Decrowned for Dying Hair to Brunette

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/teen-pageant-winner-decrowned-after-dyeing-hair-brown-2293661/ Above is a link to an article I just read about a 15 year old girl who won a beauty pageant in New Zealand. When she won the crown, she was blond. Then she decided to dye her hair brown and the pageant organizer, Ms. Osborne, did not approve at all. Osborne was not amused by the hair change and made sure her feelings were heard. The teen girl said that if she was not allowed to dye her hair, maybe pageant life was not meant for her. Osborne agreed and accepted the crown back. Adding salt to the wound, she said that she did not believe the teen girl would go too far with that kind of attitude. The organization behind the pageantry gave mixed messages when contact. At first they supported Osborne's actions and said that when the teen won the crown, it was under the expectation that she will represent the crown the same way she won it- meaning no changes to her appearance. Then later responded saying that it was not about the hair dye, but the attitude the teen girl demonstrated. Is it me or is this just crazy? I'm not someone who follows pageants to begin with- not my thing, but it seems like the pageant world has gone extreme. All this began because a teen girl decided to dye her hair? Wow, what kind of message are they sending to girls? Don't ever change. You have to fit this special appearance and that's it. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
