Miss Vasantham - 1st Round

With all the recent brouhaha with reference to our True Blue Indian Beauties (yes blue as in the colour of their most morbid eyeshadow shades) , i thought i should give my 2 cents worth. I mean what fun is there when these ladies put themselves out there to get slammed and we don't slam them enough right?

However, since a lot has been talked about in terms of appearance, i thought i had might as well blog about their recent KLKaledeiscope on tv. Yup, i'm sure lotsa you wanted to check these girls out(for more reasons than one) and would have sacrificed your Sunday evenings(you could have been holding hands with some uurus in Tekka ensuring that our road safety gets no safer than it already is) to watch these girls in skin.

I thought it was hilarious since almost every girl who made the "Cannot Make It" List, made it into their lists. Why? Lack of participants? Need to eliminate later? Need for mangammas in rounds to come? I seriously don't think i want to know.

I find it incredulous that a teacher who looked fairly pretty didn't make it because she lacked the confidence but our mangamma who pronounces "heart" as "hard" got through. What have we become? A society that condones stupidity but decides that when the wallflowers try to take a step forward, we will push them out.

Question: Does sex SELLS?

Bad enough that Najip has grammatical issues, but the answer that followed was hilarious.
There she went, ranting about how she uses her "hard"(maybe she really wasn't talking about her heart.It would have made a lot more sense.Hmm) and she still makes it?

But the girl with big big eyes looks like a normal Indian girl, but every Tharshini,Harini and Dabukku Mukku Meenatchi with their hair looking like it hadn't been washed in ages looked exotic?

Why put a Malay judge for an Indian show in the first place? Yes, Beauty is universal and I'm not saying that he's not qualified enough to judge beauty. However, if you insist that Miss Vasantham has to have these qualities that make her essentially an Indian, don't you think that you should be able to more than just effeminate, able to say vanakkam and host a few shows to judge her capability?

And then we have the Deejay who somehow always gets called to judge these shows. I think he's some kind of a pervert. What with his, I would like to see you more and then a stylish(attempt) flick of the buzzer follows. Throw in a cheeky grin and a bald head and he'd be starring in our B-grade 12'O clock Sun Tv movies as a villain already. I understand if he was perhaps in the industry - no being a celebrity deejay does not cut it really.

And ladies. Start answering the goddamn question. If you don't understand it, be honest enough and go "Thirrupi Sollureengala?". Memorising proverbial phrases such as "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" isn't enough for you spout at any opportune moment. We all watched Miss Congeniality and its sequel. Thank god, no one came up with "World Peace".

So stop telling these girls to show more of their teeth, when their teeth are stained with years of tobacco or worst lack a filling or even a tooth(yes, one of our corpse brides doesn't have a tooth).

Stop telling them that you love their hair when you really don't know what lies beneath(no seriously, i don't). Tell them the truth, because if you don't give them the reality check, who will?

Oh right. I forgot. Thats what we are here for.

So here's my tips for answering the dumbest questions some of these judges come up with. After all, if you aren't pretty nor clever, you might as well be memorable.

Qn:Does Sex sell(s)?
Ans: Sorry Sir, I'm still a virgin. And i don't believe in selling myself for the Crown.

Qn:What kind of a man are you looking for?
Ans:The virile kind.

Qn: What made you wear this today?
Ans: Gee. I don't know. I pranced into my neighbour's closet and took the first thing i saw. What do you think Einstein? The thought that i may look good in it. Maybe? Just maybe?

Qn:What will you do with the title?
Ans:You mean the sash? I will hang it around my window so all my neighbours can see!

Oh and by the way the best has yet to come.. For next week we watch their talents. Fire eating anyone?
