  • Mr. and Miss. Kathmandu – Expose business exposure


    xpose-nepal-logoThis year’s Mr and Miss Kathmandu is going to be held on August 25, 2010. There are 20 males who will be contesting for the title of Mr. Kathmandu and and 20 females contesting for the title of Miss Kathmandu.

    I have questioned numerous times, why are Nepali people organizing beauty contest every now and then? Some even say that, the only thing Nepal is progressing is in ‘manufacturing’ beauties. When I looked at the procedure such contests are held, it looks like the most profitable and risk-free business that can be done in Nepal.

    Is that why so many beauty contests are held in Nepal these days?

    Let’s analyze

    First of all, the organizer of Mr. and Miss. Kathmandu, “Expose Nepal dot com” doesn’t have a site. Then, what does that ‘dot com’ means?

  • Beauty Contests – another hat-trick in July with Miss Angel


    I wrote about the flood of beauty contests in December when there were 3 beauty contests being held in a week’s time (hat-trick, if you like – Republica Miss Teen, Riddhi Siddhi Miss Teen, and Miss Teen Tamang). After that, we had College Ambassador, Miss Mangol, Miss India Worldwide Nepal, Kid Queen, Miss Lumbini, and announcements of Miss Tamang (canceled) plus combined Miss Tamang and Miss Aryan. That is not all, we have a recent announcement of yet another contest, Miss Angel 2010.

    miss_nepalThe organizers of Miss Angel believe that the event will be nearly equivalent to Miss Nepal in terms of size! (But, I don’t have any reason to believe it.) The event is going to be held on July 17. They have only a month to prepare for the event and they want it to make a grand event… It however looks better in terms of prizes – Rs. 100,000 for the winner and 50,000 and 30,000 for the first and second runner up is not a bad prize money.

    A rough history of beauty contests from November to May (10 contests in 7 months and another hat-trick beauty contest announcement for July)**

    1. Mr and Miss Kathmandu – November, 2009
    2. College Ambassador – December, 2009
    3. Miss Newa – December, 2009
    4. Republica Miss Teen – December, 2009
    5. Miss Teen Tamang – December, 2009
    6. Riddhi Siddhi Miss Teen – January, 2010
    7. Miss Mangol – March, 2010
    8. Miss India Worldwide Nepal – March, 2010
    9. Kid Queen – May, 2010
    10. Miss Lumbini – May, 2010
    11. Miss Tamang – July, 2010 (announced)
    12. Miss Aryan – July, 2010 (announced)
    13. Miss Angel – July, 2010 (announced)

    ** – This is a rough and unofficial statistics based on our previous reporting. There might have been more contests at that time.

  • Miss Tamang 2010 rescheduled for July 1


    According to previous announcement, the Miss Tamang 2010 beauty contest was supposed to be held on May 1 by Everest Fashion Home. When Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra wanted to do a separate contest, the organizations began to seek a common ground so that confusion is not created by conducting similar contests.

    Previous two Miss Tamang contests were organized by Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra and it seems logical that they want to continue their program. After a debate of a couple of months finally Tamang Kala Sanskriti Kendra and Everest Fashion Homes have agreed to organize only one Miss Tamang.

    As if we don’t have enough Miss Whatever contests … it is funny how they were going organize two Miss Tamang beauty contests one on May 1 by Everest and another on first week of July by Tamang Kendra. Everest home had already selected 17 contestants (in photo above) for the event and they were already given a month-long training. Now, the combined contest will include the 17 contestants plus the contestants selected by Tamang Kendra. The organizers say that there might be about 34 contestants in the contest.

  • Kid Queen 2010, Karina Bhattarai


    Beauty contests are being held very frequently in Nepal. The contest held today was for the kids – the Kids Queen (Aren’t we fed-up with the word ‘queen’ yet?). Initially I thought, its the kids talent show, not a beauty contest, and 40 schools have sent their 9 to13-year-old students in the event to show their talents. And, it left me wondering why only the girls and why the boys aren’t allowed to participate in the event?

    But, when I saw the awards – the event wasn’t what I expected. It was actually a ‘mini’ version of a beauty contest. If you ask me, “Miss Innocent” is the most bizarre award I would like to see my kid awarded with! Our retarded mentality to discipline kids might have created another award title, “Miss Discipline”. I can’t understand why are the schools are teaming-up with the organizers to prepare the kids for the so-called ‘beauty contests’ in the future.
