I’ll be honest, I find the idea of beauty pageants seriously dated. I’m sure it makes the winners feel all gooey inside, but are we still parading women on stage in skimpy outfits in 2015?
If more of them ended like this contest in Brazil, however, I may rethink my take on the concept altogether. Sheislane Hayalla wasn’t exactly pleased about being named runner-up in the Miss Amazonas 2015 pageant and decided to take matters into her own hands.
She later took to Facebook to explain her actions. This from Jezebel:
I do not accept injustice…and will never let something go unpunished, I wanted to express my disapproval of the actions in the preparations for Miss Amazonas 2015. I do not regret having protested. I believe I have planted change in this great contest. I wanted something clean and honest.
Skip forward about 20 seconds in the video above and see how not to lose graciously.
