The prize of becoming a well-known, being a celebrity or a beauty queen for that matter, is the fact that you are exposing yourself - down to every single details - to the public who will be like your stalker. This is a nightmare but this is true. This is madness.
There is one thing we should imbibe in us before taking the first step of becoming a beauty queen or a public figure. Delete all our files we are having in the internet like from those in social networking sites like Facebook, Friendster, etc. Most of us love to post pictures and neglect to delete it at times we were supposed to do it.
Just take this case of a Miss Lebanon - Rosarita Tawil. After she won, racy pictures of her taken obviously in her private moments surfaced in the internet.
WELL FIRST OF ALL, GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!; LEBANON IS NOT A MUSLIM COUNTRY, ALTHOUGH HALF THE POPULATION CONSISTS OF MUSLIMS(THE OTHER HALF IS CHRISTIAN)!. THE PRESIDENT OF THE LEBANESE REPUBLIC IS ALWAYS A MARONITE CHRISTIAN!; AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT WAS THE MARONITES WHO HAD FOUNDED LEBANON!.
ReplyDeleteSECOND, YOU MUST EITHER SEEK A GOOD PARE OF GLASSES OR GET BETTER ONES BECAUSE ROSARITA TAWIL IS NOT TOPLESS IN ANY OF WHAT YOU INSIST ON CALLING HER RACY PICTURS!. AS IF NO RACY PICTURES HAD EVER BEEN DISCOVERED ABOUT PAST CONTESTANTS OR BEAUTY PAGENT WINNERS!; THE RAIGNING MISS U.S.A IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IT IS NOT THE MISS WORLD PAGENT THAT ROSARITA IS GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN, BUT THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGENT!. I FIGURE YOU MUST BE EITHER A RED NECK ARAB OR A JEW WITH AM AGENDA TO BLACKMAIL ANY CONTESTANT FROM AN ARAB COUNTRY!. WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR 'GOOD BOOK', WHATEVER THAT IS, AND LEAVE MISS LEBANON ALONE!...OH YES, AND A FEW COURSES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WON'T DO YOU ANY HARM EITHER AS YOUR TEXT IS FULL OF SPELLING MISTAKES!
I would like to answer Henry. The pictures are there for you to see and those are classified as racy in my standard. I don't know how you define racy. Probably you have something in mind. But try to look the its meaning in your dictionary to understand the word better.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are not really a beauty pageant lover, Rosarita Tawil was Lebanon's representative to the 2008 Miss World in South Africa last year where Russia Ksenia Sukhinova was the victor.
Rosarita will be competing AGAIN for the Miss Universe 2009 in Bahamas. That's her second time to participate in an international pageant.
Lastly, I view Lebanon as an Arab country.
Of course Lebanon IS an Arab country and I never said anything to the contrary of that!; But there's a difference between saying that Lebanon is an Arab country and saying that it is a Muslim country!. As you probably know, there are Christians in each and every Arab country and especially in Lebanon where Christians consist of nearly half the population there!. It is very important NOT to equate being an Arab to being a Muslim!. As for Rosarita having participated in the last Miss World pagent, I didn't know because I follow mostly the Miss Universe pagent, which seems to be a lot more publicized than the Miss World pagents!.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing that I forgot to mention: Although the definition of topless is not wearing a 'top' apThe fact that Rosarita Tawil covers her breasts completely with her arms in all her pictures, makes a big difference between her's and other topless women's pictures in the sense that you do NOT see her breasts!. One last thing: You mention in your article that the fact that those pictures have been discovered may do Rosarita Tawil harm, know that the very fact that YOU wrote your article does her a LOT more harm than the pictures themselves!...Think about it! Henry.
ReplyDeleteBut if you are in the Arab world, Miss World is more famous there than the Miss Universe because of the British influence in your region
ReplyDeleteHenry, first of all, im not the blogger.im a regular reader of this blog.well, obviously you have a different interpretation of what is racy so we can never meet half way.
ReplyDeleteI have not lived in an Arab country for the past 30 years!; Unfortunately, the cable channels in the city where I live only provide a live coverage of the Miss Universe pagent!.
ReplyDeleteOne last word...I certainly and sincerely hope that Lebanon NEVER becomes a totally Muslim country, NOT because I have anything against Muslims(I was born and raised and lived in predominantly Muslim quarters in Beirut), but because we've seen a perfect example of a country which became fully Muslim, i.e. Iran, and I hate it's influence on our own Lebanese society!. Another example is that stupid store in the heart of Ashrafieh, a Chritian area in East Beirut, which refuses to sell Alcool and porc!...with all my respect to Muslims all around the world: LONG LIVE CHRISTIANITY, WHICH IN MY OPPINION EQUALS LIBERTY!...In the muslim religion, anyone who does anything wrong is condemned to death, wheather it is adultry or homosexuality, whereas Jesus said: 'Come to me and I'll cure you'!; He even forgave Marie Magdeline for being a prostitute and as a result, she stopped those activities and became a devout follower of the Christian religion!
Enough said...Subject closed!
Hi Henry. I understand your points. I have been living in an Arab country for the last four years and I have Lebanese friends also who share the same sentiments as you. But first, I am not an Arab. I really understand you and I know where you are coming from. I understand.
ReplyDeleteI would like to share my opinion also on what you have said but since this blog is very open and popular I refrain doing it since I don't like to spark outrage from other readers of this blog who might be offended on our beliefs.
But thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for your understanding and having taken the time to answer my comments!; God bless!. Henry.
