Today I cleaned. Yay for me! I secretly (not so secret to those who know me well) love cleaning, I enjoy the thrill of re-designing a room and the opportunity to create something beautiful.

But in cleaning, as was the case today, I find myself with bags full of unwanted items that I either recycle, deliver to a second-hand store or send to land fill.

I am writing to you about the sexualisation of young girls in beauty pageants.

Recently pageant organizers have brought these events to our country and I strongly believe that beauty pageants have been viewed the wrong way.
