Humingi ng dispensa ang aktres na si Rufa Mae Quinto matapos niyang mag-comment ng “sana all” sa isang feature article para sa late beauty queen na si Cheslie Kryst.
Sa mismong Instagram post ng Kami kung saan siya nag-comment ng “sana all”, nagpaabot ng pakikiramay si Rufa Mae sa pamilya ni Cheslie, kasabay ng pagpapaliwanag na rin patungkol sa nauna niyang kumento. Aniya, naputol ang text sa caption at hindi na niya ito nabasa nang buo. At dahil dito, ang nakita lamang niya ay ang kahanga-hangang ganda at hulma ng katawan ni pageant queen.
Matatandaang ginulat kamakailan ni Cheslie ang buong mundo matapos mabalita ang tungkol sa pagkawala nito. Sa isang feature article na isinulat niya para sa Allure noong nakaraang taon na pinamagatang A Pageant Queens Reflects on Turning 30 ay para bang may pahiwatig na ito.
“Each time I say, ‘I’m turning 30,’ I cringe a little. Sometimes I can successfully mask this uncomfortable response with excitement; other times, my enthusiasm feels hollow, like bad acting. Society has never been kind to those growing old, especially women. (Occasional exceptions are made for some of the rich and a few of the famous.) When I was crowned Miss USA 2019 at 28 years old, I was the oldest woman in history to win the title, a designation even the sparkling $200,000 pearl-and-diamond Mikimoto crown could barely brighten for some diehard pageant fans who immediately began to petition for the age limit to be lowered,” aniya.
“A grinning, crinkly-eyed glance at my achievements thus far makes me giddy about laying the groundwork for more, but turning 30 feels like a cold reminder that I’m running out of time to matter in society’s eyes—and it’s infuriating,” pagpapatuloy pa ng beauty queen.
