You’ve probably heard a fair bit about the carefully planned (and quickly canceled) Miss Landmine pageant. I have mixed feelings about the cattle call of beauty pageants, but do agree with the general idea behind this one: that the participants have a right to feel proud about themselves and their appearance, regardless of circumstance.
Without condoning, I think the cancellation shows how Khmer society is often leaning towards modern and foreign concepts, only to snap back to what feels more traditional and ‘safe’. (As per the Opera kerfluffle a while back.)
While beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the very concept of a local beauty pageant is imported from overseas.
The show is canceled, but in preparation for voting, entire catalogue has been put online. Make up your own mind: www.miss-landmine.org. Next: Miss Mozambique?
