Miss Venezuela contest will no longer publish their contestant's measurements

2019-08-02

[IMAGES.DAWN] For the first time in its history, the Miss Venezuela contest will not publish the 24 contestants’ waist, bust and hip measurements, organisers said, as pageants face criticism for their primary focus on physical appearance.
Bolivarian inflation gave unreasonably obese numbers
The event, which will take place in Caracas on Thursday, has been running since 1952 and has an enviable record on the international stage, having produced seven Miss Universe winners and six in Miss World.

Traditionally, the contestants’ vital statistics have been publicised with a 90-centimeter (36- inch) bust, 60-centiment waist and 90-centimeter hips long are considered the ideal.
I don't think anybody watches those contests except for the fist fights and hair pulling events.

#5 The new criteria will be how much one has accomplished for the Glorious Revolution.

Boojwah concepts of "beauty" are tools of the old oppression.

#1 90-centimeter (36- inch) bust, 60-centiment waist and 90-centimeter hips long are considered the ideal.

For ongoing reasons, they are now accepting 24 inch busts, 50 cm waist and 65 cm hips, along with broken teeth and marks all over the body.
