Wowsers, you have no reason to force your negitivity on people that belive in all kinds of beauty. In a world filled media in which women are portrayed as blond, skinny bimbos with no personality or brains, women and girls need someone to look up to. These pagents provide a place for women to find the realistic role models that they need. Belief that women are beautiful is not, as you so crudely put it, 'crap'. It gives me hope that not all people are bitter and insensitive like you, but that pure good still resides in some of us.
