Ah, but see, Tala isn't a part of it except as an entrant. If you look like you're somewhere between me and Neriah Davis, then you have no reason to not enter. I figure that I may well be at the bottom of the barrel in the looks category, but I have a damn good chance in the smarts category.
Even if it is just a popularity contest, it's still something fun to do. There aren't any of us who are bashing the others. There's no reason for us to bash each other.
Let me ask this: In business terms, how many of you would refuse to partcipate because you feel that you're not as good (or hot, or marketable, or smart, or a thousand other excuses) as someone else? If you're determined, then you succeed. If you're not determined, then you don't succeed, simple as that.
Same here. If you're determined, then you're going to at least have a good time. If you're afraid or feel like you don't have a snowball's chance in hell, then you're right to not join the fun and games.
It's not about who's the best looking. It's about pulling yourself together as a WHOLE and enjoying yourself. Don't discount yourself because you're afraid you're not as hot as someone else. Bring it and let's have a good time.
