Abstract:

This study is about beauty style focused on the grand prize winner of the Miss World Korea contest held independently in 2011 being separated from Miss Korea contest, the winners of the Miss Queen Korea contest called national representative beauty trio, and Mis Jin who is the main winner Miss Korea contest. It was conducted through comparative analysis of makeup and hairstyles in world beauty contests and domestic beauty contests. Comparing and analyzing different patterns through the characteristics of makeup and hairstyles in international beauty contests and domestic beauty contests is expected to be used as a source of new pattern research and a material of marketing in beauty industry in the future and there is a purpose that it contributes to the provocation for Korea to be a global beauty powerhouse. The makeup and hairstyles of beauties were analyzed using research papers books, Miss Queen Korea site, photo collection of Miss Korea site, Internet search, and interviews with contestants and other winners. As a result of the analysis, the world beauty pageant has a more apparent shading and smoky makeup to express sexy with boldness overly emphasizing the eye hole, and the hairstyle is also definitely given back comb to be exaggeratedly inflated, making the face look small, and the western image of a seductive style. The domestic beauty pageant broke away from the flashy and shady makeup of the past and changed to an elegant and calm natural makeup style, and the hair style was also changed from being expanded and inflated to calm and oriental image of intellectual and announcer. In previous studies, there was a close relationship between the trend beauty style and the beauty style of the beauty pageant, but in particular, in the case of the international beauty pageant, the trend and the beauty style of the beauty contest were expressed in a different form due to disimilar needs against the past, and there was no significant relationship.

Abstract:

In late nineteenth-century Ontario, beauty contests and shows were forms of entertainment influenced in part by shifting cultural trends in entertainment and newspaper reports from outside of Canada. While commercialized beauty shows took place in theatres and filled a growing space for leisure entertainment, beauty contests were often held at community events, such as agricultural fairs and association picnics. As practices of inherently sexualized bodily display, they functioned as sites of acceptable public desirability. Late nineteenth-century beauty entertainment capitalized on the heightened visibility of women in public spaces and popular interest in public display in late Victorian Ontario, which, as read through the Ontario press, resulted in an expression of modernity where women’s cultural value was tied to their appearance.

Abstract:

Even though the beauty phenomenon always includes a subjective judgement, it is alwaysan important crossroads because it includes conceptualizations such as Westernizationand modernization in the institutionalization of beauty contests.Especially when we start to discuss over Turkey, external appearance -orientedexplanations in which the Westernization and modernization can easily be observed andwhich are our reference points drag us up to the beauty contests.The beauty contests, which can be examined as a symbol of social reconversion after thewar of Independence, were ignored in social sciences studies, in particular the habit ofreading through the window of History of Public Relations could not be established.These competitions are labeled with different disintegrations and different readings thatappear or do not appear since the publication of the Republic of Turkey. Beauty contestsand the reactions to them are an example of how even beauty might become politicizedand might become a political space where the views of the country are transmitted by themedia frames.In this study, the first official beauty contest organized by the Cumhuriyet Newspaper inyear 1929 is discussed within the scope of the history of Public Relations. In the study,articles, theses and various books were used regarding the subject. In addition, newspublished about the beauty contests at the Cumhuriyet and Hâkimiyeti Milliye 1(Domination of the Nation) (Ulus) newspapers during 1929, which constitute the basis ofthis study, were examined day by day and discussed within this context of the PublicRelations History

Abstract:

We show that the equilibrium policy rule in beauty contest models is equivalent to that of a single agent’s forecast of the economic fundamental. This forecast is conditional on a modified information process, which simply discounts the precision of idiosyncratic shocks by the degree of strategic complementarity. The result holds for any linear Gaussian signal process (static or persistent, stationary or nonstationary, exogenous or endogenous), and also extends to network games. Theoretically, this result provides a sharp characterization of the equilibrium and its properties under dynamic information. Practically, it provides a straightforward method to solve models with complicated information structures. (JEL C72, D82, D83, D84)

Abstract:In the world of Nigerian beauty pageants, the bikini remains a fraught embodied symbol and aesthetic practice. Pageant affiliates, critics, and fans alike strongly debate the question of whether to include bikinis in these events. This article draws primarily from nearly a year of ethnographic observations of two Nigerian national beauty contests in 2009-2010 to show how various stakeholders used personal, domestic, and international frames about women’s bodies, and the bikini in particular, to bolster respectability. Through embodied respectability, women’s figurative and literal bodies were used to strategically situate propriety, social acceptance, and reputability for the self and the nation.

Abstract:

This study examines the Miss Beauty Pageant in the light of popular culture in Nepali context. In the first section, the research attempts to explore different causes of having popularity of Miss Pageant such as rapidly increasing of electronic media, emerging liberal consumer society, glamour politics of physical beauty of the female and gender identity. In the second section, the research discusses two phases of beauty pageant: national-wise and heterogeneous identities based wise (i.e. regional, University, ethnic, caste, professional and institutional wise). In the third section, the article also examines the causes of contradictory opinion from Marxist and feminist force on the contest of the Miss pageant as they underscore the political-cultural side of imperialism, gender discrimination and commercialization of female body, sex and beauty. Despite the opponent voice, the popularity of various beauty contests are increasing day by day. However, specific feature of the pop culture is that it does not distinguish the right and wrong in the overflow of the consumption of the cultural practices. Consequently, opponent circles like Marxists and feminists have almost failed to stop the beauty contest in the consumer mode of Nepali society in the present context.

Abstract:

AbstractThe weight assigned to public information in Keynesian beauty contests depends on both the precision of signals and the degree of strategic complementarities. This experimental study shows that the response of subjects to changes in signal precision and the degree of strategic complementarities is qualitatively consistent with theoretical predictions, though quantitatively weaker. The weaker response of subjects to changes in the precision of signals, however, mainly drives the weight observed in the experiment, qualifying the role of strategic complementarities and overreaction in experimental beauty contests.

Abstract:

The study was conducted on judges and organizers of beauty contests in South Gyeongsang Province. According to a survey of 203 people, most were women in their 20s, who were highly educated (four-year college graduation or enrollment), and there were many people who were not married. There were many people who were active in the beauty field. According to the research results, caring for participants in the operation and service sectors of the competition was recognized as the biggest problem, and it was difficult to connect with various competition events in terms of education. In terms of cultural value, there was a perception that it did not meet the international level. The opinion that the focus should be on competition events and education as an improvement measure prevailed. In particular, there was a strong opinion that the promotion of competition regulations and screening regulations was necessary in advance. In addition, it was suggested that the development of competition events to improve participants' practical skills and the establishment of networks to attract foreign participants are important. Lastly, people with a lot of experience in beauty contests showed high awareness of the competition events and plans to improve education. The results of this study can be used as important information for the development of beauty contests in Korea.

Abstract:

Vietnam, a country of the Confucian cultural area, the sensual side of relations has traditionally not been exposed. Female beauty has not received much attention in fiction, let alone state historical publications. Often the use of this concept had a negative connotation, and the beauties themselves had a hard lot. Fundamental shifts in social thought and social life in Vietnam in the 20th century reflected in the perception of beauty and the ability of women to realize themselves through their appearance, a striking manifestation of which was the scale of various beauty contests held in the country.

Abstract:

Beauty culture shaped the work experiences of women factory operatives and office staff at the Maidenform company in complex ways during the 1940s and 1950s. Through advertising, the company newsletter, beauty contests, “Pin-Up of the Month” competitions, and the ultra-feminine form made possible by the company's brassieres and girdles, Maidenform helped define postwar commercial beauty culture. Maidenform employees also had a hand in defining beauty culture, making it an important part of workplace sociability. In the process of producing and consuming workplace beauty culture at Maidenform, women from a wide range of class and ethnic backgrounds participated in the dominant gender ideal fostered by their employer. At the same time, however, their work culture remained rooted in their own class and ethnic identities. This article will examine the ways in which working women at Maidenform used commercial beauty culture to negotiate these divergent identities.

Abstract:

After 1945 the Italian tradition of feminine beauty was redefined in a democratic context in which women, for the first time, became full citizens. Faced with a far-reaching challenge from Hollywood, traditional criteria of beauty were first strenuously defended and then modified and commercialised. Beauty contests proved to be a vital vehicle in this transition, since they acted both as a forum for the reassertion of Italian beauty and as a vehicle for the displacement of old ideas centred on the face with a new concept based on the eroticised body. This transition became bound up with the ongoing political conflict between Catholics and the left for the moral and political leadership of the country. While both, with different emphases, championed ‘natural’ at the expense of American-style ‘manufactured’ beauty, competition led them to engage with, and in some way adopt, the sexualised beauty that was the hallmark of the role of the United States in furnishing new models for the consumer society that would develop rapidly in the later 1950s.

Abstract:

The Philippines is a home of hospitable, peace-loving, beautiful, handsome, and intelligent people. Beauty contests are always part of traditions and in celebrating festivals, fiestas, and other social activities. When the beauty contests are done, people often feel disappointed in the results because errors usually occur in the manual computation of the scores. As a result, the judges are oftentimes commented as biased, that judges have their proteges, and favoritism prevails. Thus, with the advent of technology, AutoBeaut was developed, intended for barangays, municipalities, organizations, and institutions. The contests consist of different categories to be competed in by the candidates, and every category has its own criteria. The application runs on desktop computers and mobile phones. The pageant's results will be sent to the server, and the tabulated results will be printed. The Prototyping Model was used in the development of the system. The system was used in the different beauty pageants, especially for organizations or agencies requesting the Pageant Computerized Tabulation System. This is one of the extension activities of the College of Computer Studies, particularly the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. The system is important in computing, tabulating, and monitoring the scores given by the judges to every candidate. Results would be readily accessible once the judges entered the points garnered by candidates. It will lessen and hasten the work of the judges and statisticians and provide fast, accurate, valid, and reliable results that can be retrieved anytime if somebody needs the computation for reference. The system was tested and evaluated by the respondents based on ISO 25010 and rated as “Very Acceptable” among the different criteria set.

Abstract:

<p>The men body is not only seen as a body. Currently the men body has been exploited by capitalism which rivals the popularity of the women body which is usually exploited through beauty contests. The men body, which is disciplined by fitness products, has now ventured into men's fitness contests, one of which is The New L-Men of The Year which has been transformed from L-Men of The Year. This is one of the annual fitness contests for Indonesian men which was stopped in 2014, and then re-held in 2018. This research seeks to unravel the discourse behind The New L-Men of The Year using critical discourse analysis method by van Dijk. The unit of analysis for this research is online news on fimela.com related to the fitness contest The New L-Men of the Year 2018 period. The results showed that the discourse that emerged in the men's fitness contest through The New L-Men of The Year was a discourse on a healthy lifestyle. This healthy lifestyle is transmitted by the winner of The New L-Men of The Year as a health influencer who does not always highlight his six pack, but has the ability to communicate and understand the digital world as a form of persuasion of a healthy lifestyle.</p>

Abstract:

The paper attempts to explore how the female body is often controlled by the power politics, which is discussed with reference to the Miss Nepal beauty pageant. The pageant being organized since 1994 has drawn not only ideological and ethical debate, but it has also generated street demonstrations including violent confrontations since then. Though women’s wings of various politico-cultural organizations tried to stop it by organizing various protest movements, multiple forms of regional and community-based beauty pageants are proliferating in Nepal. This study primarily tries to observe the forms of body politics that exist in Miss Nepal beauty contests from the perspective of indigenous aesthetics. Secondly, it analyzes how the female body is tied with the power politics in the name of beauty pageants from the Gramscian notion of ‘hegemony’ and Ngugi wa Thiongo’s ‘decolonizing the mind’. Finally, as indigenous aesthetics is an extensive domain, this paper recommends some ways to deal with the Miss Nepal beauty pageant issues, especially with reference to the indigenous Newa: women aesthetics.

Abstract:

Talent contests in modern society occupy a certain niche, they cause a diverse attitude in various social strata and have overgrown with a huge number of stereotypes. These stereotypes do not always correspond to reality. We wondered if the girls contestants could have any personality traits, in contrast to girls who had never participated and would not like to participate in such events and began to study the characteristics from the motivational and volitional sphere. We assumed that female contestants should be motivated to achieve success, due to their confidence in their external data and good volitional qualities. We consider these personality traits to be the most important for participation in a competitive event, because successful overcoming of obstacles, perseverance in achieving goals, striving for victory depend on the level of their development. The results of the study showed that the studied group has high volitional self-regulation. However, we cannot talk about the motivation for achieving success, since the subjects are inclined to motivate the avoidance of failures. In addition, we found that female students generally prefer interiorized success, i.e. one that is achieved through inner work, and not outside influence. Interestingly, beauty and talent contestants, more than their peers, prefer success as recognition, which may be due to their desire to win a prize, approval or title. The results of the study can be used as a justification for educational work at the university in the format of beauty and talent contests, as well as the characteristics of personal development and self-realization within the framework of these contests. It is possible to develop psychological techniques and methods for psychological support of girls participating in various competitions of a similar format.

Abstract:

Keynes (The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, Harcourt Brace and Co., New York, 1936) had rightfully argued that picking stocks is akin to a beauty contest. The chances of winning are amplified if one's choice matches the likelihood of the panel's choice. In this era of financialization, where profit-making has shifted to speculative sways rather than fundamental trade and commodity production measures (Krippner, Socio-Econ Rev 3(2): 173-208, 2005), similar beauty contests have become even more acute. Online, real-time media channels along with pervasive investments applications have ushered in unprecedented online financial information and retail investor interest, ranging from dealing in penny stocks to sentiment-based trading. More than information sources, similar investment sites compete to recommend investment directions and strategies, not driven by strict fundamentals used by “arbitrageurs” or rational speculators but on pseudo-signals proffered by various information investment channels with varying degrees of credibility. This behavior, referred to herein as information activism, concomitantly adds a sociopsychological dimension to the concept of financialization (Lagoarde-Segot, Int Rev Financial Anal 2016) – wherein technology-driven information reach and range contribute to financial dominance of financial actors and practices. Using information activism as a lens, this research empirically evidences the extent to which information activism affects retail investor behavior under various market conditions. This study examines the differential effects of two primary, albeit reputable, sources of information activism: an investment news channel (CNBC – Mad Money) and an online financial blog (SeekingAlpha), and the effect on investor behavior during the 2008 financial crisis. In identifying the specific downstream effects of information activism on capital markets and investor behavior, factors related to investor behavior, such as trading volume and price reaction, are analyzed surrounding information activism events. Results indicate that retail investors appear to rely on online information activists during uncertain economic conditions. Findings denote that abnormal returns are associated with information activism during uncertain economic conditions and for buy recommendations when information asymmetry is high. Abnormal trading volume is also associated with information activism during economic uncertainty and with buy recommendations when information asymmetry is high particularly for stocks exchanges where unsophisticated investors tend to trade more heavily.

Abstract:

Introduction The subject of beauty has been the topic of much debate throughout history, and methods for the evaluation of beauty have been the focus of many research projects. The evaluation of beauty is influenced by factors which include various linear measurements, angles, ratios, and proportions. We evaluated several ratios in Indian Population after locating various landmarks on beautiful Indian faces. Aims and Objectives The aim of the present study was to evaluate various facial proportions of Indian beauties using their frontal photographs in natural head position to establish anthropometric norms in beautiful Indian females. To evaluate whether these values satisfy golden and silver proportions. To compare these values with Caucasian anthropometric norms. Materials and Methods Frontal photographs of 30 female celebrities were downloaded from the internet. Photographs of only those Indian beauties that have been declared winners of either national or international beauty contests by a designated panel of judges were included in this study. Hardcopy of these photographs was taken in 5 inch by 3.5 inch format, all the measurements done and ratios calculated. Results Measurements were tabulated and values for various ratios were calculated to establish norms. Coefficient of variation was also evaluated. Conclusion All the ratios were found to be consistent than others which made it possible to assess beauty objectively rather than arbitrarily. Most of the values did not match the golden and silver proportion. In comparison with Caucasian population, we found that there is significant difference in most of the values.
