Monastery to Catwalk: Miss Tibet Pageant

Should I travel to Tibet?

(Journeyman.TV) Miss Tibet: a beauty pageant and a political act, Tibetan women's moment in the limelight. The Miss Tibet beauty pageant claims to give women a platform to highlight Tibetan issues, drawing attention to the the plight of the its Buddhist people as well as the brilliance of the lifestyle and culture.

For Director Lobsang Wangyal the event is not just a beauty pageant but a political act "celebrating our identity, our culture, and our proud tradition" while "implicitly asserting" Tibet as a nation [distinct from China] and Tibetans as a people. But does the pageant actually empower its women or simply exploit them further?

Hey, Quagmire, porn addiction is serious!

(Alexandria Mulino, June 2015) All of us here watched the recent documentary "Hot Girls Wanted." I think I can speak for a lot of us in the porn, or "adult" film industry that this is a very unfair depiction of our industry. So I wanted to take it on and share another view with my "models" Saya Song, Lucia Lace, Taylor Reed, Ginger Bytes, and Danielle to get their input as well. This video by a "madam" (competitive agent soliciting women to be filmed in porn) is a must see  and, according to said "madam," also a more fair view of the porno industry.
