Natural vs Glitz

I haven't posted in a while since there hasn't been any episodes lately. However, I've had a burning question in my mind...Is natural any better than glitz?

In glitz competitions, fake hair, tans, teeth, eyelashes, $3000 dollar dresses and loads of makeup are involved. Glitz for sure is the most expensive side of pageants. One of the messages conveyed in glitz is "You have to wear all this fake stuff to be beautiful."

Natural pageants ban makeup and anything fake, so when you win the feeling is "I'm naturally beautiful", which is off the bat a better feeling than "I'm beautiful when I have fake hair and eyelashes and makeup and tans". On the contrary though, when you lose the feeling would be "I'm naturally ugly so I should go apply loads of makeup, some fake hair and maybe get a tan." So, as you can see, natural pageant aren't necessarily as good as you would think.


So what are your thoughts? Are natural pageants still better than glitz? Are they both outrageous and ridiculous?

  1. i totally see what youre saying, but at a natural pageant it really is based a lot off of personality too because they often have interview type competitions included in the pageant
