Is It Possible For A Beauty Pageant To Be Too Sexy?

That is the question directed at Miss Universe these days, as the organization has posed most of its 2010 contestants in almost nothing but body paint for a new set of promotional images.

Some think this goes too far.

"It's alarming that this has been turned into a Playboy-esque masquerade," Angie Meyer, a former pageant employee, told Fox News. "By implementing topless photos as part of the pageant process, they're putting applicants in an extremely compromising position."

"The contestants who compete at Miss Universe are diverse, as they represent more than 82 countries around the globe. Many of their cultures embrace nudity... We feel the images captured are fashionable and cutting edge!" This was the respond of Lark-Marie Anton, vice president of marketing and public relations for the organization.

What do you think?

The Miss Jamaica and the Miss Australia photos look great. It looks like Miss Ukraine has a butterface.

I didn't know that a human body has become a good canvass to paint on. The Miss Universe contest has turned itself into an artists gallery. The irony of it, art collectors cannot get a deal to purchase one. Well, anyway, paint has become a nice and delicate fiber for a clothing and less expensive at that.

Nowadays, the swim suits have become so thin. Maybe thinner than paintinting. What is the difference? They are beautiful!

Women be they 'plane Jane's or 'beauties' have always been taken advantage be it for pleasure or monitory reasons. Keep fighting them Ladies and never give in to those who seek to exploit you.

I love it! And I don't care what ya'll think! I was in a beauty pagaent in 1992, when I was 21--oops, I meant to say scholarship pagaent!

Yeah! Heck, if I had a great body like these young woman have, I would not mind the body paint. They look great! It's art, man, it's art. Yes, they are naked but it's hard to tell. The vivid colors are fantastic.

I don't think they are in "compromising positons" at all. Looks good to me. Would I do it? Maybe. I would have to talk it over with my family and friends about it but it looks great on the contestants.

When I make up my face in the mornings, I look at my face like a canvas. I say to myself: what look do I want to go for today? Light? Meduim? Edgy? dramatic? vivid/ colorful?

I don't think this is "exploitation" at all. That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it. I know my mom would disagree but it looks like great art.:)
