Aiming for the World

Since the whole thing is misogynistic to begin with… Maybe that’s just a bad picture, but I thought, regardless of non bleached teeth or looks or lack thereof, these contestants are taught how to smile instead of grimacing?

Beautiful.

I expect all the feminists will be here commenting soon, moaning about this pageant, basically out of jealousy.

Is 2024 Miss World beauty pageant contestant Ms Kiana Tomita, the tallest?

 regardless of non bleached teeth

 -You must be American! You people have an unhealthy fixation with white teeth!

And she knows how to smile as I checked out her Instagram. That is just a bad photo!

Well. . ..

@mountainpear

I am American, thank you.

to represent Japan in the 2024 Miss World beauty pageant.

I'd love to see someone actually explain what that entails.

Something about world peace and children, no doubt.

OMG, that’s the best they could do?

I could take a ten minute walk in Ginza and find a dozen better…or Akasaka

Or Saitama.

She's not bad looking but man, they could find better lookers standing outside Yokohama station for just 5 minutes right now. As for the others in the picture...

She’s ok, average at best.

Exactly.

Clearly, she is crying with joy

Whenever one if these pictures of a beauty queen is put up, inevitably there are the guys with the "my local 7-11 has far better looking women working there!", and

These guys are kidding themselves - and we know they are the polar opposites of male models themselves!

This kind of evening wear is old fashioned and not very flattering any more. Nor is the hair and makeup that goes with it.

It sounds like Kiana san is an academic who's 28, and its great that you can win a beauty pageant being both of those things. She's done some tv work in the past, and if it funded her very extensive overseas post grad studies, then so much the better. I only skim read some info about her, but it sounded like her speciality, or one of them, was post-disaster communication, something which is actually very important and can save lives.

Well, beauty is subjective, so maybe they are right as well (in their opinions).

I personally think Ms. Tomita is beautiful, as well as

Kiana is a Ph.D. student at the Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability (GSAIS), University of Kyoto, Japan.

She also holds an MPhil in East Asia and Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Japanese Studies from the University of Edinburgh.

intelligent,

She investigates what methods of communication are effective for disaster prevention at different phases of disasters

does work that can save lives

under several climate change scenarios

and lives in the real world.

No need, works like a charm.

You can speak for yourself that I do know. I hate to break it to you, but just because a woman is picked by a bunch of men and the woman is given the title best looking, queen, or Ms something may NOT be physically the best looking to others, remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, JT puts a photo of this woman and now we all have to agree and thought and then if one critiques the woman differently from the group that guy is a jerk? Sorry, I am not part of the collective and have my own taste and standards, I am not saying the woman is ugly, she's to me average at best, and yes, I can say that, I don't have to agree with the majority, come on now.
