Young women are being destroyed for looks - Mrs BVI Angelle A. Cameron
Mrs Cameron and former Miss BVI Rosanna K. Chichester were guests on Karia J. Christopher's 'Real talk' Virgin Islands 10 Most Inspirational Women for 2016, aired on local television CBN Channel 51 on February 21, 2017.
Being pretty not beauty fades
"Beauty doesn't fade, being pretty fades. If you look up the word in the dictionary it tells you pretending to be something you are not, that's what the Webster dictionary says the word pretty means," Mrs Cameron told the host of the show.
She went on to comment, "Beauty comes from the inside out. You cannot fade from the inside out. You can fade from the outside. So our beautiful nature and who we are can never fade, it can never be duplicated but, unfortunately, the pageantry atmosphere has a stigma about what you should look like."
Going forward, Mrs Cameron said, she plans to work at dismantling that stigma. "....I plan to peel it back. This is the truth about me, this is my cellulite. The pictures you see they are not perfect. All the women with the now hour glass shape they are not perfect. Who haven't bought themselves to a beautiful body have edited their pictures to the point where they want to have this look and this falseness."
"I plan to take that away because they are destroying too many of our young women with this notion that you must look a certain way."
According to Cameron, women letting the world know what their talents, skills and passion are should be the things put to the forefront.
Just Girl organisation
Meanwhile, Mrs Christopher asked her guests if beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and pretty is a pretence why do persons insist on using makeup? All of the persons on the show wore makeup and Mrs Christopher admitted that she spends much time on it.
"I think you need to build up your self-esteem to get to the point where we are today because we were not always like this. We weren't born like this, it took a processing to get where we are today," was the response of Ms Chichester.
She added that in her quest to influence other young women in finding their true self she is in the process of establishing an organisation named Just Girl.
Parents should support children wanting to enter pagents
As both guests have experienced the pageantry life, they both agreed that parents should support their young girls if they are desirous of entering the pageant world as the benefits are far beyond one’s imagination.
Cameron said she was guilty of putting the big "No" to her daughter who wanted to enter the Prince and Princess Pageant at one time but would do the absolute opposite if she gets that question from her daughter again.
For Chichester, she got turned down by her parents at one time but won their confidence after turning 18 years and stressing the reasons why she wanted to enter, including to represent the fight against cancer.
Meanwhile, Mrs Christopher grilled Cameron about being a Christian and going on stage wearing a swimwear. Cameron defended that, saying it was something that helped her to become comfortable and confident about herself and her choice of swimwear was one both her husband and her were very comfortable with.
As for their slim bodies, both ladies established that's how they are naturally and did not go to the extreme to maintain such appearances. However, while noting that one must be comfortable with who they are, Chichester advised that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important and that entails exercising and eating right.
A rebroadcast of the show will be done on Thursday February 23, 2017 at 8:00 PM on CBN Channel 51.

If you're not going to be HONEST with these females it's a waste of time. Cause EVERYBODY CAN'T LOOK LIKE THE YING somebody have to look like the YANG.
Don't waste your time on this internet wannabe gangsta, always online talking hogwash. When you look at their real lives you do nothing except laugh your a$$ off.
This group.."Oh you features strong but aslong as you love yourself it doesn't matter".....gets laughed at blogged about....now person depress. SMH tell people the TRUTH cause the WORLD IS NOT KIND.
Saying this, you are the only crowned queen that I see has held their integrity and poise. Because deep down, you really are a queen, not because your sash says that. I will call names of the "queens" out there but I am not that malicious. They know who they are.
Isn't there an evident problem when thats even a possibility.
This show stinks!!
they are thinking beyond their crowns and gowns to the person. I personally think beauty pageants teach the wrong shallow values about how one looks. These women are shedding light on the fact that we are all OK. Even men.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. There are no ugly women, just lazy ones!
Whatever is not perfect on one's body, use whatever procedures necessary to improve.
The wearing of makeup is truly a beautiful thing on a woman and the skilled women should not feel shameful in utilizing such tools to enhance beauty.
I am always in awe of women who can utilize earthly procedures to enhance God given creations.
Continue my dear Virgin Islands(UK) women to enhance your beauty in all it's forms..
