W.W.W.D.?????

What would Wilhelmina do?

Well maybe her real life alter ego Vanessa Williams who back in 1984 was asked to resign her crown after naked pictures of her surfaced during her reign as Miss America. I only ask because since then it has pretty much been built into every Miss (Fill in the blank) contest a clause about naked pictures of contestants.

The current and still reigning Miss California Carrie Prejean recently had nude pictures of herself surface, proving she lied when she signed her pageant contract, and after about a week of being on the bubble Donald trump decided that she had suffered enough and was allowed to keep her crown. While Vanessa Williams is so much classier and was even quoted saying after giving up her crown “Success is the best revenge” Wilhelmina Slater, her Ugly Betty counterpart, would be about destroying all things Prejean.

My question with enhancements.

So there has been a lot of talk about enhancements in the news lately and my question is why? Why is it ok for you to enhance in this area of competition and not in another. Manny Ramirez was recently suspended for allegedly testing positive for a banned substance in his system. A Rod just came clean and said he took performance enhancements between 2001- 2003 and was roasted over the coals for it. There was even a congressional investigation back in 2003 over enhancement drugs.

So my question is why is it not ok in a society where you are literally given a pill for each and every issue you might think you are having is it not ok for these people who clearly abuse their bodies everyday wearing them out to take drugs to keep them going a little longer and a little stronger for the benefit of our entertainment.

And then there are those others which it seems are encouraged to use enhancements for their competitions that are suppose to have nothing to do with their body. How many women in beauty pageants are winning on enhancements? And why is that ok? Miss California Carrie Prejean was recently outed as the recipient of breast augmentation and enhancement but it is her nude pictures that might snatch her crown from her. I just find it interesting because we are always told that pageants are not about beauty they are about the brains and personalities of the girls, it’s for scholarships. Are there valid reasons for these double standards or are we just picking and choosing?
