Diary of A Beauty Queen: Are beautiful Irish Women Really This Shallow?

DetectivFoxtrot · 01-04-2008 10:16PM #1

As I surf Boards I have TV3 on in the background, and a programme called 'Diary of A Beauty Queen' is on. The longer I watch the angrier I'm getting. The programme follow 3 seperate beauty queens: a Drag Queen in Limerick, a plus size beauty queen and a Bebo Beauty queen - all entering different competitions to win the crown.
The first two seem to have their heads screwed on an come across as genuinely nice people. The Bebo queen.... well ain't. She's very pretty (not Supermodel material by any stretch) but as the show went on in my eyes she got uglier by the second because of her ugly personality. Bitching about the other contestants, contantly blowing her own trumpet (I'm better than everyone here), quoting Paris Hilton (yes you read that right) and then begrudging the winner at the end.....

Did anyone else see it? Any thoughts?

Why would any man want to be with someone like this long term (apart from the obvious)?

Would a man overlook such peronality issues because of the beauty queen attributes (i.e. hot looking chick)?

TBH I thought the mother was a nice sweet girl, Deidre just came across awful, one of those girls other girls avoid.
I'd put money on her trawling the net right now seeing if anyone is saying anything nice about her.

AlmightyCushion · 01-04-2008 10:26PM

Can't judge her without pics.

SoupyNorman · 01-04-2008 10:27PM

I didnt see any beautiful girls anywhere...lots of shallow however.

Yeh I bet so too.

the Paris Hilton quote shrieked insecuity - 'It's better to be talked about that not being talked aboout' :eek:

Is it just coincidence though that the best looking was the shallowest?

anniehoo · 01-04-2008 10:41PM

I wanted to post about this too!! The limerick gay guy and the single mother were so sound, gracious and genuinely enjoying the whole process of competing. As for the Bebo one ...shes everything i despise about the yuppy/self obsessed/bitchy world that she lives in! False, arrogant, mean and shallow are a few words that sum her up! Guess who you'd have the craic with on a night out and not spend watching running in and out of the bathroom fawning over themeselves? I know loads of girls just like her and stopped socialising with them because the night was always pure drama! Shes a physically pretty girl but give her 10 years or so i can guarantee her list of friends will be fairly small!! Im glad she didnt win, purely for the fact it knocked her off her little pedestal she has herself on...:rolleyes:

Ah it won't Ginny - sure we're giving out about her!

Although.... in her eyes.. publicity is publicity.... lol :rolleyes:

Obviously not ALL beautiful Irish women are shallow but she does nothing to boost my argument. The minute anyone quotes Paris Hilton, (with it not being in jest), I lose the vast majority of respect for them. If that girl lost her looks tomorrow, which one of her 'friends' would want to know her?

connundrum · 01-04-2008 11:07PM

Some people are shallow. They don't have to be beautiful or female.

I'd suggest that more people are self obsessed and attention hungry than are shallow.

And bebo queen ain't all that. Aine Chambers ftw :pac:

Overheal · 01-04-2008 11:10PM

Does she use txt spk?

Answer the 2 questions so I can judge if you're shallow! lol

I'm interested in the male view as to whether these ladies are girlfrind material (if you are male that is....!)

Wow, they all have lovely bottoms

MIN2511 · 01-04-2008 11:22PM

Hmm, briefly saw it for a minute or two.

IMO we all do beauty before personality, we all go wow-she/he's stunning and then we find out how self absorbed the person really is. Sometimes it's a little too late..... but it's the way the world is

connundrum · 01-04-2008 11:22PM

Feckin sure I'm shallow, turns out that my hot missus is intelligent and funny too

These girls are girlfriend material for a lot of lads, lads who would be as shallow and materialistic as them. I firmly believe that there is someone for everyone in this world, it all depends on if the person in question wants a partner.

The Real B-man · 01-04-2008 11:31PM

She was so full of herself it was Hillarious!:D

I'm the opposite really. Sometimes people have such mental power that they can make me drawn to them, nothing to do with beauty.

+1

in the same way good looking people can become ugly to others because their personality (or lack thereof) shines through!

Miss Bebo? Lol, that site gets more retarded by the day.

One night stand material, definitely. Girlfriend material, not a hope in hell.

I'll admit to having gone out with a girl like her (several actually) when I was younger but life always became a dramatic rollercoaster overnight. I don't know how it happens to be honest. With looks like that, all these girls need to do is develop a decent personality and they're the perfect package. But you're one on that show tonight was decidedly ugly as soon as she opened her mouth. All the beauty in the world won't afford you any class.

...any guy who says he wouldn't is lying though.

"Are beautiful Irish women really this shallow?"

Here's my reply to that:

"Bloke posts sweeping generalisation thread on boards.ie regarding Irish women. Are Irish men who post on the internet really this stupid?"

which one is she?

The Walsho · 02-04-2008 01:12AM

Girlfriend material? Nah.
She's what I'd consider a vacation. You'd go there once or twice, but you wouldn't stay there.
If you're looking for beauty and brains, look no further than Claire Tully, 600 points in her leaving, a degree from Trinity, and off to Oxford for her PhD. Was also on page 3 of the sun last week. I kid you not. Go figure.

Go to http://www.goldenpages.ie and type in "Intelligent attractive women" and see what it tells you. Go on!

The problem with attractive women (all over, not just here) is that the more attractive they are, they more shallow they are as well.

SapphireRain · 02-04-2008 01:29AM

Hey all.
I was one of the beautyqueens from the Simply Be show! I am too mortified to actually look at the programme!
Some of the girls in the plus size show were hired models!!! So us amatures were a bit out of our league!
They interviewed me several times... most of the other girls were a bit shy. ..I wonder if I made a show of myself!!?! I got three calls from people telling me I was on tv... I am not sure I can even show my face tomorrow!

Going on something like that in the first place is enough to make a show of yourself tbh.

Yes she would be my girlfriend until I got to bang the jasus out of her a few times then I'd be like SO outta there. Would be nice to use for purely physical reasons.

Pigletlover · 02-04-2008 03:37PM

The plus size model (hate that term but don't know her name) came across as nice and down to earth and the two Limerick lads seemed up for a laugh, but that bebo babe one was such a tit, talking about building yourself up for a fall

I was delighted when she didn't come anywhere. She wasn't even all that, she was by no means ugly, but she wasn't nearly as gorgeous as she made herself out to be either. The really sad thing is there's girls on that bebo babes page today telling her what a great person she is, wtf???

Yes they are, unfortunately.

Not Dave though. He's a smart, charming lady killer. Just the rest of us
