Internet Beauty Pageant / Online Beauty Pageant

Welcome to ‘The Ultimate Beauty Queen™’, Internet / Online Beauty Pageant ©2005 and model search.

Pageants, Contest and Searches.

Beauty Pageants have long served the purpose of advertising and exhibitionism. It is assumable that they will never wane in popularity. More than two billion people every year watch pageants on television alone. The various titles may change hands and the purveyors may come and go, but the concept has been and will always be here. The earliest recorded beauty pageants were held over 3000 years ago. Our definition of a beautiful woman is one who appears healthy, fit and has a positive attitude. Attractiveness is a matter of personal opinion only and does not necessarily contribute to a woman's beauty. While this is our definition, it may not be yours and we are sure you will agree that here is no single answer to the question "what represents true beauty in a woman"?

Contestants in beauty pageants seek recognition, acceptance and benefit. Those who win major pageants today are granted instant “legend” status and all the accompaniments thereof. There is no logical reason why women who seek recognition, acceptance and other benefits should not participate in these events. Many women understand that there are personal, community and social benefits that fused the beauty pageant into our modern society a very long time ago. The only irritant that thwarts women from participating in these fulfilling activities is the use of judgment criteria, and the various negative byproducts they spawn like “eating disorder epidemics”, “negative stereotypes” and the like. 

To understand all of this you must first understand: beauty standards differentiate by latitude and longitude, so there is no way that a classic beauty pageant or model search, with limited entry from selected areas and then judged by selected individuals could properly identify the ultimate beauty queen or a winner of a global model search. The closest you could get for a true result would be who had the most votes. Unless, the criteria for selecting a winner were so extensive (much too extensive to ever be useful for practical applications, such as beauty pageant or model search judging), that they could cover every possible area one could find fault in, according to general consensus. Obviously the solution here is not to use any specific judgment guidelines for selecting a pageant winner since that in and of itself, would be a limiting factor.

People by nature are judgmental and are easily coerced into voting. Actually, we Love it. Our governments, legal systems and most other mechanisms are controlled by voting since this is the easiest way to find out what the general consensus actually is. Once you know that, it becomes very easy to “give the people what they want”.  Today, with the advent of social networking and the popularization of the mass poll by advertising juggernauts like American Idol and Myspace.com, it has become common place to determine difficult things by using more than one vote. Actually, it has become the preferred way to determine choices like…”Who is the winner” ? 

People will normally vote as they wish until they encounter stress. The stress applied can be as little as “were looking for a fit, attractive and healthy body type that is appealing to western marketing standards for beauty as defined by x magazine, x show and x advertiser”, furthermore “we are looking for someone who will be able to perform as a this, that or the other” and furthermore “we are looking for”…etc ad infinitum.

So, we know voting works in large numbers, the definition of beauty is different for each person and that "we" like to pass judgment.  What now?  

The internet is the next most powerful and widest spread communications medium to come into existence since the invention of radio technology over a century ago. People love being "online". The internet will eventually replace all types of communications and media delivery, other than radio. While this change may take generations, it is inevitable. Television, Telephone, Print etc…have little chance at ever re-gaining market share since they involve too much logistical overhead including the cost associated with having to worry about aesthetics and convenience. 

The concepts involved with an Internet or "Online" Beauty Pageant are not new and have been around since the early 90’s when several Internet Beauty Pageant sites like 'Miss Net' were placed online and people saw that a beauty pageant or model search over the internet was a logical evolution. The problem back then was that there were very few people logged online, to the Internet. Today, Internet usage is around sixty (60%) percent of the global population or roughly 3.5 billion people. In the future, Internet usage will rise and nearly everyone will be “online” nearly all the time...but this is at least 10 years away.

An Internet Beauty Pageant (sometimes called an “online beauty pageant or model search”) involving as many judges and contestants as possible, is the only feasible mechanism to find out who is ‘The Ultimate Beauty Queen’ and next ‘Top Model’. Internet Beauty Pageants actually allow participation on a much larger scale by women who may not have wanted to or were unable to devote substantial time and resources to pursuing such goals previously. This newest form of pageant offers a more accurate and fair system for selecting a winner, which is the use of an internet sized cross-section of judges who vote online using nothing more than a 1 to 10 rating system and their personal opinions.

Our pageant is the modern day manifestation of the classic pageant concept of selecting a beautiful woman as the winner of a contest based on appearance and personality. Beauty pageant winners traditionally have been those who have pursued such goals by participating in said events, sometimes at great personal sacrifice and financial burden. 

There are an innumerable number of beautiful women on the planet who do not participate in these classic events due to many of the factors detailed here. Well, we decided to change that. Join us and “Support your local beauty queen” © 2005 as she competes along with movie stars, models, queens of industry and other beautiful women from around the globe in the greatest ‘Internet Beauty Pageant’ of all time. Welcome to the future.
