MYANMAR MODELS,, TOO REVEALING?

Just a piece of my thought..

I was visiting some Myanmar websites and chanced upon the topic on Myanmar models.VisitTHIS PAGE where I stemmed off, the origin of this post.

Basically in everything dysfunctional Myanmar,from the governing mechanism to social systems everything seems out of order.

I remembered reading somewhere and I think I wrote about it once how the businessmen instructed Model Agency while picking the models,the brand ambassadors. "No male model"... it is not a subject whether it is relevant or no...What matter most is " must be model GIRLS.". I wonder one day we might see model girls fronting the billboards and parading the catwalks for male under gears.Here, I am not trying to demean the model girls but highlighting what rules this professions.

Hmm... I might go far off the tracks if we started talking everything disordered in our beloved country. So back to the post..



-----------------------------------
Inevitable if I have to say!

Who the hell on earth would enjoy ogling their own kins stripping for public pleasure!

Surely not you.. Not me. Not anyone even from a more liberal country or cultured country, continent.

But if they choose to do it? So be it. We do not like our sisters to do so? By all means, by our social norms or so-called Myanmar culture, domestically tell our sisters or beat them (even so, we do not have the right to do so from human right point of view). But do we have the right to tell the strangers/ models off? Not so, I guess.

You have all the right not to see them if you don't like. On the same parameters, they have all the rights to reveal everything they possess.

So if we don't like such kind of acts why we even visit them, see them and felt helpless and bothered.

We are in the process of marching towards a full democracy, equal opportunities and human right Myanmar. Aren't we?

If so, why we are acting like moral guards to restrict people from doing what they are happy to do? It's kind of violating one's right and contradicting ourselves in demanding human rights from the Generals. By doing so, we are showing and approving the General's statements that we are not ready for the democracy! Probably, we are still enjoying Generals' treatments, " Burmese way of democracy".

From my humble opinion, no force , no exploitation involved in those shoots? Fine. They like it? They enjoy acting naked? Go ahead. If I think indecent or no taste, I will not see them. I will practise my full human rights not to see them. I like them? No one can stop me. I am again practising my rights to do what I like.

In every act, there is a price to pay for.. it's a matter of cheap or expensive. Light or heavy.

Leave it to individual choice. To each his own, we are responsible for our own acts.

Not meaning to offend any party who has a stake in this subject but trying to practise my very own right to voice what I feel. Not necessary to be right across..

sai,

I think modelling is a profession too. Sometimes, this job may require more skin baring and ...perhaps revealing!

Well, I think its the call for survival..and also if the demand is not there, i m sure there is no need for any "supply" right?

but whatever it is, i believe sometimes, being tradition is good too..even when the country is paving for more development, somethings should stay preserved..and be the way they are..

well..just sharing my 5.5cents worth pa..

Dear Wei Hkine...

That's the point I am writing this post.

To each his own.. individual choice..

We may have someone who would comment on girls wearing longgyi and fully cover up blouses..saying like so outdated and unfashionable. right..

Good or bad..in general..we are living in imperfect world and we like to find the very possible flaws of others.. not ours...

Anyway.. thanks for all your visits and comments..and please continue to do so.
