"Chloe Rutter Jensen and Nick Morgan, lecturers at the Los Andes University in Bogota, have written a book called Parallel Catwalks: Scenes of the Aesthetics and Power in Beauty Pageants.

Even prisons hold beauty pageants in Colombia. Nick Morgan believes that, because it is a chauvinist society, women want to draw attention to themselves and get ahead in society by looking good.

"The whole issue of beauty pageants has a lot to do with power and money," he says.

"You could draw parallels with footballers. If you come from a working-class background... if you are darker skinned, look more indigenous or Afro-Colombian, football is one of the ways you can get ahead.

"For women, who by definition belong to a group that has to struggle to make its way in society, one of the ways of getting ahead is by looking good. That says a lot about the kind of society we are living in."

300 pagent a YEAR!

caslug Colombianas are more than just good looking. Attracting a guy is only half the battle.

They have to keep the guy coming back for more. IMHO that's were colombianas clean house.

Tis the season to be faja fa ja ja ja ja..ja ja ja And why not capitalize on this...One of the most sucessful businesses I have seen in Colombia is Fajate. (www.fajate.com) They sell fajas (girdles) and there´s a manufacturing plant and store on the 80 real close to La Mota in Medellin. The place is ALWAYS packed with gorgeous women (ok and some fat ones about to have the tummy tuck done). Remember, after the lipo or tummy tuck you need to wear one of these for like 2 months and with swelling and healing, you need to buy a few of them. Many women also wear them to accent their figures. I think caslug will be hanging there next time he comes down after drooling over the women at the palacio de las uñas. Now this gives me an idea. Maybe I need to start a tour of all these places.
