In its article entitled "Tainted Tiaras" ABC news reported this morning on pageant winners being the target of blackmail and extortion in an attempt to make them give up the crowns.
Using some photos of Amy Polumbo, taken long before she was crowned Miss New Jersey, blackmailers gave her a deadline to step down.
She appears before a local Miss American chapter next week who will decide whether or not she keeps the crown.
YOu have to remember the Vanessa tribulations.
You have to view this from all angles really don't you.
Angle one:
People aren't perfect. They make mistakes and they move on.. This shows their strength of purpose, how they've grown.
Angle Two:
Pageants are a waste. This is proven by their inability to permit people who are strong and got past bad episodes in their lives, to move on. They must be seen as absolutely perfect. The Barbie doll image personified. They must not admit to ever having made a human mistake. Pageantry encourages dishonesty by virtue of what it says. You must be perfect.. and in reality, no one ever is.
Angle the third..
Are all beauty queens inherent idiots?/
I'm not saying that you don't make mistakes.. we all do.. I AM saying that if you made a mistake huge enough to lose you a crown, and you let someone PHOTOGRAPH you doing it. Then you truly have a great deal to learn.
