Sec Check: The Way to Happiness Spain – With Miss Colombia en Espana
https://seccheck.wordpress.com/2014/12/28/the-way-to-happiness-spain-with-miss-colombia-en-espana/


* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

The Madrid org held a Way to Happiness event yesterday, presented by Eduardo Galán, described as a Venezuelan “renowned TV host, model and singer.” His primary fame, if any, appears to be from the song Dalila.

Also present was Stefania Martinez, winner of the Mr. and Miss Colombia en Espana contest. This mixed gender beauty pageant is open to Spanish residents of Colombian descent, and was sponsored in part by Scientology. Mr. Colombia en Espana was apparently unable to attend.

Here is a photo of Ms. Martinez at the pagaent.

Publicity photos for the contestants were taken at the org, with the Creed of the Scientologist plaque visible in the background.

I guess they fell for the meme 'Tits or GTFO'.

I think I'm seeing two different things in those photos. Miss Columbia at the EsImagen event, and photos of Miss Columbia, while apparently lured into the cult bunker with the promise of receiving an award. Her own copy of TWTH.

Facebook for EsImagen that has the photo shown above: https://www.facebook.com/esimagenes...3.1073741934.163732350384486/639968682760848/

Looking at their page, I see a photo, with text on it:
Participantes Míster y Miss Colombia en España 2014. La Gala se realzara en Septiembre. Gracias por seguir las publicaciones del Evento, Avala Asociación Llantos y Risas, Grupo Innovación Colombia. Siguenos en Facebook y Twitter.

Translated: Participants Mister and Miss Colombia in 2014. Spain will enhance Gala in September. Thanks for following publications Events, Tears and Laughter Avala Association, Colombia Innovation Group. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Now, watch the fist video, and notice the Scientology logos on the wall: http://misscolombiaeneuropa.com/ensayos

At 1:23, notice the cult merch atop of the furniture. Later, you can see the broken cross of scientology. This was taped in a classroom with the chairs pushed aside.

The second video is the same day, same room.

So, who is running this scam, to front for the cult?

Scientologist, Ana Maria Orozco, that's who!

Here is a photo of Ms. Martinez at the pagaent.

At first I thought that this photo was oddly irrelevant for a Scientology message board.

But, then I realized that her fake boob expansion stats are wildly inflated, so she perfectly fits in (the cult, not the dress).

Some other religions have prudish nature to sex and nudity.

Celebrity Scientologists, on the other hand seems to see sex and nudity as a means to an end.

In the USA, there seems to be a high proportion of Scientologists artists who use sex and nudity to sell film or music. I could be wrong, but they seem to be higher than the background of artists in the USA.

Unfortunately, it isn't about the art, or about healthy sexual expression, but often more about commerce and publicity and involving objectification.

Amanda Palmer is the best example, as was Mimi Rogers in her earlier film career. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were an exception in Eyes Wide Shut.

When did you get so comfortable with nudity?

I was a stripper! I have no problem being naked, but stripping was strange. Mostly it was draining, because it was a very emotionally hollow place to be. There are bouncers who come to your aid if things get out of control, but there was constant shit happening under the table. Listen to the song “Berlin” [on Theatre Is Evil]. The lyrics will tell you everything you need to know. Next time, I’ll tell you about being a dominatrix.

Have you seen the online chatter about the possibility that your Kickstarter fund was a front for Scientology because members of your husband’s family are Scientologists?

Yeah, but it’s not. That is an unfortunate side effect of marrying into the Gaiman family. I try to stay out of it, but occasionally I joke about it and do a gag response. I almost find it flattering that anyone would think I’m secretly a Scientologist, because I would have to be such a good liar.

Yeah, Amanda Palmer was born an attention whore, she didn't need $cientology's help.

I want to see the male winner in a speedo.... standing next to a photo of DM.

Or maybe a photo of DM in a speedo standing next to a photo of the male winner.

I am ALL about equal opportunity!

Will this old fart from the Freewinds suffice?

Ok.... I will now go wash my eyes out with sand..... NOT what I want to dream about tonight or ever!

All kidding aside, that was sort of my point.

Can you think of another church or religion that would sponsor a beauty pageant?

Can you think of another church or religion that would sponsor a beauty pageant featuring a bra shot?

Can you think of another church or religion that would sponsor a beauty pageant featuring women posing in front of the creed of the church?

As for the observation above that many religions tend to conservative concerning sexuality, yes, that is true. Then again, even liberal religions and denominations are sensitive concerning the objectification of women solely for the satisfaction of males -- e.g., showing them with their breasts pushed up and thrust out by a visible bra. I know feminists who are anything but prudes who would still object.

Sponsoring a beauty contest were contestants are displaying their push-up bras? Totally acceptable to and in Scientology.

Well, it was in Colombia where many women provide another definition of bazooka's. Think Sofia Vergara.

Actually, it was Spain, thought the pageant is for people of Colombian descent.

Wake up, Smurf, the weekend is over! It was in Madrid, Spain.

Wake up, Smurf, the weekend is over! It was in Madrid, Spain.

LOL. The weekend's not that much over. Regardless, it being in Spain, the women of Colombian descent are bazowee.... the guys with the bushy, dyed eyebrows, not so much.

Nothing screams religion and spirituality like a beauty pageant. That and leg shots.

Well, at least our forum men still have hormones going.

I might post more about it later, but when I first looked at the scilon lady doing random beauty contests and other events, I looked at the things she likes. There were different cult pages, but there were some straight up scams too.

Also, I thought her brand logo was a lot like the sea org branches. So I compared them. Sea org has two branches, with 13 leaves each. Her logo has two branches, and each one has 13 leaves. The sea org has a five-pointed star. Her logo has a 10-pointed crown, with five points facing forward. Maybe it's nothing.

After examining some of the scam pages, I saw a page she liked; one with the same logo as her own - and it's a NPO: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Asoc...-Madrid/653278058017862?sk=info&tab=page_info

Then there's one with an owner that's claiming to be the girl with the big boobs shown in the avatar: https://www.facebook.com/jane.wale.37/photos

In that page, they advertize something called Club Luichi, and Personal Manager.
