I can't believe i am writing about beauty pageants. But the fact is... all the world locked on monitors to watch and tweet about the Miss Universe thing. Admit it, Miss U is the next big thing for September after commemorating the Twin Tower bombing last Sunday. Somehow, it is nice to forget that tragic remembrance and focus on something that is alluring and ethereal.
As we all know, Trish is the girl who's making me alive right now and she is a certified fashionista just as Lauren Uy is one. So that's it, I have to stay abreast with those stuff. Plus, being a director myself I have to know more about staging because Miss U and all other pageants are simply... production [now, we're gradually entering business topic and I hate it. I consider myself a metro-sexual. A straight guy [things we need to clarify for the girls] ,yes straight but very meticulous and and considerate of the feminine mindset. I take a bath two times a day [ok, ok, three times]. I am learning how to cook under my Mom's guidance. But still, its awkward to do write ups about analyzing what happened in the Miss U pageant.
So I decided to talk about their voluptuousity. Gosh! I still can't. i always feel that writing about women's body will endanger my future. But honestly, people love to talk about it. And who knows, maybe people also love to read about it and blog about it. Too much has been said and written about the process of elimination and choosing a crowned beauty queen so let's not deal with that.
As of now, I want to talk about something that arrested the attention of almost 200 million people around the globe who are keeping their eyes close to every details of the pageant. And so, the swimwear portion happened. We all know about this. It is the time when all the top 16 contestant will ramp on stage like models wearing their ,of course, swimwear. First one to walk before us is Miss France. And just a minute after her ramp, a lot of men twitted about her body particularly those two cheeks behind her which is described in twitter as ...huge.
Needless to say, the world loves to look at it. Today's people is conscious of how their back looks like especially when one will appear in camera. Some directors are very delicate when shooting an artist if that actress doesn't have a good body, they fake the shot. You know what I mean. Girls want their lower back to appear extremely lovely and large.
This scenario brought me back to April's royal wedding. When the world forgot about the prince and the new princess at Piffa Middleton, the sister of Princess Catherine showed how voluptuous her body is. She wore a fit white long gown which enabled us too stare at that huge rounds of flesh that she use when she sits and shit.
Why all this fascination about rear skin?
The answer to that would need a lot of research, culturally wise and psychologically wise. For most of Arab Mediterranean and Cypriot countries their culture includes hitting women from behind. Men in there love to enter the forbidden door. And most of the westerners use the name of that hole to mean for something annoying and worthy of hate. Like when they see a person that is stupid, they call him an A**h*** or simply an A**. It is like saying that twice in every minute.
So, just right after the wedding. Piffa received a lot [as in a lot] of offers. One of the most reported breakouts was that Vivid Entertainment founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch sent a letter to the younger sister of Kate Middleton, offering her $5 million for "just one explicit scene". Actually, they wanted her to do an adult film simply because her back became an obsession. And following the expose of her dancing photos.
Now, how much are we willing to pay to see our favorite artists wearing thongs or probably stripping all off? This question is just so timely now that showing one's behind in our local movies is becoming ubiquitous. Last time we check, it was the movie "My Neighbors Wife" which had Jake Cuenca baring it all except for the front. Then showing next week is "No Other Woman" which according to rumors will feature the cheeks of Derek Ramsy. At the recently concluded Cosmo Bachelor's Bash, Enrique Gil, the most promising star of this generation already showed his mountainous white treasure by removing portions of his undy. Needless to say, the world is becoming permissive with this kind of act or shall we call performances. Is this a part of new explicit culture? What culture could it be? Are we venerating talent or invading somebody else's private parts?
Just lately, the photos of Scarlett Johansson, a star of beauty and class, leaked in the internet and I guess we were lucky to see that. She is now coordinating with the FBI to spearhead the hunt for the hacker who they thought leaked the photos. The first question is why is she keeping images of herself with her rear skin hanging out without the towel? Why is she keeping photos of herself undressed?
These and other things while the entire populace is waiting for Ashton Kutcher's nude episode in One and A Half Men. How much is a celebrity's behind worth? And how long will this mass voyeurism continue if not stopped by a firm etiquette? Questions that lead us to how much respect are we still giving to each of us; to our body. And while we are feasting over their two moons, how much time are we spending to neglect their talents?
