Nice Girl. Goood luck to her!
Go Chelsea you have my vote!
Good luck to this young lady..
However, I think we should have a Mr. Bermuda Pageant and showcase the men how you they showcase these women.
Yeah, Mr. Bermuda Pageant. How many out of wedlock children you have, how many fights your Momma fought for you, how much ink you have, and how many times you been up top, are the prerequisites.
That was uncalled for. These are showcases of the positivity going on in the island, not the negativity.
@Opressed, I am going to assume that your last post was an attempt at ‘humour’. As a Bermudian male I find it decisively unfunny and insulting. What makes matters worse is that it is completely untrue. Even on an exaggerated view of the Bermudian condition your comments would be way off base. The majority of Bermudian males are not in jail bound irresponsible fathers with meaningless tattoos. Let’s stop with this nonsense. If you want to respond intelligently and enter into a true debate about this, use your real name. Otherwise, give some thought next time before you comment on my Bermudian brothers.
A wider point: I do not agree with the concept of “beauty pageants”. That goes for males and females. It perpetuates the belief that beauty is an objective quality and that it is right for it to be judged by others. It also seems to confuse the concepts of beauty and sexual attractiveness, often times appearing to make them interchangeable. They are clearly not and conflating them has negative effects on our society.
Chelzea, I wish you the very best in your studies.
Amean!!!! I second that. I can contest that Kyle Master is a great father and not a dead beat.
Amen*
Way to Chelz!
Your Dad would be proud.
All the best in whatever you do.
