We have always tried to define beauty and perhaps will continue to do so. But like a common adage states, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" (all though this may not necessary be so- since appearance can be deceiving).
We all definitely would agree that irrespective of height, weight, size, color, or proportion, beauty is that unique thing that makes you stand out.
Ironically, the most glaring imperfections have laid foundation for certain beauty trends. For instance, fuller top lips vs thinner bottom lips.Six African countries participated in the pageant. The countries represented are Nigeria, Cameroon, South Sudan, Sudan (3rd runner up), Liberia (2nd runner up), and Sierra Leone (miss Africa-Iowa). Miss Africa-Iowa would represent Iowa, at the nationals in Maryland later this year.
Thanks to modern technology and modern medicine, a person can undertake cosmetic surgery procedure to alter their outward appearance. So next time you look into the mirror and notice that scar glaring at you like the moon on a cloudless night, remember that beauty is that thing that differentiates you from others. It is your "Unique Selling" point (according to advertising)... So if we all concentrate on our individual uniqueness think of how many new trends we can set…
Talking about beauty trends, last weekend was Miss Africa Iowa. It was a fun filled event that brought to focus major issues pertaining to women such as rape stigma and female discrimination, women empowerment as well as other continental issues and their effect on African women...
Somethings we like about the pageant:
1. It is a good example of beauty trend setter
2. Beaut and brains - something we can never get enough of!
