Miss France Hits End Of The Road For Beauty Pageants:

Valerie Begue: Miss France 2008
Miss France 2008 will keep her crown, despite racy photos that appeared in a gossip magazine, but will not compete in the Miss World or Miss Universe pageants.
Valerie Begue, 22, will not be stripped of the title she won Dec. 8, but will not be allowed to take part in upcoming international competitions, Miss France organizers said Friday.
Begue described the outcome as "a compromise that satisfies all parties."
The pageant's criteria stipulates that candidates must "never have posed or exhibited in dubious outfits or poses, partially or totally nude."
Photos published in Entrevue magazine last week included one of a bikini-clad Begue lying on a cross in a swimming pool and another of her licking what appeared to be yogurt or evaporated milk.
Begue is a native of France's Indian Ocean island of Reunion. She is to be replaced in international pageants by the first runner-up, Vahinerii Requillart, Miss New Caledonia.

We very well know what happens in all such beauty pageants.
In my opinion judging beauty for competing with one another is not only insulting beauty but insulting life as such along!
The moment we come to our senses, we come across a world around us where every single person is running to overtake the other.
There is war going on within our own self in order to be a good girl or a good boy, or else nobody is going to love us including our mothers - that's what they always keep telling to us.
We are always on our toes; ready to run the race of winning over the imaginary bad girl/boy inside us that we have been made scared of by our elders.
And then in the school, they tell us to run the race of competition with our fellow students.
Not only our studies, but also our sports are designed on the lines of war only.
More so, even our pursuits of art and beauty...all so famous beauty pageants!
