I'm back on the road again. It's been about 3-4 months since I left the Bay Area for work. Caught an 8am direct flight from SJC to ORD (Chicago) with a coworker and now here we are in Skokie, IL. The place ain't too bad...One surprising thing is our hotel. You've got your typical DoubleTree Hotel and Convention Center, but this weekend... *drum roll*... is the "Miss Teen International" competition! So, there are 100s of hot teenaged girls running down the hallways. I wanted to read up on this "moral" competition and so I came across this webpage: Miss Teen International 2007.The thing that made me laugh in this article was the statement:"The national competition includes a private interview with a panel of esteemed judges. This portion consists of 40% of the score and is the most critical component of the judging process."OK, so a huge portion of 40% is based on non-beauty qualities. So it's critical? What is the other 60% (majority) based on? Oh...well...hmmm. It's based on 3 competitions in Fashion Wear, Fitness Wear, and Evening Gowns! Wow. So isn't the "most critical component of the judging process" looking and being pretty? You can't fool me Miss Teen International! Never!!!Labels: beauty, chicago, competition, entertainment, fashion, girls, travel
