Don't take our word for it!

KLKillahs received some flack for dissing the Miss Vasantham contest, judges and contestants, that I feel it time to give credibility to our reviewers. [Of course, all dissidents of the movement were appropriately ignored and their dissent noted in our little 555 notebooks.]

Here are some blog entries, randomly picked by our friends (aka Google Blog Search), that prove that KLKillahs truly has its finger on the pulse of the community it serves.

Ydae i watched Miss Vasantham on Central. and i suppose this is a much awaited show for many indians out there.. i cldnt watch the first episode but i managed to watch the second episode and it turned out to be a disappointment for me. firstly, the contestants didnt perform well and there were malay contestants. Ok, let me make this clear, im not discriminating against the Malay.. but one doubt, if Suria were to host a beauty pagent, wld they take in Indian contestants?

i heard from sources that during the first episode, one of the judges commented on the girl being oversized for the show. i just dont understand one thing.. why stereotype? Like oh pretty girls are supposed to be slim, perfect body, perfect hair, perfect smile and bla bla. why do they concentrate mostly on the outer beauty? there are girls who are more beautiful in character wise, arent they considered beauties as well? there were contestants on the show who are slim and have long hair, but once their mouth are open... u can sense that chinese/malay accent in their english.

i dun really know why i watch beauty contests…it could be because i don’t know any ’spiritual blondes’ in real life, and am curious to understand how their minds work. also, some of it is downright funny, and laughing at other people makes me feel better about myself, etc, etc. moments:

1. as reported by a friend. the only way this exchange cld have slipped under my radar, which it did, is if it took place in tamil, which is i believe what happened.
Judge: you have really nice hair. tell me, how did you get your hair to look so nice?
Contestant: oh thank you. many people compliment me on my hair.
Judge: err yes…but how did you get it looking that way?
Contestant: i think it’s…my smile. it just brightens everything up.

2. Host: if you had a chance to meet a world leader, who would you pick?
Contestant: george bush
Host: why?
Contestant: because…[starts giggling] he’s really cute!
mercifully, this contestant has been knocked out. the one who made the gaffe about the hair is still in.

3. stupid judge moment:
Elamaran: so tomorrow’s your birthday. tell me, what do you want for your birthday?
Contestant: just having my family around me will be more than enough
Elamaran: you don’t want any material things?
Contestant: no, i’m not materialistic
Elamaran: then why are you in this contest?
Contestant: being in this contest doesn’t mean i have to be materialistic
Elamaran: what is it about, if not materialism?
maybe he needs to look ‘materialism’ up in the dictionary. that, or he needs to broaden his perspective a little.

4. fazila goes nuts (or, has a moment of clarity) and starts talking about how she thinks the world is going to end.
Fazila: you read the newspapers every day and so many bad things are happening…so many terrible things…innocent people are dying…and that’s why i think the world is going to end soon.
Host: the whole world. is just going to end. ?
Fazila: yes
Host: so what are you going to do about all the bad things that are happening?
Fazila: [look of incredulity] what. can. i. do?

judge: what is the one thing people dont really know about you?

contestant: "oh they dont really know that im actually a conservative person. and what you see my wearing on screen, *jeans and tube* i usually dont dress anything like that. i have very homely values and a strong traditional sense.

oh really?
cause i thought that good and traditional indian girls with proper values and principles wouldnt usually blow off a guy on the back of the bus when she thinks no one's looking.

*appaluse please*
keep up the good work! you bring hope and inspiration to every indian female member in this population.

talking about media.
yesterday i watched miss vasantham. not bad. there was this contestant, which reminded me of a transexual.... err but she got out anyway.
that aside, my votes would be for fazila and anita. obviously even if we were allowed to vote i wouldn't waste my bill for all these, but u get the point.
