Miss Hong Kong
So I watched Miss Hong Kong live at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Sunday because my mom had tickets. It was actually the second time I’ve watched it on stage, the last time I went, I was 5 so I fell asleep (I was a big sleeper back then, you could scream into my ear and I would still be sleeping). I don’t really remember what happened the last time I went since I was unconscious.I never liked Miss Hong Kong pageants because a) it’s sexist, b) the girls seem so shallow and superficial and c) most of the contenders look like plastics. The girls people consider ‘pretty’ are usually these cheap looking girls with fake/plastic faces. I can’t even tell the difference between some of them because they’re all like freaking Bratz dolls.
The show mainly consisted of the girls doing these really retarded things that made me want to cringe. Like in the beginning, they did a candy ‘dance’ where they kicked their feet around and brought their fingers up to their lips and winked at the camera. But personally, I don’t see anything attractive about posing like Doctor Evil.
The whole thing was like watching a live action Cardcaptor Sakura or one of those anime shows where the girls ‘transform’. It’s cute when it’s an anime but when you do that stuff in real life, it gets a bit creepy.
The worst part was when they had to walk around in skimpy bikinis and answer questions that are supposedly relevant to society like “Should kids wear bikinis to school?”. The fact that they’re asked such callous questions is a travesty in itself, but then they have to stand there in a bikini while they’re answering them. It’s like they’re walking sex furniture or something.
Half way through the pageant, there were these performances by some famous people (who you probably won’t know unless you live in Hong Kong or watch TVB).
This looks like an orgy scene but it’s actually Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui and Ron Ng performing a song
Then after that, Kevin Cheng and Raymond Wong appeared in a white sports car and started singing something that didn’t sound half bad and past Miss HK winners came on stage to dance with them
The girls posing at the front are the past Miss Hong Kong winners. I can only recognize Aimee Chan, Mandy Cho and Tracy Ip. Kevin Cheng and Raymond Wong are the guys standing next the white sports car, surrounded by slutty dancers
Near the end, as they were about to call out the final four, all the girls started crying because they said they would really miss each other. And the old man sitting in front of us was like “WOW THAT’S REALLY SEXY. I AM SO TURNED ON RIGHT NOW!” The security guard thought he was a pedophile so he went up to him and asked to see his tickets.
Anyway, after a lot of weeping and drum rolls, they announced the 2010 Miss Hong Kong…
She’s one of the better looking ones in the competition but her smile still creeps me out
So even though I’m not a big fan of Miss Hong Kong pageants, it’s kind of a guilty pleasure because it’s good to know who wins as the winners usually go on to become celebrities and when they’re all famous you can be like “I KNEW HER BEFORE SHE WAS FAMOUS HAHA LOSERS.” Plus you get to make fun of the weird things they have on set like this unicorn:
Haha, Dr. Evil. Looks just like him. I’m not a fan of pageants, period. I’ve never watched Miss America or anything, just because the girls are too stupid for me to care about. I should be Miss America. I’d be the one in a turtleneck or a one-piece swimsuit. “Why do you deserve to win?” “Because I don’t look like a tart. Pick me or die.” I’d be the most awesome/threatening Miss America ever. Seriously.

She does an excellent Dr Evil impersonation… maybe the new candidate for another Austin Powers movie? Lol, anyhow, I had my fill of pageants growing up!
And thanks for the comment, love, I am trying to learn wordpress, but I gave up on making my own theme until I get the pages down decently, lol!

Id love to watch a pageant. And Id love to be IN one too! Id just worry too much about. Plus your right when you say they all just look plastic. Some of the bigger winners, like miss world and things, are quite pretty. I could never make myself look fake though. Have you ever seen Miss Congeniality? Id worry it would happen something like that, and Id have to dumb myself down in order to participate.
Ah well.

Hello Rainie!
Sorry for like leaving you again, haha. I have an excuse — I went to Philippines! I already told you that about a milllion times but let’s make it a million and one times. ^^ Yay.
Wow, that sounds cool watching that live! Haha, I laughed at “(I was a big sleeper back then, you could scream into my ear and I would still be sleeping)” I’m not a BIG BIG sleeper that when you shout in my ear i don’t wake up, haha. You were only five after all.
I know what you mean, some of the models look exactly the same. It’s creepy, your just thinking “Did they use clone jutsu from naruto” or something. You wouldn’t get the joke if you haven’t seen Naruto but I KNOW you have ( I think). ^^
LOL, those two pictures together look so funny. They do pose like Doctor Evil.
HAHA. yes, wearing bikinis on stage is really sexually encouraging.
So Rainie, your a vampire like Edward Cullen who can read minds?! So you knew that that old man was thinking, ““WOW THAT’S REALLY SEXY. I AM SO TURNED ON RIGHT NOW!” ” Haha.
Her smile is pretty creepy… I think I wont be sleeping well tonight.
I love reading your blogs hun!
This one is one of my favourites! ^^
See ya round. ^^
Bye.

Gah I HATE the Miss HK pageants. My mom doesn’t like Tracy Ip at all because we saw her in the yacht club yelling at a watier for a plate of dried beef noodles. I always hate how the girls look like sticks. Hong Kong and it’s skinny obsession. If you want to represent Hong Kong, please choose someone with womanly curves and not a stick. Plus, their faces are kind of the same.
Hahahha those performances are such a joke. They’re funny to watch though, for pure insulting pleasure.
LOL Doctor Evil poses. They always show in the “news” about the Miss HK progress, showing how they’re all rehearsing. All those dances don’t even look a bit rehearsed. Pah, it’s Miss HK. No one expects much from it besides boobies and legs.
My mom always like to show off her entertainment industry knowledge and said that the winner was some relative of an actress, so it was probably rigged. I don’t think she’s even that Miss HK worthy…

I dislike pageants as well, they’re just so exist. Especially with the women parading around with swimsuits and clothes. I recently watched Miss USA and that waste of a time…The ironic thing is that most of them think they’re changing the world or something.

I don’t think I can say that I’m completely anti-beauty pageant. I totally agree that they’re disgusting for the most part, but it’s one of those “so bad it’s entertaining” kind of things. As soon as I see any backstage stuff, though, that usually ends it. Pageant people are nuts. They’re so fake in every aspect of their lives, even offstage. It seems backwards to us, but I guess it’s inevitable when you spend your whole life doing that kind of thing. Have you ever seen Toddlers and Tiaras? I don’t know if they show it in Hong Kong, but you should watch it if they do. It’s a wild experience, lemme tell ya. O.o
Oh, and that unicorn is really silly. The crane and everything else is actually kinda nice. It almost seems like someone came in at night and grafittied it, haha.

Pageant? I have nothing against them really. I honestly don’t. But they just get silly. They’re the sort of things that takes bullet-proof organization and brains to get right because their so susceptible to shallow stupidity.
Here are people who are willing to be pretty to get fed (not that they eat much, anyway), you CAN’T ask them questions about anything more intellectual than “How many fingers am I holding up?”. Because you will be just asking for trouble and slander.
Oh and weeping? Who’d be weeping? This is meant to be completely, 100%, happy-or-die unicorn land? Remember? No weeping. She won? I’m not bitter. Again, you’re just going to have to trust that I’m being honest. But to be honest, that smile needs some “smile clinic” lessons. I thought they were meant to perfect the tooth to gum to face ratio before going on stage.
There is of course a thing with models that is they all look the same. As you said even supermodel Doctor Evil. I can’t tell very many model apart except by hair color and race which is pretty basic. Once airbrushed, you just get a “perfect” model (as if in 3-d diagram) of a human.
Also by the way, I’ve listed your hosting service in this article: http://www.windymill.skyness.org/ronblog/general/the-list-of-non-commercial-web-hosting.php. I hope that is okay with you, if not please contact me so I can remove you. Thanks!

LOL at the unicorn. That’s crazy lol. That’s practically how every pageant is I feel. The worth of beauty is more emphasized than intelligence. It’s pathetic. I don’t pay attention to any program where the women have to walk around in bikinis because that defines what they’re truly looking for. It’s pathetic. But every generation it seems as if human kind evolves so I trust the only place we can go is forward
