Insofar as you’re going to have a beauty pageant at all, having one that highlights the beauty of landmine victims is – I think – good. I’m not a big fan of the industry (okay, industries: beauty pageants and landmines) overall. Although I confess to a touch of inconsistency here, as I personally crowned Miss Busia 2000 (one of the preliminary pageants to Miss Kenya).
