Miss Ukraine World 2012 - Karina Zhironkina
The Belarussian girl is sort of beautiful. I say 'sort of' because in these contests there are rarely any beautiful women. I remember watching the contest when Iceland won and I was like - 'really?'
I know, right? I hate Miss World or any beauty pageant for that matter. It's degrading, judgemental and even more subjective than ESC

Nah, I know Ukraine and Russia can do much better than these.

Have to agree on that. There were SOME pretty ones, though. Anyway, you can find more beautiful girls just by walking in the street than in any of these beauty contests.
Degradanting in What..?? Sorry i have to disagree with you, we live in a society where the women take the beauty contests more than an experience and awards, they win publicity, many friends and contracts for work everywhere.... and that's a lot of money
The beauty as Matt said is subjetive, there are girls who look better in person than in pictures, or had better brains than others, but you must see it in your eyes.
It gives people, especially young girls, a wrong impression of what beauty supposed to be. I have no doubt that it gives a lot of girls great exposure but why aren't their any healthy (by that I mean not skinny) people part of the contest? That pretty much applied people with some extra weight are not as pretty as those that look amazing in a swim suit.
We live in a society where we dicated what hot and what's not and it just doesn't set a great example for our kids who already suffer enough from self esteem issues. I know I sound PC but I personally strongly disagree with the pageant concept.
Because it is all about what the majority likes, if the majority decides that a beautiful woman must look like this and this, the definition of 'beauty' is formed. For example, I'm tired of Internet articles about Adele, saying that she's successful even though she's a bit overweight. This 'even though' implies that she should not have been successful with her current weight. How rude!

Miss Russia 2012 - Elizabeta Golovanova
Oh, I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to be in pageants, that's entirely up to them. All I'm saying is that I strongly disagree with them for the reasons mentioned above.
And don't get me started on those kids version, we have a Reality show here about that as well. Just terribe.
