It’s been a while since the last good pageant
It has been a while since my last post. What has happends since then??
Well I’m single again. Not gonna ga in detail about what happened. That is between me and her.
My mother came and visited. She stayed 6 weeks and now she’s back in holland.
My sister moved in with me. My sister was a teacher in a small city in the interior for the last four years. Now she is gonna teach in the big city. Welcome back lill sis.
Miss Suriname
Last friday the miss Suriname pageant was held. I’m gonna give you my impressions of what happened. Important to know is that I did not attend the pageant. So I’m giving you the view of someone that did not see it from the front row.
There is a reason why I wasn’t there. The publicity they did caused me not to wanna go. First of all they made a hip-hop music clip with all the contestants wearing bikini’s shaking their asses and basically just be the cheap eye candy you see in most of the hip-hop clips. Every body that knows me knows that I love women, I love the way they look and I love them in bikini’s. BUT I do not want to see a girl that is gonna represent my country to portrait herself as a cheap bikini hip-hop eye candy girl.
A miss should be elegant. She should be a example and being a cheap music video girl is not an example.
I addressed this to the organisation in a mail and I got a reaction. The person reacting to my mail only reacted to the bikini part. She told me that miss USA competed in a episode of fear factor. And she was eating cockroaches etc. Did that make here any less of a miss??
Well I saw that episode. Miss USA was not there to portrait herself as cheap eye candy. She was a contestant that had to face difficult obstacles. Completing those obstacles was being an example and an inspiration.
I don’t really know what the qualifications are to become a contestant in the pageant, but after looking at these girl I think they need to re-evaluate the qualifications.
Another reason I couldn’t take the organisation seriously was the website. A website for a miss pageant that is gonna choose a girl that’s gonna represent our country in the miss universe competition can not look like this. No the design is acceptable but there are a lot of death links. The most important link is a death one. You click on contact and you get a 404 page. This means the page you want to view does not exist. There are a couple of these death links. In the photo gallery section they did something no web developer does anymore. They used frames.
For some strange reason the news section is blog with a design that doesn’t remotely resemble the original design. With no link back to the main site.
Now a organisation that does international pageants and with all the sponsors they have, I would guess they could pay for a designer that does a better job. Nobody can tell me there was no money for a better designer. A normal ticket cost SRD100 and a VIP ticket was U$400. U$ 400 is a months salary for a lot of people. A lot of people don’t even earn that much a month.
I started to watch the pageant live on TV but the lack of quality bothered me so much I turned off the TV. Here are a couple of examples of what I saw. There was a bad cheap Brazilian dance act. And if I say bad I mean bad. I had the feeling I could do better and I can’t samba.
There also was a belly dance act. Well in my time in Holland I got to know a few belly dancers and they showed me what they could do. This girl was only doing the basics.
They girls themselves where not properly prepared for the questions round and every one of them chocked. I heard the dumbest answers.
The next part I missed but my sister told me about this. The vice president of the organisation had to come on stage to tell the audience to stop booing etc. The audience expected a lot more from this show and they did not get their money’s worth so I can understand why they acted like that.
The girl that won the pageant did deserve it. She was the best of all the bad contestants. From the beginning you could tell she had what it takes. I only wished she could have won the crown is a pageant that deserved to be called a pageant.
I am seriously wondering how this organisation can still have the right to hold the miss suriname pageant. What can be don to revoke that right and give it to a organisation that can give us a pageant we deserve. No I don’t believe I can do it. I know I can’t. But there has to be someone that can and wants to do a better job.

You can see what I mean by a bad site with death links.
