Based on the photos sent in to the cat in the PHOTO SECTION who gets your pick for Miss Cat 2006?

I'll take CarolC.

I know this is gonna stirr up shit but no harm is intended.

Pysical Beauty deserves to be recoginised once in a while.

Thats what any honest man recognizes first.

Well, I think we could try to assess a spelling penalty on him/her, but I didn't find the post itself offensive and I doubt Carol will.

I can settle it, though-- I'm for BEER. Non-alcoholic, in my case, with Alaska Mike's recommended porter a close second.

Can we at least agree on THAT around here? Beer as our unanimous commonality?

No?

OK, music then. Can we agree on that?

I think all Catty beholders should have their eyes examined. The winner can then be chosen scientifically.

Alternatively, if beauty is skin deep, the thickest skinned person should win.... oh no, I didn't mean to bring THAT into it...

Beer...beer is good. However, can we make a reasoned choice between ale, lager, stout and bitter? Personally, I don't care all that much for porter, but I will admit that barley wine has a lot going for it. And then, of course, there is always that minority which prefers a good strong cider.

Everything's Beautiful
In Its Own Way

When I look out over a green field of clover
Or watch the sun set at the end of the day
I get kind of moody when I see such beauty
And everything's beautiful in its own way


When I see a fountain flow from a mountain
Or see April showers bring flowers to May
I can't help but ponder; life is such a wonder
And everything's beautiful in its own way



Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way



When I see the clouds form a black summer windstorm
That uproots the harvest and hurls it away
In the midst of such anger, destruction and danger
The storm's even beautiful in its own way



When I see leaves drop off from the treetop
Or see the snow fall on a cold winter's day
My thoughts seem to wander into the blue yonder
God made all things beautiful in their own way



Words can't describe what I feel inside
When I see the beauty in each coming day
What my eyes behold can't be bought or sold
And everything's beautiful in its own way
In its own way, in its own way

I still wanna win a beauty contest. I haven't won one since I was six months old and won a gallon of milk for being the "Most Beautiful Baby" that week. This was before my mother dropped me on my head. (I no longer have either the diaper I wore or the milk.)

True beauty comes from within, and speeking in vain takes the fun out of it.
I "think" Repaire. And CarolC, And Bobert, And Alaska Mike, and Beardedbruce, and Georgiansilver, and The Villian, and Stilly River Sage and Joybell. Are all equally winners.

For am sure they know that no one is anymore beautiful or ugle than anyone else. And know its not what you have but what you do with what you got. As long as everyone is happy with themselves the rest is illusion, or interpretation and or opinions and we know what they say about opinions.

I'm not a big fan of contests of any kind, including beauty contests.

However, I will nominate my husband, Jack the Sailor, for the title of Handsomest Mudcat Man, and I am prepared to back up my nomination with fisticuffs if necessary.

When I on Mudcat's beauties do reflect,
It makes my mind to reel to see such riches;
So fast it nearly breaks my neck,
And makes me want to go and change me britches.
(Except for one or two, the pure-dee difficult ones...)
But they can never mind, and go to heck.

there's probably no need to make this an actual contest but now that I was coaxed by the thread to go to the Photos section I must admit that CarolC is proof that you can be intelligent and attractive all at the same time!

Beauty contests are for people whose lives are centered on stereotyped physical beauty. We, as a group, are not, and our average age must be 45-55. Bad idea in general.

If you wish to deny the real fact that physical beauty is, indeed, attractive, and call taking pleasurable notice of those facts, and call it sexism, then I feel quite sorry for you folks.

Well, Bruce. After giving it some thought I would have to agree that in a traditional beauty contest here on the 'Cat, CarolC, Tinker, KT, SussexCarole and Dani would probably be in the competition (apologies to any beauty I have left out). But have you ever seen a more beautiful woman than Rita Ferrara? Or Jacqui at her wedding? Or the sweet/tart Ebbie?
And in the male department, would anyone in her right mind prefer Tom Cruise to our resident teddy bear, Sandy Paton? Or the ever smiling Charlie Baum? Or Bobert, our resident "bad boy"? Why is Toy Boy Kendall always surrounded by his groupies?
Would any man here prefer the current Miss America to ANY real woman?
So...I am not offended by the thread. I am more beautiful now than I ever was at 25 and 125 lbs.

Okay, after participating in the Getaway Ladies Number, which definately had some serious parodies of beauty contest standards, I'd have to say that a selection of Mudcat Judges would by definition have alternative standards. I mean could you win if you were tone deaf ??? I'm not sure. I've found a pretty high level of "inner glow appriciation " among Mudcat men and women that would set traditional pagentry on it's ears.... I don't find the idea offensive. I guess cause my definition of beauty has grown along with my age...

SINSULL,


That is a different definition of beauty than was originally posited by the thread starter. Put that way, there are no non-beautiful people around, except those who have shit for character.
