Tanay Arts & Entertainment (TAE) is presenting a first of its kind beauty pageant for men. Beauty pageants for men are generally not as popular as they are for women, but TAE plans to change that.
Male pageants have traditionally tended to focus mainly on bodybuilding. However, in the early 1990s, male pageants began to shift focus from muscle mass, looks and masculinity to the contestants’ intellectual capabilities, talent, physique and how he presents himself to the world.
“The connotation that contestants join pageants for ‘world peace,’ ‘self esteem’, etc, are not the main reasons behind these real men. Reasons are actually diverse: some compete because they are naturally competitive, some join for money and any opportunities that come along, some for the title and the fun and experience gained from participation, and others, for brotherhood and the idea of becoming a modern ambassadors for men in this world,” says organiser Tanya Mehra.
“Mr World NZ has given the men of New Zealand an opportunity to represent our country and culture at the Mr World Pageant in America. These enthusiastic Men will go through all the elements and components, which take to be in the contest. They have to go through photo shoots, fitness test and cat walk sessions many more,” she adds.
