes. She claims Rose, who began running the organization last year, was often uncommunicative, "cold and unnecessarily aggressive," at one point telling someone "she hoped I would get hit in the face by a baseball at an event where I would throw out the first pitch."

                            I find it very hard to believe that beauty contest contestants would be rude and unpleasant to one another. They always look so pleased when the other person wins, after all. They are after all what renowned songstress and poet Bette Midler referred to as the wind within one another's wings.
