It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these lists and now feels like a good time to rectify that what with the big US pageants having crowned their winners and the end of the year creeping up on us quickly.
What was interesting for me putting this list together was how it’s changed over the years. Yes, the call for greater transparency has always been there, but there were also a few inclusions that might surprise some of you.
I mentioned this in the video but it bears restating here, I create this list as someone who wants to see the industry thrive and succeed, especially the young women who compete in it. I’m not a blind pageant fanatic, nor am I a hater. I’m an observer, a realist, and a pragmatist at heart.
I think our society is too keen to look for reasons to be angry, to divide along tribal lines, and to yell at one another for completely trivial reasons. We don’t need more angry talking heads, loyalists, haters, or pageant ‘experts’. What we need are people who know what they’re doing, have both the proven experience and the skill, and are happy to keep their heads down doing the work without needing to constantly be the center of attention.
But that’s enough from me. Watch the video. It’s a good one (all 59 minutes of it).
And, as always, I’d love to know your thoughts - even if I’m unable to get back to each one of you personally, know that I appreciate it.
