Swimsuit Contest Shows The Ageless Beauty!

By: Vic Darbourn
 

Today the swimsuit contest hardly raises an eyebrow. Over the years they have come in for their fair share of criticism but regardless they are now accepted as part of the good old American way. Even if some of us think the whole idea is distasteful, there are many that think quite the opposite. Such as the girls who enter the swimsuit contests.

On a positive note, the swimsuit contest has launched many a successful career in the fashion industry. Of course a great number of girls enter these contests solely in the hope that they will be recognized as an up and coming new star. Top swimsuit models have reached star status, and are now on equal footing with the extremely highly paid divas of the fashion industry.

Of course the fact remains, that some women just seem to be born to strut around in a very brief bikini and they look simply fabulous. The problem of course here is that most of us would never be able to enter a swimsuit contest, well not a serious one, that is. Most of us simply have too many curves in all the wrong places.

The swimsuit contest by its very nature is responsible for many women judging themselves far too harshly. This can lead to feelings of embarrassment, inadequacy and unhappiness. These 'perfect' number ten bodies are impossible for most of us to achieve.

The swimsuit contest is often responsible for great positive changes in people's lives. Just witnessing a contest is often enough to inspire a woman to make changes to her eating and exercise habits. Pre-summer swimsuit parades will also have the same effect, and if it all makes for a happier, healthier person then this is a very welcome bonus.

It can't be denied, that the swimsuit contest has been responsible for raising significant sums of money for worthwhile charities. This can represent the major fund-raiser for many organizations over a twelve month period. The organizers will argue quite successfully, that these women are being judged on their obvious physical fitness, grace and posture.

Some of the more famous swimsuit contest events are those held as part of the Miss Universe and Miss America titles. This section although obviously still very important, is not as prominent as it used to be. Public outcry has been responsible for the swimsuit section now only receiving around 15% - 20% of the votes. Interestingly a national survey concluded that well over 80% of the population were in favour of the swimsuit contest remaining.

Whether you believe that the swimsuit contest is an unnecessary exploitation of women or not, it is certainly here to stay. For most of us, these long-legged svelte looks can never be achieved, no matter how much we exercise or diet. Hopefully though, we can look and appreciate, but not get too caught up in a beauty that is really only skin deep.
