The revelations of Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, President of the Miss International Peace contest - Miss Grand International, made many beauties aspire. Even by default, Miss is a "money-making" profession.

When asked about the idea that beauty is a profession that "makes money", the current Miss International Peace said: "Many people think that beauty is a profession, I personally see beauty as a title. When I have a title, it means I have more opportunities. The most important thing is how I use the title.”
Since becoming Miss International Peace, Thuy Tien has participated in promotional and charity activities. She has been to countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Angola... The beauty impresses with her friendly and intimate image on charity trips, and is gorgeous every time she steps on stage. She also confidently communicates in English and Thai.
If Thuy Tien's life change is associated with work, there are many other beauty queens who change their lives in a single note, although they still have not had outstanding jobs. Branded full body is what the public sees in any beauty who has just won the crown.
But in fact, this concept is also starting to become obsolete. Nowadays, titles are sought after, even bought for business. When online sales took the throne, it was no longer strange for a beauty queen to sit and sell dry chicken or fat. It sounds funny, but it's reality.

Title… for business
The fact that the Misses and runner-ups of the International Peace 2022 regularly livestream selling dry chicken, skin-whitening foods, coffee, and cosmetics on social networking platforms causes fierce controversy. Most recently, Miss International Peace 2022, Isabella Menin, livestreamed with the Filipino, Indonesian and Cambodian runner-ups on Nawat Itsaragrisil's personal Facebook page.
The beauties introduced the product, tasted it directly on the airwaves. The products introduced by the queens at this livestream come from Mr. Nawat's brand, including: dry chicken, coffee, skin whitening food and perfume. The livestream attracted thousands of live viewers. Before that, the beauties also had livestreams selling feng shui jewelry, bags, dry goods, collagen products to beautify the skin...
"Miss, the runner-up refuses to go to charity, help society, but on the evening of the livestream to sell dry chicken", "Choose the top 10 just to livestream to sell goods", "Bring the reputation of Miss, runner-up but public. it's just a livestream to sell dry goods”… are the opinions of the audience when witnessing Miss Isabella Menin and the livestream runner-ups introduce perfume, coffee, and dried chicken with Nawat brand; selling gold, advertising cosmetics…
In fact, this is no longer strange and it seems that the model of beauty livestream sales is being replicated because of the effect achieved. Miss Doan Thien An also regularly livestreams selling ginseng. But fortunately, she is in the role of director of a company selling ginseng, so she is less "market" than the top 10 Miss Nawat.
Compared to other organizations such as Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Earth or Miss International, the way Nawat Itsaragrisil operates is different. He runs his own business under the Miss Grand brand, selling a variety of items, ranging from beauty products to food. Mr. Nawat regularly livestreams to sell directly. Therefore, the beauties of his organization must also follow this line of work after signing the contract. The videos calling for purchase are broadcast publicly on the fanpage of Miss Grand Thailand.
Before the mixed public opinion, Miss Thuy Tien expressed that she had never done similar livestreams but said: "I think when the beauties only livestream and do nothing for the community, it is to blame. And if the girls live stream to earn money, then go to charity, there is nothing to blame."
The competition for buying and selling prizes in many beauty contests is no longer strange. The person being offered is in fact a potential contestant and it only takes one more step to spend money to be able to wear the crown. A beauty who won the top prize in a beauty contest but was not very prominent because the contest was not professional in communication, said: The organizers of a beauty contest offered her 1 billion VND to make sure. rate in the top 5. When asked if there is any title with this investment, the organizers said that it is only the top 5, and the crown must be considered further. Even if you don't say it, everyone understands that the crown will have a different price.
This fact may surprise the audience, but people in the world are no longer strange. The purchase of prizes is not only in the "indoor" playgrounds but also internationally. This capital is an investment for each person's business.
A famous businesswoman in the brewing industry shared that "one Miss title is enough" when people advised her to continue competing. The beauty business of a certain businessman is flooded with photos of her coronation and that is enough to guarantee the belief of many people when choosing her beauty salon to "upgrade beauty".
President Nawat Itsaragrisil once said bluntly: "My organization, my money, so I have to be the one to make the final decision to choose a beauty queen who has the ability to help me make money."
