The truth behind Miss South Pacific The Miss South Pacific Pageant was founded by the Samoa Government its reason for beginning was to empower women in the region however it has done nothing but promote Samoan Women, In its early days the pageant was dominated by Samoan Communities from around the world the reasoning behind this concept was to promote Samoa opposed to the south pacific. In its early days Half cast Samoan women entered and won where the conflict arises is when nations such as the Cook Islands started to dominate the Pageant committee decided to change its stance on the pageant Miss Samoa saw more women of overweight capacity rock the stages and the same time Prime minister of Samoa spoke out on normalising fully figured women as beautiful. Signs of inter pacific racism has occurred with Samoa controlling the pageant. One may ask why it is called Miss Pacific Islands if the government of Samoa runs the committee research indicates that Samoa changed the concept to a more cultural pageant to suit the many demographics of the Pacific however this has become very confusing when nations within the region are using other nations cultural dances and identities to showcase there talents when they should be promoting the cultural dances of there respective nations. Under the new title of Miss Pacific islands the pageant has become dull and blunt it has lost the interest of the region due to non transparent decisions and choices based on sympathetic notions. The first signs of the pageant turning into turmoil mark 2009 Merewalesi from Fiji won the title based on Merit however she didn't have the unique beauty and popularity of past winners by standers at Pasefika Festival 2010 booed Merewalesi however the Pageant bounced back the following year when Papua New Guinea hosted and popular regional beauty Joyana Meyer won. It seems to be a normalised pattern that in 2011 Kate Ngatokorua who placed first runner up possessed beauty and answered the question better then Alisi of Fiji won the title it was an act not based on beauty or brains but more on sympathy or behind the scenes endorsement of sponsorship from Fiji. The Pageant returned strong When Miss Samoa Latafale Auvaa scooped the first title of Miss Pacific Islands as change implemented a new name of the title which was traditionally known as Miss South Pacific. Part of this research was conducted in Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa and the Cook Islands. In Fiji we saw a lack of beauty a lack of pride and a lack of appreciation for beauty and women who had become subjected to gender norms which were found widely amongst Samoan and Fijian Women however in the Cook Islands and Tahiti women were celebrated and both island nations have a unique beauty as everywhere you could look there were beautiful faces which was admired by smiling faces. It is not biased or racist to notice the obvious when it appears in physical appearance Fijians often document on women being beautiful through an internal lenses however are full of hatred and envy when not being able to recognise or appreciate other beauties from the region. Samoan culture are quick to compare there beauties to other island nations often overexaggerating or boosting about something that is non existent or fabricated. Cook Islands and Tahitian women subsequently come from Eastern Polynesia they mixed traditionally with each other and have thick boos of recordings from past whalers, missionaries, and tourist just how beautiful the Vahine are the women Big and Small have very distinct features that are rivalled by other nations who have to mix there genetics with foreigners to have a similar reflection records before the arrival of europeans show that the vahine were exotic and often thought to be of latin extract.
