Why are they called Beauty Pageants when all they seem to do is bring out ugliness?

I watched a documentary recently about the Beauty Pageant scene in the US.





Couldn't believe what I was seeing with all the bitchiness and catfights and buckets of money spent!Why are they called Beauty Pageants when all they seem to do is bring out ugliness?
They should be called the makeup beauty pageants. I seen a documentary a couple years ago and i know what you are saying i could not believe how them women would fight with one another and the money was threw the roof. they should take that money they spend for them dam pageants and help charities. the plastic surgeons are making enough money from them women. have you seen some of them without makeup.. gosh i look better first thing in the morning then most of them do in the evening with no makeup. Another thing i do not agree with is them kid pageants either..if they are going to put them little girls as well as them old girls in pageants they should be natural beauty not makeup and hair spray and god only knows what else they are doing to look that good.


They should make beauty pageants for inner beauty they get them women oh I'm going to do this and that but when they are back stage out comes the claws! the ugly person inside shows and makeup can not cover a person ugly inside!Why are they called Beauty Pageants when all they seem to do is bring out ugliness?
...no idea... it is weird though, you have a very good point
Hey, thanx for choosing my answer. i had no other way to get in touch with you. Hope you don't mind.Talk to you later. Maybe?
yeah, I'm still waiting for a beauty contest with no cosmetic in there. Lets see if those girls dare to face a camera without make-up!!!
Beauty Pageant inspires women to remain beautiful and healthy....so ladies keep themselves fit...it's sexy to be fit.... so I think theres no harm spenting some on Beauty Pageant.... Beauty queens are the inspiration to beautiful people..
