Kamala Khan is coming up, who is Pakistani-American however so not quite the same as Indian and she can’t audition since the character is a teen (and it’s on Disney+ first but MCU is connected so Kamala will end up in film eventually). But if the goal is that she wants more superheroes who look like her and have a similar story like she said in the interview she is going to have it.

Ok... This was Michelle’s FIRST pageant and she did great. She does not have the typical body for pageants (short and muscular) she doesn’t know how to walk in heels, and yet she made fourth place. She she be proud of herself. So I was confused at the end when she was speaking on how “in-feminine” and unworthy she felt.

It indeed does not mean that a few pounds more is a big deal. People can also weigh too little, and models certainly do, most of the time. But people who feel empowered when they do not need to be skinny, are often the extreme obese people. It is very popular to say Lizzo is beautiful, but no, so is certainly objectively obese, unhealthy and also not pretty in any context. Somewhere between Michelle and Lizzo there is a vague line, where you can be fit or chubby and still be in perfect health. But once you start being unable to sit in airplanes, you are just too overweight, and nothing should stop you from abstaining from the chocolates, beers, fast foods etcetera.

As someone who took part in the Miss Vietnam beauty pageant, I was so thankful that the bikini section was not part of the pageant and was replaced with an ao dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) section. We previously had a plus size 1st princess as well. For us, it was very empowering and I found confidence in myself as well as became close friends with the other 9 pageant sisters. Yes, we called each other pageant sisters instead of contestants because something that was drilled into our minds was the pageant was not a competition with each other but with ourselves.

As an ex pageant girl (from another lifetime!) she KILLED her first interview and that is the HARDEST part of pageants! She played off her trip fantastically. It happens a lot. And swimsuit section. It’s not just about flaunting a body. It’s about highlighting and showing love for your body and taking care of it. It’s all about your perception of what you are doing. When you are walking out in that swim suit you are showing that you take eat great, exercise, and keep your body and mind healthy. Her beauty dress was so pretty. Her on stage answer was great. She made eye contact with both judges and the woman asking questions. She should feel hella proud. It’s takes some woman YEARS to even make top 5! Bravo! Also, Savannah looks like a vet. Just hearing her voice answer that on stage question, she has been around this life a while!

Right, but if the goal is to come away from that type of thinking, then beauty pageants are just keeping us within this cycle of thinking, and aren't helping us move forward. So even if they are representative of real life, they are holding us back from a positive change of thought.

@HoneyDaengdej

5 жыл бұрын

I agree that we should move away from that type of thinking.. and while using beauty pageants as the platform (or tangible representation for visualization of the problem) can be really helpful when discussing the real issue our society has with beauty standards and gender roles- I don't think we can say with 100% certainty that its the pageants fault that this type of thinking continues to exist. It really is a chicken and egg situation, because if there wasn't demand for a certain type of product, that product will not succeed (thus will stop existing). Which is why 2018 is becoming a year of so much change, especially in media and the corporate world, because consumers have started to realize that they have a say in what is offered. We began to put our money where our mouths are (for example with buying cruelty-free products, supporting film with representation, etc) and it's really making a difference. You can even see how pageants like these are changing to respond to public opinion.. Certain pageants getting rid of the swimsuit portion, including more diverse candidates, etc... however these are just the first steps and I hope we continue to try to make media and our society more accepting.. maybe that means getting rid of beauty pageants all together, maybe it means that these pageants need to change a LOT.. I don't really know.. but its conversations like these that are necessary to make a change (which is why I was so glad Michelle made this video) (ps. sorry for the essay haha I'm really passionate about this topic)

You looked beautiful on the stage. If I was judging you in my professional opinion ..

You can take the persona of a stunt double and add that in the walk. On stage QA & Interview YOU ROCKED THE ANSWERS AND IT WAS SO COMFORTABLE... I also do broadcaster hands so we both have to watch it when when we talk... SWIMSUIT I wanted a bit more modeling a hair flip or stronger snap turn...you have a fantastic body and maybe a ponytail for swim and some fun earrings could help the walk be even stronger Final Question, You KILLED THAT loved how you related the previous contestant in yours, your articulation is beyond impressive you should consider doing another Pageant and in your 1st pageant slayage.. I was 3rd runner up in my 1st Pageant and placed 2nd ru in my 1st professional Pageant so you did a great job. I as a man struggle with swimsuit competition due to my body. I win Interview and QA regularly and am brought up in ranks for it. Pageantry is a SPORT and the preparation is vital... Pageantry is sexiest because Male Beauty Pageantry isn't known, viewed, or understood...Were held to same standards you ladies do... Pageantry is an investment, a gamble, but a challenge.... I do fundly, gain donor's, drain my funds for it but it's my dream coming from the projects of Manhattan. I am not the typical male beauty pageant guy but with 16 crowns, 25 Nationals, published articles in 2 online magazines, and defying odds for African Americans it's made my 14 yrs in the world valued. I compete for myself, my esteem, and to prove you can do more when you're told you can't.. I will always advocate for Pageantry. I met the best ppl and seen half of our country thanks to Pageantry. to hold your own with Samantha Neyland and Savannah Wix who are stunning is an accomplishment. Plus you needed to speak with Miss World 1994- Aishwarya Rai, Miss Universe 1996- Sushmita Sen, Miss Universe 2000-Lara Dutta, & Miss America 2015- Nina Davuluri...

You have so much arm muscle, your arms are going to move differently than some other women. There’s a flexibility women tend to have because we have less upper body musculature - and if you ever did something like this again- work on flexibility of upper body/shoulders to help you move less stiffly. You do walk like a superhero though- which is very badass.

As a pageant girl my self, I believe they give you the idea to keep trying and be persistant. I competed for the title of National American Miss Maryland 3 times before I won the fourth. And it's kinda like sports if you thimk about it, one team wins the game the other team looses, but nobody says that it's giving the idea of not being good enough. I started at age 7 and have been doing it for 6 years. It's the best thing that ever happend to me. And in life someones gonna get the job and others aren't.

Of course the tall blonde got first place. She was absolutely beautiful. You could see her confidence and she did dominate the room with her presence. But you totally smashed the interviews! She must have been training for so many years to gain that confidence and natural grace. You had only been doing this for a few weeks, and you placed in the top three! So proud of you!

That's very incorrect. Let me first start by saying there are pageants that allow you to be married, divorce, have children, and everything else. In the case of this pageant yes it requires the women to be unmarried/never married and no children. It is correct they want a women with a clean background to avoid any possible scandal or drama. As for being married, as stated in the video, for the MUO system Miss USA moves in to the apartment in NYC with miss Universe for the year. Someone married with or without kids would not be able to do that.

I think the political question they gave you was actually very nice and probably well intended. During the interview and the first question on stage, you continuously brought up "girl power" and how in your videos you wanted to show girls what they can accomplish if they set their mind to it. So, how to motivate them to go out there and vote fitted right into the picture you painted all along.

@sparklemotion1018

It was a total softball question and her answer is why she didn't win. What she said made no sense. "Pay women equally and then they'll show up and vote" is inane. The answer should have included mentioning "registration," "outreach," and "education." Also, referencing other contestants answers is a mistake, as is starting every answer with "Oh my goodness!"

Michelle is so pretty and brave. I am so insecure of myself and I would never be that brave to enter a pageant. She looked great when she was in the pageant, but I understand that all people have their insecurities.

I couldn’t stop looking at her hands the whole time she was on the runway 😂

I do strongly believe that the Spider-Man answer let you down a lot. I know that you should always be yourself because it even got you that far with such an amazing aura you have. But I feel as though you could have talked about where you walked to get water or another one of your very impactful videos. It would’ve went with your theme of female empowerment really well. Overall you were gorgeous and you should be proud of yourself because I don’t think anyone would have gotten as far as you did with it being your first pageant.

I have to disagree with that. That answer demonstrated that she's a dynamic woman, willing to step out of her comfort zone and try new and risky adventures. If anything, it really demonstrates female empowerment, showing women can, and do, enjoy these accomplishments and activities, as much as men may, or may not. Her variety of accomplishments made her an outstanding and memorable contestant, which is great for priming the judges to hear the views she presented to the audience.

She is so good at engaging everyone's attention when she is passionate about what she is talking about. But I would also like to mention how her facial expressions and full on the the way she looked walking down the runway. Her facial expressions showed her personality but also she genuinely looked like she was having the time of her life and it was all just very alluring. She totally rocked the runway and looked absolutely breath taking.

Girl! It is truly amazing what you made yourself go through because it takes MUCH devotion and discipline. I think becoming third is HUGE especially considering that you had only 2 months to prepare yourself. Also, the way you answered all of the judges' questions were stunning! You are an AMAZING woman to look up to!

I love this! as a person with a lot of experience in pageantry and a current title holder, I loved hearing the different perspectives and watching your experience firsthand. It has taken years for me to accomplish what I have and I do have to add that being in these contests, takes a lot of time and definitely a lot of money. Making pageantry more inclusive is a step that these organizations will need to take in order to keep pageantry alive.

I don't know how ANY of these girls can come up with great answers on the spot like that. That is a ton of pressure, let alone the physicality they are judged on. WOW! Michelle you did us proud and give us shorties some goals to look as incredible as you did!

I feel like you didn’t give yourself enough credit for getting 3rd runner up. This was your absolute 1st pageant! You went up against ladies who have probably been doing pageants since they could walk, or even before. I was really impressed that you were able to hold your own. I don’t think I would ever try a pageant because I am plus sized, and even though they can remove certain categories to make it less superficial, it’s called a beauty pageant for a reason. But getting a look inside at what actually happens at a pageant was very interesting.

The round-table at the end was my favorite part of this two-parter. I appreciate that you guys included it.

I think your spider man answer let you down. You should have talked about the Walk in Her Shoes challenge when you walked to get water. That would have reinforced the woman empowerment movement pagents pretend to be about. I 100% believe you can empower women without making them walk in heels and a bikini. I 100% believe you can teach women to have confidence without wearing a ballgown and I 100% believe women can have a voice without talking to a panel of judges and therefore pagents arent needed.

I'm also getting a slightly artificial vibe from her, like she's trying to hard to be perky. She has an awesome personality so if she'd taken a deep breath and relaxed maybe I'd feel a more genuine vibe.

I am so glad to find out so many diverse women can be a part of a beauty pageant. The important part is not the victory but the part which is left with you after the contest is over. It's the journey of transformation from a self limiting person to a unbounded one. Thank you for sharing this video. It is too encouraging. 😎

Aaahhhh, Michelle, I love your ambitions! I actually wrote a fantasy-action novel where the superpowered protagonist was inspired by you (and in my head she looks pretty much exactly like you) and I honestly swear if, as like the eight wonder of the world, I ever make it far enough to sell movie rights, you will be the first call to audition for her role.

These videos totally made me change my perspective on the profoundness and meaning of Michelle's work. I believe she is getting to a stage of her career in which she is really digging deeper into more raw humanity and into the things that really matter in life. Having set the intention for the video totally brought a whole meaning. I love that she focused on people´s vulnerability, and talked about what nobody is willing to talk but paradoxically need to hear the most. Challenging and talking about controversial topics totally made me gain so much respect for Michelle and her work. Also, I loved that at the end of the video they made a reflection about the project´s intention (Are pageants sexist or empowering?), debated and shared their opinions, talked about their truths. Wow, absolutely awesome, really, very meaningful. I am absolutely into this type of content I´ll love to see more videos like these in her channel.. I´ve been waiting for this moment. Good jobs guys!

Hi Michelle, I was actually Miss Illinois-USA 1980, it was my very first beauty pageant ever and one year earlier I had been bullied by some senior boys, stood up by my prom date and had VERY LOW self-esteem which is something I have unfortunately fought a good part of my 57 years on this planet. My experience was JUST as you also found, conflicted, but I wouldn’t change the experience for anything in the world. It is/still is to this day even now, empowering!

There is something in your way of speaking that is so emotional that I'm always trying to hold back my tears 😂😭 so weird but this happens to me a lot when I'm watching your videos

Dear Michelle, I've stumbled over your "butler" and "etiquette" videos first; these two beauty pageant videos were next. You are doing great in each and every one of them and I am so happy I am going to see more of your challenges. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. I have seen you in your full warpaint and gear. Let me tell you: you are far more beautiful without heavy make-up. You are smart, energetic, adventurous and wonderfully articulate. That makes you a real queen, even if without a rhinestone crown. Greetings from Russia

Michelle is so well spoken. That is the reason that she made it to the top five. I would go to a gathering of smart women expressing their opinions but I would never go to a beauty pagent because it is so limiting. Also the whole idea of having to wear bathing suits for education is toxic.

Why wouldn't men of power and position not pluck any one of the Miss USA pageant contestants?
