EDITORIAL THE SLEUTHSAYER The chapter devoted to victory speeches in the instructional book How to Be a Beauty Pageant Winner begins with the two most typical reactions: “I couldn’t believe it!” and “I never dreamed it could happen to me!” The winners uncovered in this surprising sequel are probably harboring similar thoughts… They should know that there’s no safe harbor from the Sleuth: “Today a young woman whd wins a major pageant can expect to find that the exposure and opportunities give her a foothold on her career,” the contestants’ How To handbook continues. “Pageantry has become more than the recognition of a pretty face.” But that is where we start… “Female pulchritude, being qualitative rather than quantitative, does not lend itself to records,” according to the. Guinness Book of World Records. “It has been suggested that, if the face of Helen of Troy {circa 1200 B.C.} was capable of launching 1,000 ships, then a unit of beauty sufficient to launch one ship should be called a millihelen.” By the same.token, perhaps our stash of sashes can only be measured in Troy weight, since the nearly one hundred beauty queens we’ve bared in these two unprecedented issues would seem to constitute a centisleuth of sex appeal. “Many actresses get started in the business after winning a beauty pageant,” begins an article entitled Behind the Scenes with Pageant Queens. “They endure months, sometimes years of grueling training, which prepares them to look their best, smile their best, walk their best. The competition is fierce, and often the winner is competing just for a chance to be recognized {glad to oblige}. Nevertheless,” the article concludes, “looking back, they say it was worth it.” We trust you’ll be able to say the same 96 pages from now… Not To Be Missed,
