Zer0: thanks for the comment, i'm not saying that beauty and brains have to be inversely proportionate because i know many girls that are both stunningly beautiful and highly intelligent. i'm just saying that the pursuit of beauty and superficial popularity should not consume one's entire life, when time can be spent more meaningfully.
so well, i just got back. guess who won the preliminary judging round?
my BROTHER.
none of the girls came close to him. and indeed, it was a miraculous transformation for my brother, he whose nicknames used to be King Kong, Tubby, Nerd, etc. well, i saw it happen gradually so i dont really see the difference, but for the rest of the extended family, they had trouble recognizing him at first!
he used to be fat. then he decided to do something about it, and thus began his switch to vegetarianism and daily workouts at the gym.
he had LASIK done to correct his vision, so it's bye-bye grandpa glasses.
then he asked me for some style advice. and i took him down to my hairdresser who colored his hair and gave him a snazzy new haircut (he used to have those sad lonely otaku hairstyles). and re-coordinated his wardrobe. and bought him some bling to accessorize.
suddenly, all my female cousins wanted to take pictures with him.
he was unanimously voted the Queen of the May.
er, King.

Your bro sounds like the post-transformation Densha Otoko.
Am agreement with you on that bit about vanity. Although vanity is not one of the cardinals sins, its definitely a necessary evil.
